Everybody Loves Raymond was the quintessential “family/marriage sitcom” of its decade. It was never genre-bending, but generally solid and always dependable. Ray and Debra seemed like people who could easily be living across the street from you (which was the whole idea). Of course, the characters of Ray’s parents and his brother Robert were just as important — if not more so. Look no further than the show’s Emmy history, where Doris Roberts and Brad Garrett led the series in wins.
