Most terrible long-running show ever?

Seriously, I have never thought this show was funny or entertaining, and aside from my ex-girlfriend's mom, I don't know anybody who actually likes it.

Yet it ran for 9 years, and won all kinds of awards.

Does anybody like this show?

<----- slowly raises hand

If you are married w/children and with in-laws it makes more sense and hits home a lot more.

That makes sense, but I know plenty of those people, and none of them are Raymond fans.

I really enjoyed it. It's better than most of the sitcoms on tv right now (the few that are left).

love the show, funny as hell. I come from a big Italian family and I laugh at how much it mirrors my family.

Mom that loves to cook, grouchy dad, me the little brother who everyone says mom spoiled, big brother that says that a lot, etc.

The sitcoms on tv nowadays suck. The Office, Earl, the CBS shows, and Fox ones.

It's no Friends, but I enjoy it when there isn't much on.

It was certainly better than The Cosby Show, and at least as good as Saved By The Bell.

Horrible show but, then again, I think Ray Romano is about as funny as that roadkill I just ran over on my drive home.

I don't LOVE the show, but I like a few of the characters, most notably Frank, who was played by Peter Boyle. I wouldn't expect people who weren't in long time relationships or who weren't married to really relate to this show. I've watch a lot of the episodes and thought it was a lot better than most sitcoms. The family had real problems and real fights.

Also, Peter Boyle was John Lennon's best man, so that's something about how cool he is.

I never really watched it, but when I happened to catch an episode, I always lol'd at his brother.

I never got into it, but I know a lot of people who dig it.

Really funny show, one of the few shows that I'll actually belly laugh during. Ray Romano is probably the weakest actor on the show, as the parents are great and I love Brad Garrett.
