Ray Romano - Is it me, or...
Is he really, really NOT funny.
In fact that's such a crap show I just don't get it. The only good thing about that show is the brother.
The wife is an ugly bitch (and in real life she's a horrible person as well), the parents are unlikable and the entire premise is washed out.
But IIRC this moron is the highest paid actor on TV? WHAAT?
Apparently, the title of the show is contrived to convince. But some of us are smarter than that.

Now 'Everybody loves Hypnotoad', that's a good show...
We watch that show and my wife is constantly going "that is TOTALLY your parents!!"
I haven't heard anyone complain that the parents are unlikeable... most of the married people I know can relate to just about everything they do in someway or other.
About the wife... ugly bitch? I'd hit it.

He definitely appeals to the married with kids crowd more than "males aged 18 to 24", that's for sure. Also I think he is one of those "love him or hate him" personalities. Not many people I know say "ah he's just OK".

It's seen it's best days come and go for sure, but there were a couple years in there were many episodes rivaled All in the Family quality... especially in terms of how the actors play off one another. There is some very good chemistry there you don't see in 90% of modern sitcoms. I agree the parents pretty much make the show. If it were just Ray, his wife and kids, and his brother, it would suck horribly.
As it is, I doubt there's more than a couple seasons left in the tank.
The wife is an ugly bitch
Totally your opinion and frankly worthless here, since it has nothing to do with the humor quality of the show.
(and in real life she's a horrible person as well)
Uh, you now this HOW, exactly...? Entertainment tonight? People Magazine maybe? Let's hear a legit source on this one....
Or maybe is this more about your political agenda than how she is as a person? I don't know about you, but I am hestitant to label anyone as being a "horrible person" without actually meeting them and speaking with them first. Even a guy like Jerry Springer - who I suspect is a complete A-hole - I don't label as "a horrible person" because I haven't met the guy. That, and I usually reserve such titles for known felons and other scumbags.

He is paid an outrageous amount of money, but then no more so that the hundreds of professional athletes people worship on a weekly basis. Or over-rated CEOs that sit around and play fuking golf all week. Don't get me started on this one, please....

Your opinion. Don't pass it off as fact. Especially with something so utterly subjective as comedy.
You may not love Ray, but at least you do consider his show and the supporting cast. That's why Garrett held out for the money, and Romano gave it to him. Ray is no dummy to have others play off the strengths.
Also, keep in mind the cast are ACTORS. They are paid to mimic totally different personalities than their real lives.
Now darn the airlines for playing the same rerun on all 3 of my flights!
My wife and I like the show. We didn't watch it this season, too busy. So maybe it went down hill? Maybe you have to be married to get it?

Oh..you mean you found out she's Catholic.
So anyone who disagrees with your political beliefs is "a horrible person"
That idiotic comment says far more about you than her.
Words to live by: "It is better to keep silent and be considered stupid, than to open your mouth and remove all doubt."

I'm sorry, but this is not a topic I can compromise on. Her major platform is "refuse to choose" and she claims this is in the name of feminism. She is a disgrace to the real rights of women everywhere.
Yeah, what a disgrace that she has a differing opinion on a hotly contested subject. She's defitnitely a moron. Besides, she obviously knows less about womanhood than you do.

I'm pro-life and so is my wife. I guess we're horrible people too?
At least we respect the fact that other people don't agree with us. Talk about horrible....

Of course, asshole!
Now that I think about it, a show *just* about Ray would be pretty bad.
His parents are hilarious...

He's okay. I watch the show from time to time and usually enjoy it somewhat.

Whoa, this is a really old thread, i didn't notice that. Feel free to get mad at me and let this thread die.
It a bit embarrassing with Ray constantly chasing Debra around begging for sex?
