From Quiz A Tribute to Peter Boyle

Answer: Everybody Loves Raymond

"Everybody Loves Raymond" (1996) was about a sports writer (Ray Romano) who lived with his family on Long Island in New York trying to make everybody pleased with him, although the fact that his parents (Peter Boyle played his father) lived right across the street made this task difficult. Problems inevitably ensued as his wife (Patricia Heaton) and mother (Doris Roberts) were at each other's necks for the entirety of the show. Peter Boyle's character was Frank Barone, a very blunt character who didn't care what people thought of him. He lived life the way he wanted to and didn't tolerate anyone telling him what to do. This logically made countless conflicts between him and his civilized wife, but it was a key component in making the show what is was-- a successful sitcom. His trademark words on "Everybody Loves Raymond" (1996) were "Holy crap!", and regardless whether the situation was positive or negative, those words always seemed to express Frank's opinions. Peter actually did guest star in one episode of "The King of Queens" (1998) in the episode "Road Rayge" as his "Everybody Loves Raymond" (1996) counterpart Frank Barone.
