The CBS TV show "Everybody Loves Raymond" revolves around the life of Italian American Raymond Barone, a sportswriter for Newsday who is living with his family in Long Island, New York. Ray deals with his brother and parents, who happen to live across the street from him, his wife, and their three children. Patricia Heaton ("The Goodbye Girl"), Peter Boyle ("While You Were Sleeping"), Doris Roberts ("Remington Steele"), and Brad Garrett ("Gleason") round out the enjoyable cast on the show.

During the series, Ray had to specifically and persistently deal with his mom Marie (Doris Roberts), who loves to meddle in his love life; father Frank (Peter Boyle), who constantly raids his fridge, and older bother Robert (Brad Garrett), who sometimes resents Ray's success. There is also times when Ray will face Patricia Heaton (Debra) his somewhat tough-minded wife. She sometimes becomes involved in situations where Ray is left searching for clever answers or proper solutions.

The series ran for nine seasons (210 episodes) and won 15 Emmys before coming to an end in 2005.
