[QUOTE=Raguleader] Did you ever see the antacid commerical those two did, with Brad Garret sitting on the edge of the bed saying “I can’t believe I ate the whole thing!” and Doris trying to sleep in the bed making snarky comments? 😃 [/QUOTE] You sure it was Brad Garrett? -Joe ---

The show would make me think. I’d watch it for about 15 seconds, then ponder the Ultimate Question: “WTF was the network exex who approved this smoking when he did it?”. I would then change channels. ---

Meh. _Not so much._ It’s mildly funny, at times, with a better than average cast. The Wife from the other show (where the guy is a UPS delivery man?) is hotter. I don’t understand why dudes think it is either so great, or others hate it with a white-hot loathing. 😕 ---

KoQ is a lot less exaggerated comedy I guess, though Arthur is a great character. ---

I liked the episode where Raymond wanted to have sex but Debra didn’t. :rolleyes: ---

[QUOTE=Merijeek] Frank Boyle played Doris Roberts’ husband on the show. [/QUOTE] Frank is the character’s name. The actor is Peter Boyle, and he is in the commercial. Also, the ad is a remake of an ad that was done 34 years ago. [http://money.cnn.com/2005/12/12/news/funny/alkaseltzer/](http://money.cnn.com/2005/12/12/news/funny/alkaseltzer/) ---

I cannot stand ELR. His mother and wife should be taken out and shot. And he should be repremanded for marrying such a bitchy petty woman. Uuuuuhg. I can’t STAND her. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/so-who-else-loves-everybody-loves-raymond/368559.md?page=1)
