About This Quiz

In October 1996, "Everybody Loves Raymond" premiered on CBS and starred comedian, Ray Romano. The sitcom focused on Raymond and his wife raising their three children with Raymond's doting and boundary-ignoring family living right across the street.

The show was filled with fan favorites, such as the late and great Doris Roberts, who played Marie (with her overbearing nature) and Peter Boyle, who played Frank, who was famous for his crude jokes.

Although it's easy to remember their character arcs, what else can you remember about this family? Sure, Robert was insecure, but what did he do for a living? Debra spent most of the series as a homemaker, but she previously did PR for what professional sports team?

"Everybody Loves Raymond" went off the air in 2005 after nine successful seasons. It even crossed over into the world of "The King of Queens." After spending nine years with the Barones, do you know everything there is to know about them? Will everyone love you at the end of this quiz? We're anxious to see!
