Frank (Peter Boyle \"While You Were Sleeping\") and Marie (Doris Roberts \"Remington Steele\"), love to meddle in his life while older brother, Robert (Brad Garrett \"Suicide Kings\"), sometimes resents his success. Nevertheless, Ray manages to keep a bright outlook and a sense of humor as he balances his family and work life.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"Hi, I'm Ray and I live here in Long Island with my wife, Debra.\" Thus Ray (Ray Romano) introduces himself in the opening to each episode of his Emmy-winning comedy series. He proceeds to mention their children (Ally, Michael, and Geoffrey), then notes as an aside, \"It's not really about the kids.\" He's right--it isn't. They don't even appear in each episode. \u003cbr\u003eEverybody Loves Raymond\u003cbr\u003e looks like any other family sitcom, but isn't. Everything is just a little bit better. Sure, it isn't as clever as \u003cbr\u003eSeinfeld\u003cbr\u003e (on which Romano and Brad Garrett appeared in their early days) or as sophisticated as \u003cbr\u003eFrasier\u003cbr\u003e; nor is it trying to be. The real subject of the show is Ray's relationship with Debra (Patricia Heaton), parents Frank and Marie (Doris Roberts and Peter Boyle), and brother Robert (Garrett).\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEverybody Loves Raymond\u003cbr\u003e trains a microscope on the day-to-day ephemera of Ray's life. And since he's a sportswriter, a number of sports stars made guest appearances during the first season, including Kareem Abdul-Jabbar (\"Frank, the Writer\") and Terry Bradshaw (\"Debra's Sick\"), but this will happen less often in the years to come. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOn the surface, Ray has an ideal life, but he's always trying to please everyone; and someone inevitably feels left out. Sometimes it's Debra, sometimes Frank and Marie, sometimes Robert, and sometimes his buddies (including \u003cbr\u003eKing of Queens\u003cbr\u003e star Kevin James). Then there are his in-laws (Katherine Helmond and Robert Culp). If this were a different kind of show, Ray would have a breakdown at the end of each episode, but instead he finds a solution to each problem--and it usually comes from Debra. In short order, \u003cbr\u003eEverybody Loves Raymond\u003cbr\u003e became a top-rated program, with several cast members winning Emmys--numerous times in the case of small-screen scene-stealer Doris Roberts. \u003cbr\u003e-- Kathleen C.
