Trivia:

Each episode ends with a plate of food (never the same two dishes) being offered to the viewer. After the show's final episode, instead of food a check with "no charge" on it was set in place of the plate.

Goofs:

Continuity: In one of the episodes, Raymond is talking to Debra. If you look at Ray's shirt, it is clean. Next shot, it is dirty. It keeps doing this.

Quotes:

[Robert started hanging out with black people]
Frank Barone:I don't even understand one word you're saying anymore. Yesterday, why the hell did you call me "dog"?
Robert Barone:It's a good thing. It means I like you.
Frank Barone:I see. In that case, from this day on I'm calling you "jackass". That's also a sign of affection.
[Ray comes in]
Frank Barone:Hey, ugly.
Ray Barone:What the hell was that for?
Frank Barone:It's "Robert Talk". It means you're good-looking.
[to Marie]
Frank Barone:Hey, good-looking.

Marie's 'representation' of seniors

Someone once posted a comment about Marie being a disappointment for seniors everywhere. The big part of it is this, that Raymond's mother is an exaggerated form of Phil Rosenthal and Ray Romano's Mother also, I don't get why people believe like with The Cosby Show (as far as black representation) that the seniors on the show have to represent ALL seniors or the majority of them.

In Seinfeld, I know a couple that was similar to George's parents, but that doesn't mean that they are the representation or the unique representation of seniors everywhere. It is a TV show that is based on the families of the writers and the creators of which Phil Rosenthal and Ray Romano are. Also, my mother isn't as overprotective as Marie is but I don't go around yelling about how Marie isn't like her. TV is representative of not only people but of the way writers see them as well as the characters and how they act. Good writing takes this and makes it known to the audience.

Thank you for reading
