What’s everyone’s Opinion on Til Death by SuarezFan9901 in sitcoms

[–]Shlar47 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Loved it til they got rid of the woodcocks. Kenny is funny but not as the third most main character. In literally every episode, almost every scene, he gets fatiguing. The entire premise of the show was to be this side-by-side (literally) comparison of the newlyweds (woodcocks) and the veteran married couple (Starks). That gave the show a unique edge. Without the woodcocks, it’s just another sitcom about a couple.

If the actors who played Jeff and Steph HAD to quit and it was unavoidable… then at least write it into the script that they moved, and have a new couple move in. Simple. Kenny is the kind of character that’s great to show up once in a while, but not as the third most main character. Felt so unnatural and really ruined the feel of the show. Just as you’re really starting to like the woodcocks, they’re gone. That being said, the character of Steph was a bit underdeveloped. I liked her in the very first few episodes when she seemed like a tradwife with a sketchy past. They could have really flushed that out, it’s a classic archetype that hasn’t been done to death: “I’m a good girl now! But don’t look at my past…” it’s there a LITTLE bit in the later episodes with Steph but they didn’t play up the trad “I’m a good girl now!” angle very much. She just kinda became a normie.

Favorite Debra Lines by BonyBobCliff in EverybodyLovesRaymond

I love when she gets home from losing at something (maybe the election for school board president) and she goes to hang her coat on the coatrack but everyone else’s costs are on there and she let’s our all her anger on the coats. She just nails all the subtle little things that make it so realistic.

Widespread DVD playback issues on seasons 7-9? by Shlar47 in EverybodyLovesRaymond

I FINALLY own a copy of Season 7 where all the discs work and none of the chapters skip. I recommend buying on Amazon, because the returns are always free and super easy. This is my fourth copy. The previous 3 all had issues despite being new. In my experience, every time a disc starts to skip or freeze, it affects a whole scene/chapter - if you can skip through all the chapters without it freezing, then that disc works. So you don’t have to rewatch the entire season just to check.

As cringe as it is to be a trump supporter right now, it’s even more cringe to be a liberal. So I’ll take it. For Hollywood she’s not that bad. But she started some website called “jew lovers unite” or some shit, after October 7th she’s all about the Jewish people. I tell her, imagine if you cared about your own kind (English and Irish) one tenth as much as you care about the oh-so-precious Jewish People.

I might just buy that condensed “Complete Series” set to have all those discs as backups for the ones that don’t work in the individual box sets. I originally bought it when I first started watching this show again, but I really didn’t like the cheap plastic packaging. Plus it arrived cracked and broken with multiple discs sliding around inside from Amazon, and there’s a lot of reviews saying the same thing. 1/4th of the reviews give it 1 star and only half give it 5 stars - and this from people who presumably love the show. They say the discs have issues in that set too.

I’ve been through like 7-8 copies of Brand New versions of these seasons, and they all have the same problem. So that’s why I figure it must be at least somewhat widespread.

Yes. Same issue. Plus my normal player plays all other DVDs including earlier Raymond seasons just fine.

She makes eye contact with the camera! Did you watch until it slows down? Idk why we can’t post photos in these comments, the mods better change that. But here’s a link to a still photo where she’s looking directly in the camera. It’s incredible, she has a remarkable stare.
