* KeepCirculatingTheTapes: "Robert's Wedding" features a scene where Gianni enters the men's bathroom at the church but is uncomfortable about taking a leak since Marie is standing there talking to Robert. Despite Marie telling him to go ahead and pee, Gianni says, "I don't have to go anymore!" and leaves. This scene is strangely absent on the season 7 DVD set, and because of this, Ray's line later in the scene ("Out, ma. You've already got Gianni looking for a fire hydrant") makes no sense.

* BreakupBreakout: Averted, as Romano, Heaton, Garrett, and Roberts have all had continued success since the show ended - a very rare (and perhaps unique) event for a sitcom cast. The only exception is Peter Boyle, who died shortly after the show ended. But even then, he was already an established actor going into the show, so in his case the show is seen as the culmination of his career.
* TheCastShowoff: Patricia Heaton and Brad Garrett have showed off their singing abilities from time to time, Robert even lampshaded this by saying that in chorus he originally was going to be a "basso profundo" (although most school choruses aren't that specific beyond soprano and alto for girls and tenor and bass for boys).

* CreatorBacklash: A minor example: Ray Romano reportedly ''hates'' the title of the show, since he feels the ironic meaning[[note]]It was inspired by his brother Richard telling Ray "I had a day where people were shooting at me, and you're bringing home trophies. Everybody loves Raymond, don't they?", which is paraphrased by Robert in the Pilot[[/note]] is lost and makes the show seem like ItsAllAboutMe.

* WriteWhatYouKnow: A lot of the plotlines came from the writers' real life marital squabbles. One writer's wife even joked that she always wondered if any argument she had with her husband would eventually appear on the show.

* CowboyBebopAtHisComputer: A prevalent piece of misinformation during the show's run was that child actors Madylin, Sullivan and Sawyer Sweeten were relatives of ''Series/FullHouse'' actress Creator/JodieSweetin...never mind that their surnames are spelled differently.

* RealLifeWritesThePlot: According to Website/IMDb, the reason for the recast for Amy's brother was that after his cameo appearance, Reubens was arrested on indecent exposure charges. This caused Ray Romano to object to him being part of the show's cast.

* BannedInChina: "Marie's Sculpture" has never been screened on British TV because the episode involves Marie making a large sculpture of a vulva, much to the rest of the family's disgust (erect male genitalia and exposed female genitalia are no-no's on UK screens). The explicit nature of Marie's abstract artwork and the fact it is on prominent display throughout the show probably called for the decision; it can't have helped that the series aired before the watershed on Comedy Central and ''way'' before the watershed (in the mornings, in fact) on Creator/Channel4. Ironically, US audiences didn't seem to have a problem with it.

King of Queens is not a spin-off of Raymond; Doug's appearances was a result of a crossover


** Kevin James originally played a guest character named Kevin, until he got the spinoff ''Series/TheKingOfQueens'', after which his character on ''Raymond'' was retconned into being Doug Heffernan, just like on ''Queens''.
