What Season 9 of Everybody Loves Raymond

Frank and Marie announce that they are moving to a retirement community in New Jersey, and the rest of the family receives the news with joy. Ray and Debra later discover that the neighbors in the complex have filed complaints that force them to leave. Daily life keeps bringing clashes: Ray almost always responds with irony, while Debra carries the housework and the kids' load and loses her patience. Ally's poor grades, Debra's fashion sense and Marie's preferential treatment of Robert fuel new arguments. The whole family gets involved in every problem, and the humor comes from the friction between parents, siblings, sisters-in-law and neighbors.
