The show revolves around the life of Italian-American Ray Barone, a newspaper sportswriter from Lynbrook, Long Island, who lives with his wife, Debra Barone, their daughter, Ally, and their identical twin sons, Michael and Jeffrey. Ray's parents and jealous self-doubting brother Robert never gave Ray or his family a moment of peace. Ray often finds himself in the middle of someone else's problems and usually ends up being the one blamed, often by Debra and Robert.

Cast

Ray Barone (Ray Romano)

Ray Romano plays the role of Raymond "Ray" Barone. Ray grew up in an unbalanced household where one parent nurtured, sometimes to an extreme, while the other tried to reverse his wife's work. This may have led to him having psychological weaknesses. Raymond hardly ever helps out his wife, Debra, around the house or with the kids, partially due to the fact that he is a sportswriter and is on the road a lot with professional sports teams covering the games. When he is at home on his own, he usually sits on the couch watching television. Ray and Debra are constantly being bothered by Ray's parents, Frank and Marie, who continuously barge into their house uninvited. This leaves him to wonder why he even moved in across the street from them in the first place. But Ray welcomes his father and brother in sometimes to watch the game with him. Ray has a fear of confronting his mother when she does things that annoy him. The psychological hold that his mother has on him annoys Debra. Ray has even sided with his mother against his wife on occasion and is extremely wimpy and weak when it comes to confronting his mother. Ray has little concern for important material. For example, one episode shows Ray taped over their wedding video with Super Bowl XXV.

Debra Barone (Patricia Heaton)

As the wife of Ray Barone, who is usually nagging and picking on him, Debra is a stressed-out, emotional, and moody character. She grew up in Connecticut and was brought up by her loving, caring, and rich parents. Her parents are Warren and Lois Whelan. Warren and Lois have traveled throughout the world since Debra moved away. Debra's parents experienced a lot of marital troubles and received counseling for it, but eventually divorced anyway. Debra also has one older sister named Jennifer, whose lifestyle undergoes radical change when she decides to move to Zaire and become become a nun.

After learning she was pregnant with twins, Debra brought up the issue that she and Ray would need to move in a bigger home, as they would now have three children. Once Ray's parents learned of this, Frank showed the married couple a nice home across the street from two lovely neighbors, who just happened to be Marie and Frank themselves. Ray was terrified at the idea of moving across the street from his parents. Debra was able to convince him to do so, but she soon regretted it.
