@@chiefouko Yes, she passed away in her sleep on April 17, 2016, at her home in Los Angeles following a stroke, at the age of 90.

She never stopped. Whether working professionally or with her many charities, or just nurturing and mentoring a green young comic trying to make it as an actor, she did everything with such a grand love for life and people and I will miss her dearly.

Same here !! Going through a depression right now and I’m rewatching this show, so much I’ve missed back then and I absolutely love to laugh and this show makes me laugh, and Marie IS MY MOTHER, I feel like Robert, opposed my brother… “ it’s all about Anthony” which is what I’ve been saying pre-Everybody loves Raymond” soooooo it’s funny and sometimes sad to me at moments bc I feel like the character Robert, just a girl version 😢 However they do love each other and wouldn’t let Robert down no matter what, wish I could say that much Thank God for great friends !! Sometimes friends are better than family, unfortunately ✝️✝️✝️✝️✝️✝️✝️✝️✝️
One of the very last of the consistently truly funny shows on TV. Loved how Frank held his own in his responses to Marie's meddling, etc. Frank and his one liners -- truly funny.
Yes ! that’s because I think it was actually filmed before a live studio audience and that makes all the difference. The audience’s reactions, the way various people laugh, actually supports the actors and helps get the laughs even more. The audience can react and respond better when it’s live. Some of the audience members’ cackles, gaffs, hehaws, and in this case that guy’s snorting /gasps for air, mean that Robert’s facial expressions were spot on. Brad Garrett, the actor who plays Robert was a great physical comedian. Sometimes I feel he was very influenced by Michael Richards who played Kramer in Seinfeld. It’s a very similar physical comedy vaudevillian acting style. The expressions were very similar. In fact, in another universe, Brad Garrett could’ve easily been cast to play Kramer.
@lapislazuli7876 Exactly why I prefer sitcoms to have a live audience rather than a laugh track. The live audience reactions just makes it funnier. A laugh track is just annoying.
Perfect marriages or relationships simply don't exist. There's no one-size-fits-all approach to navigating them. What may be effective for Adam might not resonate with Peter. However, I've come to realize that there's always a solution to every problem. Half a decade ago, my wife and I faced such difficulties in our marriage that divorce seemed imminent. Despite the ordeal, we persevered, and today, we've triumphed over that rough patch, reunited and stronger than ever
There is a lot of sense in what you just said and I hope mine works the same way too, we are currently separated but I cant live without her, I love her so much. wish I can get her back I can do anything to have her back, we have tried therapy amongst other things
Letting go of someone you love is always challenging, but in my situation, I had the guidance of a spiritual counselor who prevented my marriage from falling apart. Her name is Suzanne Ann Walters..
Ahhh Marie! Classic funny comedy - she reminds me of my nona…great actress, all the actors are talented in this show. Bravo 👏 thank you for all the laughters!
I'll say it . I can't stand Marie. A domineering, passive- aggressive shrew at best. She hates her daughter-in-law, loves only one of her sons. The list goes on. The only episodes I enjoy are the ones where she is humiliated ( and there are few of those). Of course if Debra and Ray learned how to lock a door, there'd be no problems. Of course , then there would be no show.
Lol.. I definitely agree with you 💯 concerning Marie and they should lock their door both front and back door.. however.. Doris Roberts will surely be missed
Marie is triggering, Frank is a bully, Raymond would annoy me as a husband, but Debra is controlling and rude. I get that Raymond should support and speak up for her, but there are times when Debra should relax. Like in the episode "The Christmas Picture" when Debra invited her parents to be in the family picture. That was wrong since that was Ray's gift to her. It should have just been the Barones. Now Ray & Debra could have both parents in a family picture for their home, but Debra was wrong for that. I know, it's just a show, but this happens in real families.
@@JodiSmith-c6r They tried locking the doors on the first episode and, Raymond got caught by the hair through the mail slot. As a matter of fact they used that in the intro on the first season. Try to remember ...
It’s a tradition in sitcoms for characters not to lock doors. It allows the neighbours and other family and friends to barge in and catch various characters doing something wrong. Sitcoms are all based on characters being fish out of water at some level and always being judged by the standards of society to their families. I love Lucy mastered the conceit. It was also a conceit used with great skill in Bewitched where Gladys Kravitz would just walk through the front door!!!! It was also used in The Mary Tyler Moore Show where Rhoda was always barging into Mary’s house. In I dream of Jeannie, Dr Bellows was always barging in on Major Nelson and Jeannie or catching him in some bizarre scenario.
