    Everybody Loves Raymond makes me more depressed than humored.

    Agreed. Seinfeld is not the be all to end all.


    But I can't think of another show with more classic moments...save for the Simpsons.

    Exactly!

    “There's very little advice in men's magazines, because men don't think there's a lot they don't know. Women do. Women want to learn. Men think, "I know what I'm doing, just show me somebody naked."

    “A bookstore is one of the only pieces of evidence we have that people are still thinking.”

    "I sense great vulnerability. A man-child crying out for love. An innocent orphan in the post-modern world."
    "I see a parasite. A sexually depraved miscreant who is seeking only to gratify his basest and most immediate urges."
    "His struggle is man's struggle. He lifts my spirit."
    "He is a loathesome, offensive brute. Yet I can't look away."
    "He transcends time and space."
    "He sickens me."
    "I love it."
    "Me too."


    "The sea was angry that day my friends, like an old man trying to send back soup in a deli."

    "So what happened?"
    "She's into it."
    "Into what?"
    "The menage. And not only that. She just called me and said she talked to the roommate and the roommate's into the menage too."
    "That's unbelievable."
    "Oh, it's a scene man."
    "Do you ever just get down on your knees and thank god that you know me and have access to my dementia?"
    "What are you talking about? I'm not goin' to do it."
    "You're not goin to do it? What do you mean, You're not goin to do it?"
    "I can't. I'm not an orgy guy."
    "Are you crazy? This is like discovering Plutonium ... by accident."
    "Don't you know what it means to become an orgy guy? It changes everything. I'd have to dress different. I'd have to act different. I'd have to grow a moustache and get all kinds of robes and lotions and I'd need a new bedspread and new curtains I'd have to get thick carpeting and weirdo lighting. I'd have to get new friends. I'd have to get orgy friends. ... Naw, I'm not ready for it.
    "If only something like that could happen to me."
    "Oh, shut up you couldn't do it either."
    "I know."


    "Are you still master of your domain?"

    I thought the only people who liked Raymond were women, or men who had like it because their women forced them to watch it.

    If I had to pick, I'd pick Raymond... just because I think Jerry is annoying. So is Raymond but he doesn't get as much coverage as Sienfeld so it's the less of two evils.

    The only 2 shows that I really watched as a kid were Saved by the Bell and Fresh Prince.

    Easily Seinfeld.

    Seinfeld and Friends are on it's own level...

    ELR is great, but just not as great as Seinfeld.

    Seinfeld hands down. I watch Raymond on TBS from time to time, but only if nothing else is on.

    Seinfeld. . . that's a whole other story. Since I didn't have cable this past semester, all I did was watch Seinfeld 24/7 for 4 months and this was just after having seen it all on Netflix. That show never gets old. In the past 6 moths, I have probably seen the complete series about 20+ times.

    Unfortunately, the 24/7 channel go cut. :(

    This isn't even close. Raymond has it's funny moments but I think I'd even take Wings over it.

    Wait Seinfeld characters get annoying? Raymond, the bizzaro Raymond, the b**** wife, and the mopey brother are the most annoying characters in the history of TV. Oh wait the mama and daddy Raymond... oh and the kids. Jesus, kids are the worst. Raymond is one big cesspool of annoying human beings.

    I think they're both garbage.

    I really don't understand the whole thing with Seinfeld. I've never been able to tolerate an entire episode.

    If you are watching TV by yourself = Seinfeld

    If you are watching TV with your gf/wife = Raymond

    both are very funny....seinfeld competes with modern family and arrested development as my favorite of all time....

    but modern family and arrested development are both so unique, i don't typically think of them as sitcoms.

    Oh gawd... This clip is horrible and not funny at all. Watching a married couple bicker is just terrible.

    Better poll would be Seinfeld vs Simpsons.

    not really, it would still be a landslide

    I'm not really sure how these 2 are even comparable, I like ELR a lot, but it's not even close

    This is like comparing Batman Forever to The Dark Knight

    I'm in the minority. I never cared too much for Seinfeld. Individual episodes are awesome sometimes, but as a whole I think it aged poorly and other than Kramer the main characters are pretty obnoxious.

    Raymond is hilarious. The old parents kill me.
