Object Details

Description

Painting of a frog used in the production of an episode of the television series Everybody Loves Raymond. In the episode "She's The One", which aired as episode nine of season seven on November 19, 2002, Robert Barone (portrayed by Brad Garrett) is dating a woman named Angela (Elizabeth Bogush) who has a strange obsession with frogs; she has this painting hanging in her bedroom. The painting depicts a green frog sitting on an abstract brown and yellow background. The painting is framed in a curved wood frame that is painted green, brown, and gold in a dappled pattern.

Everybody Loves Raymond was a popular and critically-acclaimed television series that aired on CBS from 1996 to 2005. The sitcom, created by Philip Rosenthal, was a semi-autobiographical look at the intergenerational Italian-American Barone family of Lynbrook, Long Island, NY. Raymond (Ray Romano), a sports journalist, is married to Debra (Patricia Heaton), homemaker and mother of children Ally, Michael, and Geoffery. Across the street, Raymond’s parents Frank (Peter Boyle) and Marie Barone (Doris Roberts) share a home with Raymond’s brother Robert, a New York City police officer. Each episode of the show mined familial and spousal conflict for relatable humor. In its nine seasons, Everybody Loves Raymond was nominated for 69 Emmy Awards, winning 15, and frequently ranked in the top ten programs on television in the Nielsen ratings.
