Frank Barone: Why the hell did I let you drive?
Marie Barone: Because you can’t see anymore.
Frank Barone: I can see a house!
Peter Boyle and Doris Roberts in the fondly remembered sitcom Everybody Loves Raymond. Though never considered edgy or trendy, the Long Island-set show was hugely popular and won 15 Primetime Emmy Awards from 69 nominations. Though the show finshed 13 years ago, it is still regularly shown. You can find more of Frank’s acerbic wit here

Haha, really funny! :-))
That’s my wonderful photography skills at work 🙂 I couldn’t find the picture I wanted online. The show is very funny. That whole scene has a whle bundle of laughs, about how it means they can’t keep a pet, cross-breezes and how a car is actually stronger than a house.
I liked it.
I do too. I’ve quoted some of my favourite lines in a few other posts which I’m sure you’ll like. What I liked what that is did what it wanted. There were no mulitple storylines, no unrealistic character developments or celebrity cameos to boost ratings. And it has my favourite ever sitcom final episode.
Letterman produced and by that I mean he took his cut. 🙂
I did not know that. It makes sense I guess. Romano did a bg break on his show.
I never watched the show regularly but Raymond’s parents were always the funniest characters!
They connected brilliantly on screen. All the cast was brilliant mind. All of them won Emmys, except for Peter Boyle who was nominated six times. But he won for his one-off role in one of my favourite ever X-Files episodes so that was something.
Ah, no kidding! He was so funny!
And he was great in awhile You Were Sleeping. Such a soft spot for that film.
It’s been years since I saw that film!
I wasn’t the biggest fan of this show but I did enjoy it. Its creator, Phil Rosenthal, now has a food show on Netflix, which I love, called “Somebody Feed Phil”. His parents, who served as inspiration for Frank and Marie, appear at the end of every episode through a video call.
Sounds interesting. I have heard good things about it. Good to know he’s still productive and successful 🙂
My entire family enjoyed the show. Brings back good memories.
I know. It really was a family show. For al the bickering you knew they really did care about each other. That really came across in the final episode too. And it seemed they really get on well off-screen which is always nice to hear. There were rumours of a UK remake but it never happened.
True they cared… Morals there and lessons for us all. 💐
And a sweetness 🙂
Ray: You used to do this before we were married. You’d make me wait in the apartment while you were getting ready, and I had to sit there and look at your books.
Debra: You used to think I was worth waiting for
Ray: You were worth waiting for. But after 15 years you should be here by now!
Ahhh love it. Love it.
Perfect quote.
Ps. Married 27 years… So i know what its like!
Love the dynamic of Frank and Marie.
It’s a crazy marriage but it works 🙂
You said it rightly there.
