Unfortunately the Russian episodes aren't very good

So much is lost in the delivery, nuances in dialogue etc.

Plus, they ended baggage with some tacked-on to-be-continued storyline of their own, about the brother meeting some girl and her father in a bar or something.

I thought they were pretty funny, especially the actor playing the Russian version of Frank. I even thought the 'Saved by the bell' production values were kind of charming.

Russian Version of Frank is amazing.

for me he is the closest to the American version

Well, the American episodes sucked royally, so no surprise there.

One of the very worst comedy shows ever (that somehow had decent ratings), does not make for a good Russian TV show.

You obviously don't know what you're talking about. Raymond is a very funny sitcom featuring actors who've been in the comedy game for decades, and successfully. So they must know what they're doing. And if you find the show so unfunny, why are you even interested in a documentary about the making of a Russian version of the show? I get the feeling you are of Russian descent and felt slighted.
