Ray and Debra Barone

Ray Barone
Gets into trouble on his own
He's a sports writer and a family man
Part of a dysfunctional Italian clan


Debra Barone
Her husband does things she cannot condone
With overbearing in-laws across the street
Her mood flips between sour and sweet



*Everybody Loves Raymond*

Very clever and well crafted, Jenna, I remember thinking 'I don't know how Debra keeps her sanity with those people!'

Oh, I agree. Living across from in-laws who barge into your home would not sit well with me. Ray tried to get away with so much, but the chemistry between all the actors was great. Thanks, Michelle.

Although I'm not familiar with the show I'd put money on it being a great entry for the contest. Tom

If there's any way you can watch it, Tom, you'd be doing yourself a favor. It was on for 9 years. Thanks for your confidence in me.

Thank you, Chris. Sometimes their facial expressions were as funny as the dialogue.
