Raymond

I neither liked nor watched "Everybody Loves Raymond" the 10 years or so that it was on tv, and I think I am in the minority. The small parts I did watch were, dare I say, trite and mind-numbing. Recently while watching a commercial, there was a clip commercial advertising "Raymond". It has been a while since something made me laugh out loud every time I saw it, in addition to any time the thought of that certain thing crossed my mind. Raymond did it, and did it well. I don't know the characters nor the situation, but Raymond's parents were arguing, with his mother saying "I'm not just some trophy wife, you know!". His response: "What contest in Hell did I win!?"
Classic.

My husband and I used to watch "Raymond" - we would tape it. Many times we would have to pause the tape and then rewind because we were laughing so hard at something Peter Boyle said. One of my favorite lines was when Ray and his mother went on a cruise together and he was not really digging the cruise. She, on the other hand, was. She said to him rather excitedly "There's a show this evening!" and his response was a deadpan, "oh, darn, cuz I was going to hang myself." The delivery was priceless.
