帰国してから10年が経ち、英語力の低下がどうにも止まらない。
そこで初心に帰り、当時大好きだったテレビを見ようと探したのがこの番組。
日本のAmazonでは結構な値段がしていて、二の足を踏んでいた所、たまたま
Amazon UKであればリージョンコードが同じで、米国より安くDVDを買う事が出来る事が有る。
との書き込みを見て早速検索。
有ったぜっ！しかも価格は全9シリーズが揃って￡35,89送料込。って安くね？
約6,400円よ。DVD44枚入り全２１0話。
発注から10日で無事届きました。
主人公のレイモンドは、妻デブラと3人の子供の5人家族でニューヨークに住んでいる。
彼らの家の前には道路を隔てて、強烈な個性のレイモンドの両親と兄の3人も住んでいて
毎日レイモンドの家に来てはトラブルを起こす訳よ。
恐妻家のレイモンドは、嫁姑の間に挟まれ日々悪戦苦闘。
少々オーバーでは有るが、多くの問題が日常に有りそうな事で共感が持てる。
いわゆるドタバタコメディーでは無く、会話の”間”で有ったり人間関係だったりがとにかく
面白い。全話を見た訳では無いし会話の半分も理解出来ないけど腹を抱えて笑える
シーンがメチャクチャ有ります。
もし、米国コメディーをトライしてみたい方には、私はフレンズよりもこっちを断然
お勧めします！
まぁ、Youtubeでも結構公開されてますので興味のある人は是非見てみて！
When I was living in Toronto, every day, I
was watching US comedy show “Everybody loves Raymond”.
From back to Japan, 10 years have been gone and
I cannot stop losing my English skill day by day.
So I remember original intention and I’ve tried
to find this TV show for watching which I love.
I've found this in Japanese Amazon but it was
expensive so I was wavering to buy but unexpectedly, I’ve found a comment that we can
buy same region codes DVD in Amazon UK and we have chance to buy the price
cheaper than in USA.
Soon after, I started to seek it and I
could find it!
You know it’s true! The price is GBP35.89 including
postage for all 9 series.
It’s cheap, right?
It is about JPY6,400, 44 DVD and 210 stories!
After placing, it was arrived safely to my
hand in 10 days.
Main person Raymond is living in New York
with 3 kids and his wife Debra.
His parents and big brother who have strong
personality are living across a street from his house and everyday they are
coming to Ray’s house and make troubles.
Henpecked husband Raymond is always gotten into
the trouble between his wife and Mom.
It is little bit over reaction but most of
troubles that we also have possibility to have same kind of situation in our
life so I can sympathy the stories.
This is not slapstick.
Human relations and their talking ways are so
funny.
I haven’t watched all stories yet and I
cannot understand over half what they are talking but there are so many scenes
which I can laugh a lot.
If you want to try US comedy, I really recommend
this rather than “Friends”.
And if you have been interested in this,
you can find this in Youtube too so try it.
