Trivia:

Ray Romano's real-life daughter, Alexandra Romano appears throughout the series as Ally's friend Molly. She appears in the episodes _"Everybody Loves Raymond" (1996) {The Wedding: Part 2 (#2.25)}_ (1998)_, _"Everybody Loves Raymond" (1996) {It's Supposed To Be Fun (#6.8)} (2001)_, _"Everybody Loves Raymond" (1996) {Cookies (#6.15)} (2002)_, _"Everybody Loves Raymond" (1996) {Sleepover At Peggy's (#7.19)} (2003)_, _"Everybody Loves Raymond" (1996) {Liars (#8.7)} (2003)_ and _"Everybody Loves Raymond" (1996) {Party Dress (#8.15)} (2004)_.

Goofs:

Incorrectly regarded as goofs: In one particular episode, one of the actors accidentally refers to Doug Heffernan (of King of Queens, as played by Kevin James) as "Kevin" - his real life name. Kevin James appeared 9 times in "Everybody Loves Raymond." In the first six appearances, during seasons one and two, his character was simply referred to as "Kevin." In the final three appearances, during season three, he portrayed his "Doug Heffernan" character from "The King of Queens." This is probably because the final appearance as "Kevin" took place in May of 1998, while "The King of Queens" did not debut until September of 1998.

Quotes:

Debra Barone:Honey, show daddy what you drew.
Ray Barone:That's okay, I can figure it out.
[Ally hands Ray a drawing]
Ray Barone:Um, lets see. A big wall of red?
Ally Barone:No.
Debra Barone:Ally told me that was a picture of you in hell.

wonderful sitcom

I'm not a big fan of TV. I think most of it is terribly contrived and has very little to do with the lives of normal people. This show is different. The fights they get into, the disputes, everything is true and funny. Ray is the beleaguered protagonist and his parents and brother are absolute scene stealers. This show is just wonderful. The writing is good and I can really see these sorts of things happening in my family. It is much easier to watch when it is someone else's family though.
