Would it be a good definition to think a show still being talked about a decade after it aired? With that being said, which shows are likely going to (if not already are) as "classics" and which shows were at the time they were still on the air, were expected to be but have ultimately faded from memory now 10+ years later?

Everybody Loves Raymond seems largely forgotten now. People still bring up Friends and Seinfeld but not ELR.

Girlfriends, The Game, Everybody Hates Chris, Two and a Half Men

12. EVERYBODY LOVES RAYMOND

Don’t get us wrong, we love Ray Romano. He’s an hilarious comedian with serious dramatic chops. That’s why we recommend you check out some of his other work in The Big Sick and Parenthood instead going back down memory lane with Everybody Loves Raymond.

This once-hit sitcom just isn’t that relevant anymore.

Romano plays sportswriter Ray Barone, who’s constantly in the middle of some kind of family drama. Ray’s always tasked with playing peacemaker, but he’s horrible at it, so the show’s a mess of frustrating, abusive relationships. His parents have no boundaries and are always at each other’s throats, and he and his wife have almost nothing in common.

So many of the episodes feature screaming fights for comedic effect followed by a Band-Aid resolution, and that’s a played-out trope. This show was old-fashioned when it aired, and it feels like a dinosaur now.

Everybody Loves Raymond seems largely forgotten now. People still bring up Friends and Seinfeld but not ELR.

ELR seems to have vanished from local syndication. It seems to be doing quite well on TV Land...they even had a marathon during the Super Bowl.
