Starring Ray Romano, Patricia Heaton, Peter Boyle, Doris
Roberts & Brad Garret, this is a "family comedy" about,
you guessed it, Ray! Most of the humor comes from the
others(Doris, Peter & Brad)! I find this tedious at best
and boring at worst!

Reviewer From IMDb.com:
There are things I like about this show, but the
one thing I do not like is Raymond. He is so obnoxious!
I don't know why the people around him put up with
him - and why the show is so-named.
I like most of the other characters. To me, Robert is
much the better son. Raymond is entirely self-centred
and certainly does not deserve such a lovely wife and
children.
I KNOW it's only a show, and entertainment, bit it annoys
me that the others seem so oblivious of his faults.
The show is amusing - but certainly not exceptional or
deserving of all those awards. - alistair-80
