Why We Rated This on for Ages 13 and Up

The good stuff

  • Messages:

    Some characters are intolerant and set in their ways (which is usually meant to be funny). Gender roles are pretty traditional. Some characters put others down routinely, a situation that's played for laughs. Other jokes are more good-natured. Not much cast diversity.
 

What to watch out for

  • Violence:

    People get angry and yell a lot, but they don't hit.
  • Sex:

    Sexual innuendo and jokes. Discussion of adult relationships (Ray does a fair amount of badgering Debra for sex), but only kissing is shown onscreen.
  • Language:

    One character likes to say "holy crap." "Damn" has been used as a positive remark. "Hell," "ass," and "bastard" are sometimes used.
  • Consumerism:

    Not an issue.
  • Drinking, drugs, & smoking:

    Infrequent drinking.
 

What Parents Need to Know

About Everybody Loves Raymond

Parents need to know that this series focuses on adult relationships that are marked by conflict. The intimacy issues of married couples -- including (in)frequency of sex -- often take center stage, so parents watching with kids should gauge young viewers' readiness for the mature subject matter. Characters are affectionate but also frequently fight and express resentment.

Families Can Talk About

  • Families can talk about arguing. When does it help -- and when doesn't it? When you do fight with a family member, how does it make you feel? How do you patch things up? Can people be angry with each other and love each other at the same time?

    The Funniest Sitcom Show that ever aired!!!!!!

    This is the best and Funniest Family Sitcom EVER!!!! As the content is concerned, Sex is frequent. Discussions of wanting sex and occasional episodes focus on sex but innuendos and kissing is as bad as it gets. Language gets spicy. H*ll, a*s, d*mn are used quite a bit and Frank loves saying "Holy Cr*p." Violence is minor, yelling and verbal arguments get fierce but no one lays a hand on anyone. Teens will like it but maybe younger kids can a few episodes. Preview them first for kids below 14.
