Both Seinfeld and Sex and the City are located in New York and play it up. In Seinfeld we see the group of Jerry, George, Kramer, and Elaine going places like a diner on the street corner, the subway, and sky-rise buildings. In Sex and the City we see another foursome of singles: Carrie, Samantha, Charlotte, and Miranda. They attend classy parties, go to their jobs in big New York buildings, and have lunch in an assortment of restaurants in every episode. Both sitcoms take place in New York but we see two very different views of it.
In Everybody Loves Raymond Ray Barone is a comparable to George in his whiny and needy character. Ray is always running to his mom for help with home life, work, or food. George will go to anyone who will listen to him, usually Jerry, to complain about his latest troubles with a woman or some issue he is having at work. Both Ray and George are constantly in need of advice or someone to talk to. However, Everybody Loves Raymond is a show centered around family so Ray turns to his family, but because of Seinfeld's rule of "no hugging no learning" George is left to turn to his friends.

Would you please revise and place the appropriate blog number (#4: Catchy Title) before your title? This way, the blogs will be easy to find when you're sifting through all them at the end of the semester. Thanks.
