Everybody Loves Raymond, or "ELR" is a great example of an overrated "comedy" that has few laughs, annoying characters, and predictable plots. It has won a ridiculous number of awards, for being a mediocre(at best) sit-com that doesn't break any new ground or introduce any breakthrough characters. The Players in this show are:
Ray:(Ray Romano) A whiny sportswriter for the "New York Newsday" who is rarely seen doing any work for said publication and instead is shown as a guy who always earns the wrath of either his wife or his parents, and spends the rest of the show trying to set it right.
Debra: (Patricia Heaton) A shrewish rhymes with witch of a wife who constantly nags Ray to do some chores(never mind the fact that he has another job as a sportswriter) and whines constantly about how hard her life is between taking care of their three kids and cleaning the house. She acts like he can do nothing right and she can do no wrong. Why this marriage works is one of the mysteries of the universe.
Marie:(Doris Richards) Ray mom, she barges into Ray and Debra's life and puts down Debra's cooking or housekeeping skills. She does though, usually take Debra's side in domestic disputes. She shows an unfunny and sometimes cruel preference for Ray over his brother Robert, and puts them both down.
Frank: (Peter Boyle) Marie's husband. He is a crude man who barges into Ray's wife along with Marie and generally watches TV or eats up their food while putting down his wife and sons. He is a boorish loudmouth jerk who is put up with by the rest of the family.
Robert:(Brad Garrett) Ray's brother, he is more than often the common sense of the family and that is a scary thought. He is slow and a bit dim-witted and seems to resent his brother, because Marie prefers Ray to him. He is used to his parents' fights and usually carries around some antacid to help him through. The only character I can stand.
