Got to agree. Doris Roberts was the mother in law from hell and truly made the show.

She was amazing. I also loved Peter Boyle as the father in law too. He had some amazing one liners.

I've only ever seen a few episodes of that show, but I'll never forget that rice can produce "binding" thanks to it.

"Holy. Crap."

"Trophy wife? What contest in hell did I win?"

They were both masters of their game. Both hilarious.

Contrary to popular believe, not everybody loved Raymond.

Between your typo and username, I don't know what to ... Uh ... Believe.

What typo? This is a riddle!

[–] rabber@lemmy.ca 24 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

It was also never funny

Agree I thought should been called Everbody Hates Raymond. But the parents were excellent in that show. Probably the only reason that show stay on the air so long.

Because they were seasoned and proven comedy actors. Brad Garrett has some legit chops too, but the rest of the cast were not so good

[–] Fredselfish@lemmy.world 1 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

Yeah Ray sucks never liked that guy.

[–] Ledericas@lemm.ee 3 points 11 hours ago

even the "wife" had more comedic value.

im sure some execs will figure out how to milk thi$

[–] scrubbles@poptalk.scrubbles.tech 17 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

Sure it's obvious. Ray and Deborah are now the parents, they end up doing the same thing. Brad Garrett lives with them now. Show focuses on ally and her new husband. Show goes on for two sub par seasons and is promptly cancelled

This idea is licenseable from me for 10 million dollars.
