Line 14:
** The point was probably that the AIS rule was ridiculous in and of itself.
* The extent to which this show started to employ the [[Parenting the Husband]] trope in the later seasons. This alone is annoying in and of itself.
* [[Double Standard Abuse (Female on Male)|Abuse Is Okay When
* Debra's obvious emotional instability never being addressed is something that just bugs me. Given that on EVERY episode she portrayed as being nitpicky, very insecure, whiny and always unsatisfied w/the majority of things that Ray does, doesn't anyone else think that DEBRA is the problem and not Ray? How often could somebody sit there and be criticized for things that aren't that important or for things that aren't actually THAT BAD by a loved one before they seriously considered that their loved one might have a mental or emotional illness?
** Ray Romano was at least aware of this, if Ray Barone wasn't. In an HBO comedy showcase after ''[[Everybody Loves Raymond]]'' was off the air, he said something like "You have no idea how many times on the show I wanted to say 'Shut the fuck up, Debra!'"
* The attempts to justify Debra's behavior. It really needs to be said that if the roles were reversed and Ray was the abuser, ''no one'' would be trying to defend him. But due to [[Double Standard
** Not innocent. A flawed character on a show filled with flawed characters whose flaws are generally for the purposes of humor, and not meant to be taken too seriously.
*** Spousal abuse is not meant to be taken seriously? [[Unfortunate Implications]] abound.
* Robert lived with parents. Fair enough. But according to Frank and Marie's numerous discussions about money throughout the series, it's apparent that Frank paid for rent and all the food despite being fired from his job without a retirement fund. While Robert is a new york police sergeant and he doesn't pay for anything. [[What the Hell, Hero?]]?
** There's reasons nobody likes Robert.
** Speaking as someone who had to move back in with their parents after a bad situation it's possible that Marie simply refused to take any money from Robert despite him still having a steady job. In that sort of situation many family members feel it's their job to take care of someone in that situation, regardless of money.
