Everybody Hates Raymond is a three-joke show
1) His brother's really tall
2) His mother likes things clean
3) His wife could probably do a bit better than him

NINE SEASONS they made that last

I've only watched a few chapters
and found it really boring. And his mum gets me to my nerves, stupid shouting manipulative bitch.

Both his parents are absolutely nightmarish
but at least his Dad is funny. The programme isn't true to life enough to draw cringeworthy "ooh I know someone like that" comedy out of a character so his Mum is just awful

I just think
everytime I go zapping and find it, that if my mum was like that, I would break all contact with her. Easy like that. I hate her.

You should make your Mum watch an episode and tell her so
Just to make sure she knows what you expect from her in her dotage

Hahaha
That's a good idea. Fortunately, my mum is too insecure, which is usually a bad thing, but means that if you tell her off once she takes offence and never does it again.

Oh my god
Your Mum's under your thumb!

I have to suffer her things too
like her necessity to be the centre of attention and that.

Your dynamic is backwards

Don't.
"Based on the comedy of Ray Romano" is one of the credits.

I'd keep it fucking quiet if I was him.

What does that even mean?
"The comedy" of Ray Romano. Either he had an idea for a series which got horribly out of control, or it stemmed from a drunken conversation about the worst possible idea for a sitcom.

Apart from Seinfeld, of course. What the fuck?

It's all the worst things about yank comedy.
King of Queens - actually, is that your favourite?

/lazy.

Hardly ever seen it actually
You bastard.

As you ask, The Simpsons is my favourite, and no I don't own the tie to prove it. Followed by Frasier and Arrested Development.

I love Frasier
the series, not him. Although I had a crush on Niles.

You're barking up the wrong tree there babe

(Darth Foxtrot A one-man army dedicated to making fetch happen, Tue 10 May 2011, 11:21, Reply)

Why?
I don't like him anymore now. He's just kind of cute.
(Aberracion Life's getting very complicated, but a lot of fun., Tue 10 May 2011, 11:28, Reply)

Because he's a massive bender

(Darth Foxtrot A one-man army dedicated to making fetch happen, Tue 10 May 2011, 11:35, Reply)

Really?
Oh, all boys are benders lately. Is it in fashion or something?

Absolutely, darling
