Trivia:

The title "Everybody Loves Raymond" was not Ray Romano's idea - he was against it.

Goofs:

Continuity: Robert is supposed to have a quirk where he touches food to his chin before eating it. Throughout the shows, he sometimes does this and sometimes doesn't. He mainly does it in the episode it it mentioned in.

Ray Barone: What?

I am loving this!

This show is by far one of the best comedies I have seen in a long time! Great acting, writing....everything and what makes this show so good is the fact that it is based on the life of Ray Romano (unless you KNOW it, do not write it). I consider this family to be the poster children for dysfunctional families but are so funny and entertaining in the process. Loving this!
