    I'm sorry but this is new how again?

    Everybody Loves Raymond? When he's a doormat. Bumbling stupid clueless husband/father guy? Wow never saw that before. I think Rebecca needs to pull herself away from watching 'serious' HBO 'drama' 60/60/24/7/365 exclusively 100% of the time.

    For those of us who have been paying attention, there haven't been any positive male roles on TV for years and years. Even the 'heroes' are emotional basket cases that need their more evolved women leaders to gently yet firmly guide them with a scolding cluck through life.
