Everybody Hates Raymond was a proposed sequel to the fabulously successful stupid idiots that watch comedies (sitcom) Everybody Loves Raymond, told from the point of view of Raymond ("Sugar Ray") Barone's brother, Robert, who always felt that Sugar Ray was favored over him by his parents, Frank and Marie; by Sugar Ray's wife, Debra, and their children; by his own wife, Amy; and by the rest of New York City and the world.
