Shows just how subjective humour can be. I often catch the last five minutes of it while waiting for the (IMO) superior Will & Grace (at least it was until they "jumped the shark" by having famous guest stars nearly every episode) and the vastly superior Frasier. I don't think JSM has ever so much as raised a smile.
As for Everybody Loves Raymond, it has its moments, but it's a one-trick pony. Whatever the situation, Raymond does the wrong thing (despite the right thing being obvious to a five year old), then his mum interferes and makes it worse. Yeah. OK. Got it.
Anyway, sorry to hijack the thread. I'll be off now. :-)
