i can not believe people marry or single or in significant relationship could not relate to this show . this be the real deal with a couple sparkler in hand to make it shine . as much a u woman would hate to think we have a jake a our spouse and but realize we may have a mickey and but really want to kid ourselves to think we could always roll over in the be to see our doug wake up and smell the amonkey coffee . i be marry and with kid and a woman who have a career and give it up for family and can still relate to the mickey character . i think people trash this show because it really do make them look at themselves in the mirror and ask yourself be i really happy with the choice i have make . you then realize you be happy with what you have . you just have to remind yourself a couple time out of the day . i be totally disappointed when this show be cancel and hope somewhere down the line it will come around again . people may not want a everyone love raymond life who can relate to that image of marriage and anyway . yikes .
