Ray Romano is, next to Adam Sandler, the most successful proponent of the I'm-dumb-as-a-stone-and-it's-funny school of comedy. The Ray Barrone character is, as lightly veiled as one can be, Ray himself. In America, tragically stupid is funny. Or at least, it was until the real-life exponent sat in the White House for four years, flamboyantly destroying the representative democracy we used to count on. It's less funny when the real consequences of idiocy come to life. So, now it's not as easy for me to enjoy stupidity as it once was. Part of the attraction was that it "could never happen" in real life. But now we know that's no longer the case.

New friends
aloch-3032028 October 2022
Fun episode. Debra talks Frank and Marie into making new friends after Marie says they have no friends. There are some good jokes. However, Frank does have friends. In one episode earlier this season Frank bets on sports with his buddies using inside tips from Ray. Also, in season one, Frank takes Ray to the lodge to play poker with his buddies, Stan, Garvin, etc. And Marie is freinds with Lee, Stans wife. Although Lee hasnt been in an episode yet.
Still, a great episode involving new characters. The end has a very entertaining , but short clip of Frank and Marie, the new friends, and Ray at a senior dance.
