Everybody Loves Raymond Trivia:

In the pilot episode, baby "Michael Barone" was named "Matthew". Somewhere down the road it mysteriously became "Michael".

Ray Ramano (jokingly?) says that Patricia Heaton was cast to play his wife on the show because she was the only one who would kiss him during auditions.

In episode #53, "Halloween Candy", Frank Barone wears a Frankenstein's Monster costume. He also starred in the 1974 Mel Brook's movie, "Young Frankenstein" as the Frankenstein Monster.

Katherine Helmond's character (Debra's mother) on the show lives in Connecticut. Her characters on "Soap" and "Who's The Boss?" also lived in Connecticut.

Acting was not Ray Romano's first choice for a career. His first choice was to be an accountant! His 2001 salary of $19 Million would have been hard to beat as an accountant!

Ray Barone's brother is a police Sergeant on the show. Ray Romano's brother in real life is also a police Sergeant on the NYPD!

Patricia Heaton was very active as a High School student. She sang in the choir, was a member of the stage band and performed with the Rockettes Drill Team with the Bay Rockets' Marching Band! Today, she is the Honorary Chair of Feminists for Life organization. They are a group which opposes all forms of cruelty towards women including child abuse, domestic violence and abortion.

Brad Garrett was the first ever $100,000 grand prize winner for comedy on "Star Search". Because of that, at age 23, he became one of the youngest comedians to perform on the "Tonight Show With Johnny Carson". He told a joke that he was urged not to tell on the show and was never invited back. Not that it hurt too bad. He became a very busy performer on the strip in Las Vegas shortly thereafter. Not bad for a guy who was once a waiter at TGI Fridays!

Doris Roberts lives in a home formerly owned by James Dean. When she was just a young girl, her father abandoned her and her mother, Ann Meltzer. To this date, Doris won't tell anyone who her father is.

Believe it or not, Peter Boyle was a Monk in the Christian Brothers Order before he became an actor! His wife (Loraine) was a reporter for "Rolling Stone Magazine" when he met her via "Yoko Ono", the wife of Beatle, "John Lennon" who then was the best man at Peter and Loraine's wedding!

Opening Narrative:

[Ray Romano's Voice]
"Hi!, I'm Ray and I live here in Long Island with my wife Deborah. She's great with the kids, the house, everything. Oh, I don't know how she does it. We've got a daughter, Ally and twin two-year-old boys. It's not really about the kids. My parents live across the street. Thaaat's right. And my brother lives with them. Now, not every family would go by on a conveyor belt for you (as the family goes by on a conveyer belt) but mine would because" ...

[Brad Garrett's Voice]
"E-e-e-verybody Loves Raymond."

[Ray Romano's Voice]
"Yeah, Yeah, Yeah."
