Everybody loves Raymond, but do they really?

Everybody loves Raymond, but do they really? I believe not. It is the T.V. show that they love. Not Raymond, perhaps his character, but not the actual actor himself.

Why is this? It's because it is comedy, something that makes us happy and makes us laugh. Something we can look at and say " Hey, thats funny!" It is a type of entertainment, in other words something that entertains us.

So why don't we love the actor? We don't necessarily "love" the actor because he is not like that in real life. He is like that in the T.V. show.

So why do we "love" Raymond? We "love" raymond because he is a hilarious character. He has a wife and kids, and a brother, a mother and a father. All of which are the main characters. He makes us laugh.

So, therefore we buy into the T.V. show name, we think we "love" Raymond, when in reality, he is only a character being portrayed. So indeed we do not love Raymond, we love his character.

The name of the show wasn't meant to express the feelings of those watching it. It was meant to tell us a) who the main character is and b)it was a joke because not all of the characters in the show do love Raymond.
