  1. Whatever happened to that girl? Did she become a drug addict and/or hooker?

    And I haven’t a clue why anyone loved Raymond, seeing from the few (thankfully) episodes I’ve seen the whole point of the show is everyone but his brother (and dad, now that I think of it), so mostly just his mother and himself treating his wife badly. I’d be like, “Keep the kids, they’re brats anyway. Let your mom raise them. Me and your brother are out of here, and we’re taking your dad too.”

    Oh! you don’t suppose that was the series ending, was it? or did the annoying ones maybe get hit by buses? (in the dead way, not in the Ethan Frome way, where wifey then gets to spend the rest of her life spooning soup into them. And I didn’t think that show could get worse, but I’d forgotten about Ethan Frome.)

  2. Ah, F. Murray.

    I prefer Bernardo Gui myself, because he BURNED HERETICS (and sometimes the innocent, who were heretics ANYWAY).

    I think I’ve had too much coffee today.

  3. My thoughts exactly; I always thought it should be titled, “Apparently, Everyone Loves Raymond, Even Though He’s a Jerk.”

  4. Never could make myself sit through an entire episode.

    On the good side, tonight is Lost night!

  5. I always say “You can’t just say ‘everyone loves ramond’ and expect me to belive it! Just saying doesn’t make it so. I fucking hate him.”

  6. Er, well, yes.

    Adso (or Adsum) of Melk, waaaaay too cute. Still is – I mean I watched “Pump Up the Volume” HOW many times in theaters, and only partially because Samantha Mathis reminded me of the uber-goth I went to senior prom with, and only partially because the plot was one I WANTED to do when I was that age – pirate radio shedding light on the REAL TROUBLES of TODAY’S YOUTH.

    Nah. All about Christian and his Spock-inspired eyebrows.

  7. I never understood the appeal. Personally I didn’t think it was that funny. But then again, there is very little sitcom comedy that I think is funny.

  8. I don’t know if I ever saw a whole one, but I may have just for the sake of being able to tell if the show actually got better at any point. (It didn’t.)

  9. Proof that *not* “everyone loves Raymond”…

    I can’t stand that show…He sounds like a fricken Muppet…

    I think “Small Wonders” is everyone’s hell…

  10. I heart Peter Boyle

    Other than that, it can go to hell riding a hockeystick for all I’m concerned.

  11. Apparently, the girl went all Christo, she appeared on the 700 Club with the Devil!

    Now she works with children. As opposed to just terrifying them.

  12. I so hated Raymond. As a stand-up comic, he was funny. As a sit-com character, he sucked ass, and not in a good way. Most annoying show ever. Well, aside from Barney and the Teletubbies. But they’re a whole different magnitude of sick and evil.

  13. omg, Small Wonder. That used to give my mom hissy-fits. How incredibly creepy.

    I am ashamed to say that “Raymond” has grown on me, if only because of Brad whatshisname, the huge brother. I don’t know why, I just like his overacting. It fits his overgrown body.
