Necro aside:
Patricia Heaton is OK. But Debra was mostly a whiny bitch and her schtick got old quickly. In fact all the characters became more annoying as the series went on.
The Middle is better because they start kind of annoying and slowly become better people.

So she's what now .... 63? (I believe the below is fairly current)

Hope I look that good in 5 more years! :D



Ray's Mom & dad were by far the funniest characters IMO. Some of the episodes of which I thought were extremely humorous.

Although I was not a "regular" my ex-wife never missed an episode.

Peg beat Deb hands down.

Ray's Mom & Pop were the biggest reasons I couldn't watch the show. There were a few other shows where the Mom and/or Pop totally destroyed the show.

Peter Boyle may have been OK given how he did the Monster with Gene Wilder, but that Doris Roberts thing was just grating. She all but ruined Remington Steel and another sitcom years earlier.

"Doris May Roberts was an American actress, author, and philanthropist whose career spanned seven decades of television and film. She received five Emmy Awards and a Screen Actors Guild award during her acting career, which began in 1951." ~ (ripped from wiki)


While you are of course entitled to your opinion and comedy in particular is completely subjective, Doris Roberts had a long and very successful acting career winning multiple awards. (at least according to her millions of fans and her peers)

Doris Roberts - IMDB

(also her character in "Raymond" was SUPPOSED to be mind-numbingly annoying to near the point of insanity... she nailed it. RIP )

After he joined was when I really realized that Anandtech does not take the "are you 13 years or older?" prompt seriously when registering.


I'm not sure him being MENTALLY under 13 really counts! ;)

(for some folks its a permanent condition!)
