 Editor's Note
 Ray Barone (Ray Romano) enjoys a successful career as a sportswriter and has a stable, happy family life with a loving wife and three great kids. Unfortunately for Ray, he can't shake the attention of his overbearing parents, who live across the street but spend so much time at the Barone family residence that they might as well live there. Ray's parents love to meddle in his affairs, often with hilarious consequences. Meanwhile, his loser brother, Robert (Brad Garrett), also likes to drop by Ray's place to complain about his life, a habit that exasperates everyone else in the beleaguered family. A hugely popular sitcom from CBS, EVERYBODY LOVES RAYMOND began in 1996, and the ratings soon soared, placing the show among the Top 10 most-watched shows in the country. This release collects all nine seasons of the show.

| | Professional Reviews | The Movie Hamlet 9 of 10 One of the best-loved sitcoms of its time, Everybody Loves Raymond successfully avoided the schmaltz that seems to be obligatory whenever a family with small children is depicted on a TV show. The kids were rarely seen around the household; the stories were almost always about the adults. Ray and Debra lived next-door to his parents and couldn't do anything without them interfering. Mom Marie had a wicked habit of pointing out to Debra her flaws as a housewife and making it look like friendly advice. She always favored Ray to the annoyed amazement of his brother (Garrett), who usually would end up in situations where he was forced to live with the parents. Surprisingly funny, this show featured stellar performances by Garrett and Roberts in particular. - Stefan Hedmark
