Yeah, I said it, and I'll say it again. This show beats Seinfeld, and I think Seinfeld is friggin awesome. As more time elapses and these shows are seen in changing contexts, Raymond's humor-from-family-pain beats Seinfeld's humor-from-self-centeredness.
One anonymous IMDb writer isn't going to change anyone's thinking. I didn't always feel this way, but I tuned into a syndicated Raymond for the first time in a year, and I was blown away by how good-and how truthfully painful-the episode was. The show can be funny, and it can occasionally grab your guts with it's troubled family poignancy.
I'm not saying Ramano tops Seinfeld, Garrett beats Richards et al. The whole beats the sum of it's parts for each show. These are two of the greatest ever. I just think Raymond comes out on top.
score 10/10
