- Ray Barone (Ray Romano) is a sports columnist for New York Newsday living in Long Island with his wife Debra (Patricia Heaton) and his daughter Ally (Madylin Sweeten) and twin toddler sons Matthew and Gregory (Drew, Justin, and Amber Ferreira). His parents Frank (Peter Boyle) and Rose “Marie” (Doris Roberts) and brother Robert (Brad Garrett) live across the street. Debra’s birthday is coming up and she would prefer to spend it alone with her family and not with Ray’s parents, whom she sees as intrusive. This feeling is further solidified when she finds out that while she was at the movies with a friend, Ray left the babysitting duties with his family while he went out for pizza with his friend Leo (Stephen Lee). Instead of telling him parents the truth, he tells them that he is taking Debra to Bear Mountain. When they come over to the house when Ray and Debra are supposed to be gone, Ray is forced to tell them that they need to be less invasive. His parents claim to understand, although Robert, who is often jealous of Ray, seems to be a bit hurt. Ray and Debra’s time alone is ultimately interrupted by Ally. 2/27/14 Read the rest of this entry »
