In the late 1990s, actor/comedian Ray Romano created, along with Philip Rosenthal, the TV show “Everybody Loves Raymond” loosely based on his family life. Airing on CBS, the comedy ran for nine successful seasons, winning the “Outstanding Comedy Series” Emmy award twice. This particular fan loves it when an episode airs in syndication while he’s visiting his parents, relishing the joy the show inspires in his mother and father and noting ruefully how the family on screen mirrors the one watching. The situational writing remains clever and the marital themes are as relevant today as they will be as long as the institution exists.
