Can't get past the woeful lead character.

Adding 'Hank 'n Pat' as Robert's parents-in-law was a really good addition. Imo they never jumped the shark.https://community.betfair.com/chit_chat/go/thread/view/94038/30735345/everybody-loves-raymond?post_id=549977647#549977647I don't think it went on too long, the later series are every bit as good as the earlier ones.
