Does anyone here watch this show?
I'm not really a fan of any of these guys, never watched "Everybody Loves Raymond".
I gotta say, that I enjoy this dramedy tons. The writing is effective, but not flashy.
They have a nice mix of one off and continuing plot lines for all three leads.
The acting is solid and the self deprecating humor is right on target.

I don't think TNT is doing a good job of marketing the new season though.
I only found out the night before the season premiere via an online article.
December is usually not a good time to be running season debuts.
It's refreshing to watch a show where every day plots generate solid drama and laughs.

Check it out, they could use the ratings boost.

Think I'm gonna pass -- That picture seems like the punchline to a really bad joke.  Lemme guess, Scott's diving back into the role of a risk taking Gay man.  Ray's the strait man who's been dealt a bad hand in life with past marriages.  He might even have a kid or two he wishes he could see more often. And the black guy from the Myst is the glue that binds the odd trio together with his distant, unorthodox philosophies of life, love and happiness.  The wise goat of the bunch.

Could be wrong, but that's how that picture has portrayed itself to me.

Ha ha! Ok, perhaps I didn't choose the best picture to represent the show.
Your portrayal of the picture is eerily accurate.
Scott Bakula looks MEGA GHEY in that shot, I must admit in hindsight.

As to the show, you do hit some targets with your gesticulation.
Ray Romano is recently divorced with kids.
He struggles with a gambling addiction while trying to keep his business afloat.
He aspires to join the Senior PGA tour.

Andre Braugher is happily married with an ex L.A. Lakers player overbearing father.
He recently took over the family business and struggles to get out of dad's shadow.

Scott Bakula kinda plays like a watered down Hank Moody from "Californication."
However, Bakula is single and fairly aimless after a so so movie/T.V. career in the 90s.
He drifts in and out of situations with little ties to anything long lasting.

Jeez, that is a terrible picture. Heh.
The show is much better than it sounds, much like "Terriers".
But the latter show already got canceled. I hope this one fares better.
