On Everybody Loves Raymond

I never know how I feel about this show. Every once in a while, I see why everybody loves Raymond, I see the humor of the show. Other times though, I really just can't get into it, I don't find the characters or storyline funny. For me, it's really easy for me to get interested in a show when it's on cable during the day considering I love to procrastinate so if I'm watching something on television that helps me in doing that. I'll watch According to Jim, not that great of a show in my opinion, or even Yes Dear (and I think that show sucks). But when it comes to Everybody Loves Raymond, sometimes the jokes just aren't that great, and other times it can be as funny as Friends or The Office.

I remember when I first started watching Everybody Loves Raymond, my mom had recorded it one night and told my dad and me to watch it because she thought we'd find it hilarious. My mom doesn't exactly have the same humor as us so it's no surprise she would pick a show that doesn't really interest us. The episode, though, actually was a fairly funny one about Marie when she won't take the plastic off the couches because she's afraid of them getting stained or ruined if she ever actually takes the plastic wrap off and let people sit on the actual cushions. When she finally lets Ray and Robert sit on the couch without the wrap they feel awkward and uncomfortable. Most of the humor I find from the show comes from Marie and Frank actually, but more on that in another post.