Could you even imagine Marie and Frank raising those children? I was raised by grandparents. And as much as I dearly loved them, I wouldn’t recommended it. Especially Frank and Marie.
Meddling mother in laws are my worst nightmare. One of the reasons I haven’t married yet. That whole family dynamic where in laws are too close and don’t understand boundaries or privacy is NOT my thing. But it’s fun to watch the misery of others.
36:00 For context: The reason Marie is so adamant about sending Thank You notes and mentions the crystal candle that Lee and Stan gave them is because that gift was Marie's sugestion and Lee was not a fan of the gift. At the end Lee tells Marie about the lovely note and admits the gift suggestion WAS a great idea. Cut to the most smug smile from Marie you have ever seen.
"Anytime you wanna come over with food, you're more than welcome" Debra opened a can of worms with that statement. She regretted it for the rest of her life.
She feeds her narcissism, her desire to control others. Her ego is boosted, so is her self-centeredness and her desire for attention and of course the great satisfaction she gets putting other people down.
I believe she has, canonically, and that Ally would turn out just like her mother with the man she marries :) "Looks just like her mother! another little megabeast!" to quote Drop Dead Fred ;)
That’s because the character of Marie is meant to be Italian and yet really she’s a typical Jewish nagging and overbearing mother. The whole family and all their friends and relatives across as Jewish to me. Phil Rosenthal just wrote a typical Jewish sitcom. I find nothing Italian at all about Marie. She’s a meddling, Medusean nebbish. Robert also is a typical Jewish looking actor and acted Jewish - the sense of humour and his language and mannerisms were all Jewish. I think Phil Rosenthal should’ve made more effort to write to the Italian sensibility and if he couldn’t do that, could’ve just written them all as broadly Jewish American.
Marie was so right about the thank you notes. Thank you notes seem to be a thing of the past. A lot of the younger generation seems to think that when they do send a thank you message, it can be in the form of an email.
Times change. But did you know what that whole thank you note issue was about? It was about Marie getting stroked because she is the one who said it would be a nice gift and Lee didn’t like it. I don’t think Robert and Amy liked it very much either, but Marie was browbeating them into writing a thank you note so that she would look good in the eyes of Lee. So didn’t really have to do with etiquette.
Those days people didn't like their in laws but still managed to get a long with them and live near them. Now days couples prefer to move hundreds miles away and have no family around
In her own deluded way, the sentiment was sweet. Ik it's a show and just a character, but there are moms like Marie, and a lot of them don't actually understand what they do
How even after all the games Marie has played with Debra, she still put herself in between Robert and Marie after his botched interview. Lol she knew he had violence in his eyes 😅
In this horrible time in the US today, with the horrific world we have turned into, I have to watch this show to laugh and remember a great era. Can we EVER get back to normal ?!?! 😢🤷♀️
I feel like Robert could have saved himself if he said: “I do like to think I have a bit of a sense of humour.” Indicating that the note from his mother is a joke.
16:44 it’s so weird us women know when others are pregnant long before showing. I’d only just skipped a period and my friend went OMG! She knew before me 😂
Marie is normally a character that you would hate in real life but she turned out to be one of the best and most likable characters on the show, that’s because Doris played the part perfectly.
She (Doris) was so perfect for this role. You cannot help but love her even when all she does is ignorantly make trouble But I believe she knew she was great and that's why she did it so well
Marie literally catered to her family, she was an old school, traditional woman, but yes she was unfairly critical of Debra while Ray shamefully stood silent about it, but damn I wish My Mom catered to me took care of me like Marie did with Raymond & Robert, Frank complained a lot but he knew he had a damn good wife, wives need to be like this again, loving & considerate. This is one of my favorite shows of all time, very funny & real💯❤️
@makinapacal yeah I have, no shit, is your comment/question pointless? Yes lol Marie devoted her life to her family if you watched the show you would know that
Ray is candy ass momma boy and Marie is an awful mom who deliberately sabotages the relationship between Robert and Ray with her Divisiveness mistreatment she uses when it comes to Robert and how she pampers Ray. I've seen this type of division in real life!
A perfect portrayal of a mother-in-law who can’t let go! Phenomenal acting by the legendary Doris Roberts, (R.I.P.)!
My ex-sister-in-law gave my mother the full box DVD set.
Did she pass away? 😭😭😭😭

