This show is by far my favorite, and could watch over and over. Episodes take off from the last, and there are many parities that interconnect. There are also subtleties such as the "extra" that randomly is seen in several scenes. (Norman Brenner) In fact, one of the episodes was named, "Where's Norman." This was an inside joke within the cast, and just one of the characteristics that make this show so unique. Seinfeld and Larry David make a great team. I wish the show never ended. There will never be a show quite like this one.

The show is mediocre at best. I dont know how it rates at a 4.5. Ray has to be the biggest idiot next to Doug Heffernan. A woman like Debra, a well educated woman would ever fall for a nit wit like Ray in real life. I do find Robert, played by Brad Garrett to be fairly funny. Coming from an Italian family, I can probably identify with Frank the most with the comments about food. Otherwise, this show is on only when there is absolutely nothing else to watch. I checked the ratings to see if others found this show to be as stupid as I do, and discovered most watched the show because of memories of watching it with a family member, which I can relate to as well.

The whole drunk/drama thing is overplayed. You have all crossed the age limit where its funny. Go to rehab then college. Time to reinvent yourselves instead of trying to play a person in their 20s. You are all near or over 40! You will all soon be in a reality show to "find a new liver"

The whole drunk drama thing with these people is played out. It may have been funny when they were younger, but as they have all aged, they look like a bunch of dysfunctional alcoholics on their way to rehab or a liver transplant. They have now become the relatives you do not want to invite to Thanksgiving.
