Everybody loves Raymond

While watching an episode of Everybody Loves Raymond, I noticed something about the scenes in the episodes that I have never realized before. Most episodes take place within Ray and Debra's home or Ray's parent's house. However, Ray is constantly seen coming or going to work or a game. Debra on the other hand is hardly ever coming or going from the house to do anything other than chores for the family or house. The creators want to make it evident that Ray is out in the workplace regardless of the fact that we always see him at home. Debra on the other hand has hardly any life outside the kids and Ray. She is either going or coming from the grocery store or a P.T.A. meeting for the children. Her life revolves around the children and Ray. Ray has a life outside the house that we are aware of, but Debra does not. Her place in the show to the home.
