Everybody Loves Raymond was on for like, 11 seasons, and well, everybody loves it. I have caught a few reruns, and I have to admit... I kind of love it. But at the same time, wow... what a depressing show. If there wasn't a laugh track, this would be a tragedy, not a comedy. Patricia (or whatever her fake name is, oh yea, Debra, that's right) is almost always feeling unfulfilled. Raymond is almost always not giving her what she needs. It's scarily just like what I always fear marriage would be like. And we are supposed to feel better by the end of the show because they hug at the end? Ouch.
Everybody loves laughing at husbands and wives that are bored with each other. :(

You're so right. I've gotten hooked on the show in repeats myself, but it really is depressing when you think about it. Debra is surrounded by a bumbling, spineless husband, and horrible in-laws.
he really is kind of a jerk, but we are supposed to fogive it because he is funny.
And poor Robert! They are really mean to him. In real life, he would be in therapy.
He also should probably get surgury to clear his sinuses.
on the other hand...why sugar coat marriage? it's not always champagne and roses (esp. when there is a 6 week old living with you...can you say sleep deprivation?)
