Everybody loves Raymond

[scpanther22]

Could someone explain to me why this show was so popular?

I just really watched it for the first time and its horrible.

I thought this was going to be a thread about noodles.

I never watched it regularly... it had some funny moments, but no, it wasn't great. I think it's intended audience was older than the average crowd on here.

List of shows better:

House

Cops

First 48

South Park

Co-ed Confidential

Power Rangers

Barney and Friends

That's just the top 1%...

that's why everyone loves ramen...

Pie because I can't rep. I lol'd.

It kind of reminds me of those old BBC comedies on PBS. Every episode is just a build up to a epic akward moment.

It's about on the level of friends for me. I never watched it regularly but I have watched it before and had a good chuckle at times.

There was this one time where he throws Debra into the fridge, or the suitcase argument. I lol'd.

Debra is pretty hot for a sitcom mom.

Debra is pretty hot for a sitcom mom.

She looked a lot better after the bolt-ons and facelift...

I never watched it while it ran on tv but I bought the boxed set off amazon during a deal and I have loved the show. I'm on the final season and IMO its a top 5 sitcom.

SitComs need to die.

If you are 40+ years old and have kids, you would understand why it was funny.

Definitely a generation thing.

[CosmoGirl]

All those whiny voices. That show stressed me - too much arguing.

[Matt Foley]

Like most sitcoms, the supporting characters made the show. The brother was funny.
