"This show is one of the funniest shows I have ever seen (next to Friends and Will and Grace). It is about Ray, a newspaper columnist, living with his family, and his intrusive parents live across the street. Deborah is Ray's wife. She constantly needs to balance her own three kids and a husband. It is much harder for her when Marie keeps sub-consciously insulting Deborah's cleaning, cooking, and parenting. If you watch the show, you know what to expect when she reacts to things. Marie is Ray and Robert's overbearing mother. Whenever she gets in people's way, her excuse is "I do it for love". Frank is the most blunt, couch-potatolike, and one of the most funniest characters I have ever watched. He keeps calling Marie a nag and the most contact he has with her is when Marie is told by Frank "Make me: eggs, a sandwich, bacon, steak, and other foods. Marie doesn't mind at all. Frank and Marie are what you call a "dysfunctional loving family". The one left out is Robert. He's Ray's brother. He works as a police officer in the NYPD. Everytime he comes home with good news, Ray trumps that and gets all of the attention. These two are usually seen competeing for their parents attention. Whenever Deborah wants Ray and/or Robert that their parents (Frank and Marie) are doing something wrong, the two sons always come up with a reason to not tell them that they are doing something wrong.(For example: Marie comes over to Ray's house everyday, Marie continues to control the family without knowing it."

Great show - Terrible quality DVD

"I don't know who actually produced the DVD manufacturing for HBO/CBS, but they need to recall all the DVD's and replace them. The quality of the DVD's, especially on Disc 1, the Pilot is worse than pirated copies from VHS.

I love the show. I always have and always will, but my Raymond fix will have to be satisfied with reruns from TV. I have several other television series bought from Amazon and they've all been exceptional. But the ELR collection is scratchy, grainy, out of focus, washed-out colors, and the DVD playback stutters and hangs.

The one star is for the production quality only, not the show or customer service. Amazon processed and delivered in the usual grade-A manner. So none of this is Amazon's fault. I'll continue to buy, but I may be a little more careful in the future before buying a DVD series produced by or for HBO/CBS.

Keep in mind, though, that the Hogan's Heroes is CBS, but it is Paramount/CBS. Its quality is superb, so the key is HBO video.

If you don't mind putting up with the glitches above, go ahead and get this series. Otherwise, watch it on reruns or wait for CBS to get someone other than HBO video to produce it."

Funny show!
