Not really. I think the show is generally funny (though I'm not a huge fan), and I don't really see the same blatant stereotypes in it. Plus, stereotypes in the name of comedy aren't as annoying to me as stereotypes in advertising.

--P--
I can see your point, but I think the way we do comedy shows us how we think of life.
Maybe I'm biased because I know quite a few people who love Raymond because their image of men and women are almost exactly what is protrayed in the show. (They have said so)
Oh yeah, boner jams '03. That's like a compilation of all these scenes I was really into during the summer of 2003.
What's this? Oh, Everybody Loves Raymond. I don't know what that's doing in there. That's just a good show.
I'm sure I will be hated by the female gender for saying this, but I tell my hubby NOT to get my jewelry. I have my engagement ring and wedding band and that is the only bling I need. I have a few necklaces and earrings that I have purchased over the years (cheap ones from Hawaii, Rome, etc.) but I'm really not a jewelry person. So, yes, I hate the Jared commercials.....and all other jewelry store commercials. They all bug me. My birthday gift this year: another trip to spring training in FL!

Me too - I've never wanted jewelry. Waste of money. If someone wants to spend thousands of dollars on me I can give them a ton of better ways to do it.

I'm not into bling, bling, but I do like nice, inexpensive pieces of jewelry. The things hubby gives me are more sentimental than expensive. He's given me a cat necklace w/ diamond chips for the eyes, an irish claddagh(sp) cross w/a small emerald heart in the center, small emerald earrings and a small emerald necklace. Think we celebrate St. Patrick's Day
