Everybody Loves Raymond: 30th Anniversary Reunion, Monday, November 24, 8/7c, CBS
Brad Garrett, Sawyer Sweeten, Ray Romano, Patricia Heaton, Peter Boyle, Sullivan Sweeten, Doris Roberts, and Madylin Sweeten pose in the Barone family living room for a Christmas moment from the show’s original run between 1996 and 2005.
Madylin Sweeten, Brad Garrett, Monica Horan, Patricia Heaton, Ray Romano, and Sullivan Sweeten reunite in the Barone family living room for the TV special.
Ray Romano poses for a solo photo.
Patricia Heaton also strikes a pose.
As does Brad Garrett.
Ramano and Heaton channel their onscreen roles as Ray and Debra for this sweet portrait.
Things get silly for Garrett and Romano as they channel their Barone brothers energy as Robert and Ray.
That silliness continues in these other paired portraits.
The duo are a comedy match made in heaven…
… no matter how many years have passed.
In other words, their reunion is reason enough to tune in.
Romano poses with series creator Phil Rosenthal.
Rosenthal joins in on the celebration with this group photo.

I loved this show so much. I’ve started at the beginning at least six times and watch all the way through. I’m in season five now. This show got me through the Covid months. Gave me a reason to laugh.

i love love love this show!! This saved my sanity when i was so homesick. Didn’t like Ray at first; the voice, the whining but that was the plot. I gave it a shot, watching their reruns for the first time in college where i felt so far away and disconnected from family. It soon felt like watching your extended family. it’s so true to form, they’re all so genuine you can’t tell they’re acting. so i watched from start to finish 8x plus and i love most that they actually eat on the show very few sitcoms do…makes them come to life. i would eat with them to feel included. i have not found another show as great as this!!! big bang comes really close but they don’t eat their food they just pretend n play with it.

Actually, Kayley Cuoko has said she did eat the food. She would not eat so she could eat the food at work.

So sad for Sawyer Sweeten, but I'm glad his brother is there. Bittersweet reunion. Ray's parents were my favorite

OMG I love this show so much, I watch it everyday! It's hard to pick a favorite episode! I wish I could meet them! But I do want a robe like the one Debra wire and I want a canister wish I could find one! Thanks for making me laugh 😂 hugs and kisses to you all.

I actually received that canister set as a wedding present when I got married in 1966. You can purchase it online. I want to buy one, but it was very expensive now

When the show was still airing in prime time, a rerun of the cheese-in-the-suitcase came on. I called my mom and told her to watch it.
She had never seen the show, and my dad wasn't interested.
She decided to watch it when I told her to trust me. Turns out she was laughing so hard, my dad went into the room to see what was going on, and they were both hooked.
They watched it every week, recorded it when they weren't home to see it, and they quoted episodes ALL THE TIME. We teased my dad about having a crush on Debra!
My dad is gone now, but I will always remember how much my parents loved Everybody Loves Raymond, and the suitcase-cheese episode that started it all for them ❤️.

Favorite episode for me was when Robert's date ate a fly. Nobody believed Raymond. I don't think I'veever laughed that hard in my life. Whoever wrote that it was comedy genius at it's best.

I never get tired of watching this show. No matter how many times you hear the lines you laugh like it's the 1st time. I know all the dialog. I could be understudy for any of them. " You're my wife! You have to love me, no matter what's in my pants "🤣

As a Mother-in-law, I always refer to my advice as my Marie Barone advice! Still watch every chance I get. My fav is Marie’s sculpture episode!

I hate this show. For one thing, I can't stand Ray Romano's voice. For another thing, the few times or snippets I've seen of this show, there was NOTHING pleasant about it. Everyone on the show does nothing but rag at each other and cut each other down. NONE of them were pleasant.people. Ick.

That's why I dislike Social media. Why can't more people have the attitude -. "If you don't have something good to say don't say anything at all" Yes everybody is entitled to their opinion, but why do you have the need to bash something that other people enjoy? As far as "rag each other" Isn't it exactly what you're doing?

well, you for 1. are lousy grouch. 2. you evidently don't know what makes a sitcom. 3. sitcoms are based on comedy, families and daily life. 4.more than half of sitcoms in the world are based on comedy don't know if you knew that. 5. you should write your own sitcom see how many Emmy awards you win. If you have nothing nice to say don't say anything at all.

All of your posts are complaints about shows. Have you considered that you just may not like TV at all? Maybe books are more your deal.

