What I can’t understand is why every Mr. Joe Average, like Raymond or the guy on Mad About You, has to have a wife with a lot of attitude and haughty distain for him. What kind of wimps put up with these bitchy broads?

Show\_Biz, Debra has such disdain for Raymond because he behaves like such a self-centered idiot, kinda like a male Cybil Sheppard. Although Cybil is/was a lot easier to look at.
