Everybody Loves Raymond/Characters: Difference between revisions

* [[Parental Favoritism]]: Marie made no secret of the fact that Ray was her favorite child, much to Robert's chagrin. Frank on the other hand, appeared to treat the two equally... poorly.

* [[Ugly Guy, Hot Wife]]: Ugly Guy to Debra's Hot Wife, with his big nose and flabby body.

'''Peter:''' ''In my house it was 'Peter, Amy's playing the piano! Put away your cape and eat your dinner!'' }}