I ve now in 2025 been watching EVERYONE LOVES RAYMOND...none stop, for over a year now...nothing else plays on my tv's. Both tv's are on all day and all night. The world has gone so insane that I am drawn to this sitcom and bring it back to the start when I ve gone thru all seasons. I don't have a favorite character...cause each character makes the program as it should be. It s so sad that the morality today is long gone dark. How I wish we could go back in time.

Couldn't have said it better. I loved King of Queens as well. They dont make good clean comedy shows anymore. The family unit, the way God intended, doesn't exist much anymore in most American homes.

Let's not forget Chris Elliott, Fred Willard, Georgia Engel, Katherine Hammond and Robert Culp

I've seen every single episode at least 100 times and I'll see them 100 more! Pure comedy genius I wish we still had a show around that has the laughs, genuine authentic like we did when this show was on. Clean fun ! I'm looking forward to watching the special!

I for many many years , have watched all episodes of the highly entertaining show . The humour is at its all time best, I love Marie , Ray ,and Robbie, all of the family bring there unique parts , I find them so funny , it beats depression, and sets me up for the day with a huge smile on my face . I love them all dearly , I wish they were my family . I have to record and watch them every day . It’s so intelligently written and put together by the best actors you can find . I must be one of your greatest fans . Love Deborah Oates From Plymouth England xxxxxxxx

Patricia Heaton was ok, but I couldn't stand her when she was on "The Middle!!" Ray Romano made a guest appearance on the middle as a camper who got lost when Mike and Frankie were on their "Camping Honeymoon!"

I actually loved Patricia Heaton more on "The Middle"! She played such a different character than Debra and played it really well. She had to work full time and they were always broke. It was just more realistic. Loved both shows, but definitely love "Everybody Loves Raymond" more!

I absolutely love this show!!! I still watch reruns to this day. I’m excited for their reunion after 30 years. We need more shows like this.

We have been ELR fans for decades. We still quote the show regularly, and while the cheese in the suitcase, the canister, and the records episodes were hilarious, the scene where Debra drops the turkey on the floor repeatedly will always be one of our favorites! Thank you for all of the laughs, tears, and memories, and thank you for what will surely be a funny reunion episode!

I came to the party late on this one; but quickly became a devotee! Back then, it was airing reruns that came on after the news, I was almost always in my kitchen cleaning up the dinner mess and taking care of the dishes with the tv on in the background. And since I was busy, I just let the tv go on to this show following the news, not really paying much attention. Lo and behold it slowly drew me in. And the next thing I knew, it was my favorite show! I told everyone I knew about this show. It was so funny. I continue to this day to catch reruns. It has stood the test of time for me. And that is a rarity, as most shows kind of age out, but not this one. It certainly is not always politically correct, but given the time it was on, I can forgive this indiscretion. Thanks for entertaining me over the years! Yay to CBS for producing this reunion show, and a special shout out to the cast for coming together and making this happen. My only wish is that Doris Roberts, Peter Boyle and Sawyer Sweeten could have a part of this as well. They will certainly be missed on this go around, may they rest in peace.

And by politically correct you mean what? This show was everything but politically. It focused on family struggles and everyday situations. It stayed away from politics and because it did it drew from a wide range of political backgrounds and thats why it aired so long.

Oh I’m so excited!!! Love this show, I’m watching it right now. Can’t to watch the reunion 🎉

Great show Especially love Frank’s character he cracks me up! When it first aired I wasn’t watching my sister was. I would come over her house and see her laughing I couldn’t get into then, probably because I never saw the beginning. Then I read Ray Romano’s book about his family I laughed so hard I watched the seasons 4-6 that’s all three seasons I had at the time watched it over & over not I have peacock and sleep to it every night..I can’t sleep without the TV but just got married and he had to have it dark and quiet to sleep. So I sleep with my breathing machine & headphones lol picture that

I'm going to miss Doris Robert's and Peter Boyle, and of course, Sawyer Sweetin. Why don't they bring Amy's brother Peter back into the pictures and reunion? He was part of the family and the show, even if he wasn't in it all the time. He was just as funny as the others, too. They could even bring in Parker and the "cookie lady" as Ray's enemies. They were funny too.

I have watched all of the episodes soooo many times! I suffer from depression and weirdly when I watch the show, it gives me a familiar "place" to be! My husband loves it too! I have this reunion special on my calendar and I'm looking forward to watching it. I don't know what to expect, but for sure, the cast members that have died, will definitely be missed!! All of them.... Marie, Frank, Amy's parents, Debra's parents...I'm hoping to see Amy's brother, Peter, and all of Ray's friends. It would be fun to see the kid that didn't like Ray... the one who wrote : "Ray Stinks" on his fridge with the magnetic letters.... great show! Can't wait for the reunion!
