Much of the cast, including Ray Romano, Brad Garrett, Patricia Heaton and more are reuniting for a one-night-only, 90-minute reunion special November 24
It has been almost 30 years since the world was introduced to Raymond Barone, and 20 since viewers bid farewell to him and the rest of the Everybody Loves Raymond cast.
The beloved CBS live-studio sitcom about the sports reporter and his dysfunctional family premiered in 1996, and ran for 210 episodes, which, over the COVID-19 pandemic, its lead star Ray Romano binged, and was inspired to get the gang back together.
And though he and creator Phil Rosenthal are adamant about "never" doing a reboot — "First of all, we can't because, sadly, we're missing some people. So it would never be the same. Secondly, I think Ray and I agree that they're not really ever as good." — the latter told Variety, they are eager about still honoring the show.
