Does everybody love 'Raymond'?
By Donna Freydkin, Special for USA TODAY
What's not to love about Everybody Loves Raymond, CBS' Monday night marvel?
Ray Romano and Patricia Heaton star in Everybody Loves Raymond, which shows the flip side of married life.
Apparently, quite a bit, despite its critical kudos and resoundingly high ratings. The Emmy-winning show, now in its seventh season, seems to continuously inspire either love or loathing. There's not much of a gray area, as Raymond's star and executive producer Ray Romano freely concedes.
"No matter what you do, someone likes it and someone doesn't," says Romano. "I wouldn't call it a cult following, but we do have dedicated fans. They take it seriously, watching it and being devoted to it. This is one of those shows. I guess it just strikes a nerve with people, but you can't question it too much or then you'll lose it."
