Everybody Loves Raymond
A comedy about a dad who just can't resist being irresistible.
Created by Phil Rosenthal
On CBS
A warm, family-centered sitcom built on the recurring friction between Ray's immediate family and his meddling parents across the street, sustained by affection beneath the comedy.
