The shark was jumped before "Til Death even began. It was a dumb idea to make Brad Garrett the star of a comedy because, as funny as Garrett was playing a freak on Everybody Loves Raymond, he's not believable as anything but a freak. He can't play a character any normal person can relate to.
In contrast, Kevin James on King of Queens is the everyman, which is why KOQ works and 'Til Death never had a chance in hell of working. 'Til Death was a dumb idea to begin with and is a study in really bad TV. It was a disaster from the get-go. The freaky thing (besides Garrett) is that people got paid for making 'Til Death and, since it made it to sydication, people are still making money for making a really crappy show.
I'm embarassed to say I've seen every episode of 'Til Death. My opinion is an informed one. 'Til Death represents the worst network televison has to offer.

I never thought the first season of Raymond was very good. The middle seasons were the best. If you ever see the episode "Baggage", give it a try. It's the ep that got me hooked on the show!
