Sure, the family seems dysfunctional on TV, but behind the scenes at the sitcom Everybody Loves Raymond, things are really dysfunctional. Brad Garrett, far left, who plays Raymond's sad-sack brother Robert, isn't happy about his reported $160,000-an-episode salary, and he hasn't shown up for work since the show started filming its upcoming season last week. The producers had to write him out of the first episode. The show's star, Ray Romano, left, who makes $1.8 million per half-hour of TV time, has said, "I want everybody to get what they deserve...
