The Barones are back!
The stars of “Everybody Loves Raymond,” which racked up 15 Emmy Awards during the show's nine-season run on CBS, gathered once more to mark the upcoming 30th anniversary of the sitcom’s premiere.
The series, inspired by the stand-up routine of lead Ray Romano, debuted on Sept. 13, 1996. It centered on sportswriter Ray Barone (Romano), his nonsense-intolerant wife Debra (Patricia Heaton) and their three young children (played by real-life siblings Madylin, Sawyer and Sullivan Sweeten), who live across the street from Ray’s parents (Doris Roberts and Peter Boyle) and brother (Brad Garrett).
In the 90-minute “Everybody Loves Raymond: 30th Anniversary Reunion” that aired Nov. 24 (streaming now on Paramount+), the stars regaled fans with their favorite episodes, shared stories from auditions, and honored those on the cast who have died.
