Everybody Loves Raymond, commonly known as Raymond, (1996 – 2005) was a long-running CBS sitcom. The show revolved around the family of Ray Barone, a Lynbrook, Long Island native. The show premiered on September 13, 1996 and went off the air after its series finale on May 16, 2005, though old episodes are still rerun in syndication. The series started out miserably in the ratings, but by the second season began to find its audience. By the time the final episode aired in May 2005, it was the highest rated sitcom on television thanks to Friends vacating the position a season earlier. The shows view of a dysfunctional family appealed to audiences, especially older, as the show was a huge hit with over-50's. One of the things that makes Raymond unique is that the writers have kept track of key moments and quirks in the lives of the characters and regularly make reference to them. Debra is forever borrowing Marie's "big spoon"; she frequently reminds Ray of his insensitivity in taping over their wedding video with a football game; he often praises her for her lemon chicken (the first meal she prepared for him in a flashback episode chronicling their first meeting); several times Marie has referred to the Christmas that Raymond enrolled her and Frank in a Fruit-of-the-Month "cult" (a scene in the show's pilot - and premiere - episode). Even wardrobe is reworn; Marie is frequently seen in the same blouses, easily recognized by their vibrant colors and patterns. (In fact, their renaming of Amy's brother seems odd in light of the writers' usual attention to detail.) Just as I Love Lucy provided a legacy of "classic" episodes, Raymond has contributed several that will go down in sitcom history as being among the funniest moments in television. Ray dealing with Debra's PMS mood swings; Marie and Frank attempting to retrieve from Bloomingdale's an inscribed toaster - which they had returned unopened - that Ray had given them as a Christmas gift; Marie's interference with Robert's interview with the FBI after ruining his "lucky suit" - even after repeated viewings, these episodes are freshly funny. And like Lucy, Raymond may be seen seen in perpetual reruns - at present it airs not only in syndication on local broadcast stations but on the cable network, TBS, as well.