U forget how great this show was. And the actors had such great timing and flow.
This was my all time favorite show! It helped me with my depression when I was in college and my dad was battling cancer. ❤🙏
Definitely NOT a favorite show (probably of most people). And most definitely not THE favorite!!

It's good therapy!

Marie: "Who keeps
pornography for 20 years?"
Frank: "Anyone married to you." 😂😂
Marie We almost got divorced. Frank Almost is the sad word. He was always so funny on this show.❤❤
Marie “ you have to have a witch-hunt “ Frank “ you found one …”
Doris Roberts played her roll of Marie Barone so perfectly and funny 🥰 🧡 (RIP!)
They all were perfect an funny.
@@Asidebar Yes I agree. The whole cast was great, I love them all.
Frank always has Debra's back.
AGREED 💯 I liked that premise of the show....☺️
Debra was like the daughter Frank never had....🤔
Roberts facial expressions are awesome! Great actor!
😂😂😂😂😂😂MARIE IS A MASTER MANIPULATER 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
So is Debra. Ray married a awful woman. I wouldnt continu with that type of girl and would dump her within a week.
A lot of miles on that guilt machine!!
The meatball sabotage is one of my all time favorite comedy bits
Awwww Everyone Loves Raymond is pure comedy genius without a doubt.
"Any time you wanna come over, with food..." :) Marie Barone; one of the greatest villains in Sitcom history! :D
The Lucky Suit episode ! I was in real pain, suffering with “Robert” ! Talk about embarrassing beyond measure ! From a “loving mom” !😢
Marie (Doris) RIP 2016 90YRS OLD ❤❤❤❤❤❤never forgotten🙏🙏🙏🙏

The best scene where she meddles and she is not even in the scene
He was choking
This show helped me in so many ways I can’t count. An unconditional companion whether happy or sad 💕🇨🇦
Thank you for 70 miles of laughs on my drive today.
Even when Peter Boyle was sick, his delivery of Frank Baroness was comedy gold.
Great writing and cast! Never tire of watching this hilarious show!😁
Robert is by far the nicest Barone!!
Ray was also pretty hard on Deborah!!
A gentle giant 😂😍
An exact portrayal of my late mother in law. This is why I love this programme.
She’s my mother !!!
Mine only wanted to help me
Oh my gosh, my mother-in-law too. And then my husband only had one brother and his dad was a lot like Frank. We absolutely love this show!
@@Michelina22 mine too
She looks and acts exactly like my Italian grandmother.. she’s 90 years old right now. I always call her Marie lolll
I've always loved Marie's ensemble. She was always matching from head to toe.😊😊😊
i know it's a comedy show but in real life,i'd never be able to put up with marie
Frank and Marie was funny but in real life Never 😅
My parents are like a toxic,uncomedic version of them
Oh hell no absolutely not...Debra is at fault tho..she should have known what she was marrying into
Charlene, you and me, both!
@@BigBoss-zi5ssRay tried warning her but she didn't know them well enough. She should have listened to him.
Rip Marie❤🙏 she was a great actress❤ loved her❤
Her name is Doris Roberts.
Doris was truly an amazing actor! The love for her family really came through in every scene. ❤
Fun fact about Doris Roberts (Marie) she attended acting classes with Marilyn Monroe.
So did Jane Fonda.
This show is so underrated, golden era of sitcoms. Frank was always my favourite 😂
I love it when Marie says ”You don’t know what you’re talking about, you and your cheap coats“ 49:06 😂😅
The thank you notes bit when Robert and his wife got home from their honeymoon..... my mother in law to a tee.
Oh, you poor thing....... respectively.
She should’ve knew how Mariie was when she was meddling in the pregnancy news 😂😂😂😂😂
Frank was always my favorite character!
“Are the betting windows still open?”😂
I have a Marie as my MIL! I felt Debra's pain all the time dealing with Marie's insanity!
Well tell your MIL to keep her mouth shut. Not her life
I love her and her husband. Honestly I love them all . They’re all great actors. Remind me family
Most meddling mothers:
-Sophia (Golden Girls)
-Sylvia (The Nanny)
-Marie (ELR)
😂😅
peggy Biggs ( Mike & Molly )
Marie holds the crown of meddling mothers.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 Marie is first, then Sophia, followed by Sylvia 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂.
@@csmith2484you all forgot Endora, in Bewitched! She really took the cake!
Sophia is meddling, but she’s no busybody.
😂😂😂😂one of the best TV shows in America
While Marie is the monster I blame a lot on Ray for not defending his wife. He was not a good husband
Good husband? Just a mamas not. Mom mini I believe they call them in Italy!!!
Even as a child I recognised that he was a horrible husband… back then I still believed that people died with their tongue out.
Lol it was a sitcom......dont take it took heart ❤
To
🤣🤣🤣...Debra was also quite terrible
Marie would be happy if she managed to have raymond all to herself ditching everyone else in her life
Do you mean in an unhealthy way?
Yes. It's rather creepy, like Norman Bates creepy...😂
“A man’s best friend is his mother.” - Norman Bates
She’s just like my wife.. unfortunately
4:43-4:44 please tell me someone heard that laugh in the background 😂😂
Here, here.😉👌 I couldn't tell if it was a male audience honking or a walrus making mating calls.🤣🤣🤣🤣

