You’ve got to be pretty cocky to assume that everybody loves you, and even cockier to make that the name of your sitcom. It begs the question that has plagued philosophers and lazy headlines for years: does everyone, in fact, love Ray Romano?

“Please take him off the air! His show is the worst piece of garbage ever. Everyone else on the show is funny except him... though he was good as the wooly mammoth in Ice Age.”
—Anna Coutts

“Oh yeah, he was the mammoth! I was undecided, but his role in Ice Age is enough to put Ray into the cool category.”
—Mark Polishuk

“Undecided. I don’t really watch his show, but I do enjoy his stand-up.”
—Allison Buchan-Terrell

“I think I’ve seen half an episode of his show, so I’m not qualified to answer. Oh wait, can I be judgmental since Welcome to Mooseport looked like shit?”
—David Lee

“Ray Romano is like an older Zach Braff, and since I love Zach Braff, I like Raymond.”
—Dallas Curow

“I fucking hate Ray Romano. If I saw him on the street, I’d punch him. I hate that show; he treats his wife like shit and she’s so hot!”
—Aaron Lynett

“I think I discovered Raymond back when it wasn’t popular, and I enjoyed it. Then it became all about Robert and it became very popular, and I suddenly hated it. So now I think Raymond is a sellout.”
—Matt Larkin

“Not cool. Let me think of a reason... oh yeah, he’s fucking annoying.”
—Mike Dewar

“I’m just so indifferent toward him. I saw an episode last night and it was pretty funny, so I’ll say he’s cool. It was the one where they’re putting the kids into preschool and... (spends next five minutes describing the plot)... he just hates his kids so much!”
—Ian Van Den Hurk

“A dimwitted sportswriter who’s always getting in trouble with his wife? I can relate.”
—Ian Denomme

“‘Oh, I’m a typical chauvinist male sitcom character, I’m so funny, ha ha!’ Second of all, I hate his voice. If he’s faking it, it’s the dumbest voice ever. If he actually talks like that, that’s sad.”
—Dave Picard

“Cool. He has the coolest nasal voice.”
—Tie Um

“He’s annoying and he makes marriage look depressing.”
—Kate Daley

NOT COOL: 12
COOL: 9
UNDECIDED: 2
