Trivia:

In the episode titled "Six Feet Under", Peter Boyle's character gives the same speech about mortality that he gave in Taxi Driver (1976).

Goofs:

Revealing mistakes: In the episode with Raymond's diary, Marie makes like she is reading from Raymond's diary, however from the angle that she's holding it, it's obvious that there's no writing on the page except for a standard header on every page. Raymond also doesn't write anything when she asks him to amend the entry.

Quotes:

Marie Barone: I have my own opinions. I'm not just some trophy wife.
Frank Barone: Trophy wife? What contest in hell did I win?

Movie Connections:

Featured in The 40 Year Old Virgin (2005)

Great!

Ray may be a little silly, but the whole show is funny. It never fails to make me laugh. The cast was well chosen, and the writers are well-educated and have a big sense of humor making family issues a laugh-fest every Monday Nights.