most meddling mother in law marie moments? every episode in the series
Oh Robert dont feel bad! My uncle Bobby raised ne and is now looked at as my father! The best!
Marie Barone was in National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation with Chevy Chase!!! 😲 💯
Yes that's right I had forgotten that. I think she was also in a Tyler Perry movie with Denise Richards though I cannot remember the title.
I wonder what Marie got it from: her criticism, jealousy, and demanding
My guess would be maybe Franks mother was the same with Marie and the cycle continues or maybe she grew up in an abusive, controlling, household.
It comes naturally to some mothers.
She feeds her narcissism, her desire to control others. Her ego is boosted, so is her self-centeredness and her desire for attention and of course the great satisfaction she gets putting other people down.
She is a wonderful actress such joy to watch in she and actor who plays frank make a great team RIP
the switching of the ingredients was despicable, cruel, dishonest and wrong
Everybody is sitting in front of the preacher and crying and the book wasn't even written about them. 😂😅😂 I love that part. Makes me laugh so hard! 🎉
I've always wondered if now in 2024, Deborah has turned into a Marie with her kid in laws
I believe she has, canonically, and that Ally would turn out just like her mother with the man she marries :) "Looks just like her mother! another little megabeast!" to quote Drop Dead Fred ;)
After her own experiences? Nah. Debra would do everything she could to avoid becoming the thing she hated.
I’m sure she has
I think the suicide of one of the twins would have made her too depressed to be like Marie
A reboot would be amazing !!!!

Marie, "I've let Frank's pants out again. It's in God's Hands now."
Loving the alliteration in the title. 😂
I had the best MIL. Our two families blended well
Funny how they walk past the front doors. Go around back of houses to walk inside 🤔
We had a bumpy start but now she’s amazing I couldn’t ask for better and an amazing grandmother ❤
Poor Debra could not even tell Ray that she was pregnant
What idiot would move in across the street from their in-laws?
Debra had "pregnancy brain"
Its a show!!!!
@@TLR1219Thank God! I would have moved to Alasca….or far far away from HER…Diana

I think most of the mother in law are like marie
No lol just no.
Interesting…do you think most of the daughter in laws are like Debra?
What a ridiculous thing to say! 🙄
Two of my ex-boyfriend's mums were definitely like Marie, my mum also often says that my nan reminds her of Marie too
They managed to make a life.
With many different players.
Not a day could go by that one of them would go missing, and the clan would go searching.
In her own words, " the gig of a lifetime".
And I still hate Marie for being the way she is.
