Raymonds character is loosely based on the real-life Romano, as he is the father of twin boys and a girl. His parents Frank Marie and brother Robert live across the street. He lives in Lynbrook, Long Island with his wife, Debra, and their three children Alexandra (Ally), Geoffrey, and Michael. One of the shows recurring elements finds the couple having a long discussion in bed each night before going to sleep. Like his father, Raymond works full-time, leaving most child-rearing responsibilities to his wife and he is often forced to help around the house. Raymond prefers sports television over discussions with Debra on marital matters. Unlike everyone else, Frank has no problem comically criticizing Marie and often comes to Debras defense whenever Marie comments disparagingly about their daughter-in-law. Largely an absentee father when the boys were growing up, Frank buries his feelings and rarely yields to sentiment.Īs the series progresses, however, several episodes demonstrate that the senior Barone loves his family immensely.
Robert and Raymond frequently argue like overgrown children, focusing much of their energy on picking on or one upping each other, although deep down they love each other dearly.
Robert, a miserable gentle giant, jealous of his younger siblings position as favorite son and also of the success his brother has achieved both professionally and personally, is Rays biggest rival. Out of the three unwanted visitors, Debra is particularly intimidated by Marie, an insulting, controlling, manipulative (though ultimately caring) woman who criticizes Debra passive-aggressively and praises Ray, clearly favoring him over other son Robbie, whose birth necessitated her marriage (a fact revealed in the episode Good Girls). Raymonds parents, Marie and Frank, live across the street with older son Robert (who, later in the series, has his own apartment ).Īll Barone relatives frequently make their presence known to the annoyance of Raymond and Debra Debras justifiable complaints about Raymonds overbearing family serve as one of the shows comedic elements. The Barone children are regular characters but not a major focus. He often avoids responsibilities around the house and with his kids, leaving this to his wife, Debra.
