Everybody Loves Raymond's Emmy-winning final season makes it official: Debra Barone (Patricia Heaton) is hot! The scenes in which she scandalizes a PTA meeting in a "trampy" outfit ("P.T.& A") and attempts a lingerie-clad seduction of Raymond (Ray Romano) in "The Power of No" are the reason YouTube was invented. This season begins on a giddy, albeit bittersweet note as Frank (Peter Boyle) and Marie (Doris Roberts, honored with another Emmy) announce that they are moving to a New Jersey retirement home 85 minutes away. The surreptitious kitchen celebration between Raymond and Debra and put-upon Robert (Brad Garrett, also an Emmy-winner) and Amy (Monica Horan) is a play-it-again classic. Their joy is inevitably short-lived when Frank and Marie manage to offend and alienate all the other residents and are kicked out. This season produced a mere 16 episodes, but the majority of them are gems, including "Ally's F," in which a failing math grade leads to a tentative mother-daughter connection ("Are all boys stupid?" a lovelorn Ally asks her mother. "Yes," she assures her). In the best Raymond episodes, you laugh until it hurts (in "Sister-in-Law," Raymond, ever the "selfish ass," resists extroverted Amy's attempts to get to know him better) and it hurts until you laugh (in "Boys' Therapy," Raymond, Robert and Frank, unwittingly make personal breakthroughs when they ditch group-therapy sessions for the track). At the heart of the final season is Marie's definition of family: "We stick together, we support each other." In the pitch-perfect finale (watched by a reported 32 million people), all resentments and bickering are forgotten when Raymond, undergoing minor surgery for adenoids, momentarily does not awaken following the operation. This set contains "The Last Laugh," an emotional series retrospective built around the filming of the finale (which had to be delayed when Heaton developed laryngitis), amusing deleted scenes, and rollicking, spontaneous commentaries on eight episodes. The brief blooper reel is hardly worth the trouble, but we do get to see Romano break up Boyle with a Young Frankenstein reference. --Donald Liebenson

 THE END OF ONE OF THE ALL TIME GREATS August 7, 2008
As a whole, season #9 was probably the weakest of all the Raymond seasons but I found fantastic that, for once, we got see one of the all time TV greats leaving with a knock-out-punch-finale, with every character true to their nature in a hilarious way. The first two episodes in season 9 are also rather good but in pretty much the rest of them I felt like the show's writers were trying to extract laughs from the audience as if it was liposuction or something. Perhaps the saddest thing was seeing how fragile Peter Boyle looked at the end but it was great for him to stay until the last episode, I can't imagine how sad it would have been for ELR to have to deal with Frank's passing.
For me it's very simple: 70's: Taxi, 80's Cheers, 90's Raymond. 00's: no idea yet.
 Still the funniest sit-com ever March 28, 2008
We really loved to watch Raymond and his family and were sorry to watch the last season. But all good things have to come to an end. We are sure that we will watch it over and over again and can only recommend all seasons to everyone.
TV COMEDY February 20, 2008
BEST TV SHOW EVER. I WATCHED EVERY EPISODE MORE THAN 10 TIMES AND STILL FIND ALL OF THEM AGELESS AND PRICELESS.
We all love Raymond February 11, 2008
Great! We all love Raymond. We like the commentaries of the writer's too. That really adds to the enjoyment of the episodes.
Very Funny January 19, 2008
I didn't watch Raymond when it was on TV. I do own all nine seasons on DVD. The nineth season is just as funny as all the rest. When you hear someone talk about how funny something is you wonder. I can honestly say Everybody Loves Raymond made me laugh out loud not just smile. It's like Frasier you laugh till it hurts. I do think that short seasons should be put on less discs. I am curious how they are going to market the strike shortened seasons.
