Ray Barone is a successful sports writer and family man who deals with a brother and parents -- who happen to live across the street. Mom Marie loves to meddle in his life, while older brother Robert sometimes resents his success, and Dad Frank just makes comments and raids the fridge. Nevertheless, Ray manages to keep a bright outlook and a sense of humor, leaving the hard issues to his more-practical wife, Debra.

Robert and Amy find that living with Marie and Frank has a definite downside.

Robert, Amy, Marie and Frank adjust to their new living situation.

Frank mistakenly passes out Ray's colorfully wrapped "chocolate coins."

Ray discovers that Debra becomes more passionate when she argues with Marie, so he concocts a series of lies in an attempt to boost his love life.
