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.

Debra thinks Ray's midlife crisis has gone too far when he starts planning his burial; Frank sells Marie's burial plot for a profit.

Frank and Marie hold a yard sale that has Debra and Ray thinking different things about enlarging their family.

Ray recalls proposing to Debra and the elaborate plans for their wedding.
