User Reviews

Funny, with good dialogue.

This show is about a man named Raymond Barone, a sports columinst, who has a wife (Debra) and 3 kids. He lives in a big house, makes money, has beautiful kids and wife. No problem, right? Wrong. He lives across the street from his parents and brother. The family from HELL. (Wou-wou-wou-wouuuu)

His mother is always complaining about Debra, his dad is going senile and his brother is a jealous giant. This show, on paper, seems weird, but is actually fairly normal. It deals with real life problems (of some sort) and the characters are pretty realistic.

The show has above-average acting, especially from a standup-turned-TV star. Peter Boyle, as Ray's dad, has by far the funniest moments, followed by 6 foot 8 Garret as his brother.

The only real problem I can find here is that almost every episode starts out the same.(But unwinds differently.)

A good show that you should probably check out,if you aren't already.
