Fans often brought up the fact that the Barone kids Ally, Michael and Geoffrey didn't get as much screen time as any of the adult characters and were often not involved in the main plot. Ray Romano and Phil Rosenthal came up with a few reasons as to why the kids didn't feature as much. The show was meant to be geared towards a mature audience that would appreciate dry, crass and sarcastic humor. Having episodes focus more on the children would require them to use more childish and kid friendly humor that would potentially turn the show into a kiddie comedy, which isn't what they wanted. They also wanted to make sure that the kids acted like normal and realistic children, as giving them more screen time would have also required the writers to give the children unrealistic jokes and sarcastic quips for children their age so that the characters could keep a consistent tone in humor with the surrounding adult characters. The final reason was that by having the kids show up sparingly and not constantly, any scenes featuring the kids would feel more sweet and special to the audience.
