Everybody Loves Raymond/YMMV: Difference between revisions

* [[Follow the Leader]]: Helped restart the somewhat-dormant trend in dysfunctional family comedies (after several years of ''[[Home Improvement]]''-style [[Dom Com|Dom Coms]]) and basically jump-started a whole new era of [[Ugly Guy, Hot Wife]] sitcoms. ''Many'' of the sitcoms from the ''Raymond'' era are clones -- ''[[The King of Queens]]'' being the most notable and famous one.

* [[Freud Was Right]]: Used in "Marie's Sculpture" with Marie's...rather "feminine" abstract statue.

* [[Informed Wrongness]]: Ray in practically every episode of the later seasons is portrayed as being wrong no matter what, whether or not it actually makes sense. Even in episodes where Debra does the exact same thing or does something worse, ''Ray'' will inevitably be the one forced to apologize and/or the one who gets humiliated at the end of the episode.

* [[It's Popular, Now It Sucks]]: Initially, the sitcom was highly-touted by critics as a great new show that wasn't as popular as it deserved to be. Once the ratings started growing and the show became huge, the series was now considered an easy target for people mocking "modern sitcoms".
