Synopsis
A surprise hit when it first aired in 1996, Everybody Loves Raymond has found its legs as one of television's most enduring and entertaining sitcoms. Comedian Ray Romano developed the series around his successful standup routines where he lampooned the married life of the everyman. The comedian stars as an altered version of himself, Ray Barone, a Long Island sportswriter who has the wife of his dreams, Debra (Patricia Heaton). Unfortunately, their life of bliss is constantly being interrupted by Ray's bickering parents, Frank (Peter Boyle) and Marie (Doris Roberts), as well as his dopey brother Robert (Brad Garrett), who all live close by. This 5-volume box set includes every episode from the series' debut season, which explores issues of family dynamics with a constant injection of hilarity.

Customer Reviews

Laugh 'til you head falls off!
I've never been a fan of US sitcoms, Friends, Frasier, Seinfeld, Cheers, etc until, that is, I found ELR. Early morning UK TV introduced me to the Barones and after watching a few episodes I was completely hooked. It has caused me to rave to those who will listen and they too have been converted. By far the funniest sitcom to reach our shores from the US. It makes me laugh out loud, something that rarely happens and that alone determines the depth of what it does to me. Every character has a strong yet independant role and the storylines are so close to home it's uncanny. Trust me, watch and behold. I guarantee you'll be readily converted too!

puts me in a good mood
stumbled across "everybody loves raymond" while i was chanel hopping, it,s now become one of my favourite sitcoms, it makes me laugh outloud and smile alot. you really feel like your part of the family and can relate with certain situations.....this sitcom really is must see i just love it.

ELR (All Series)
Once you know the characters each episode is a joy to watch.You can't fail to smile thru each storyline.The main cast are superb -as are all the additional extras.Script is really funny(excellent scriptwriters)and subjects covered are true to life and you can identity with human traits in storylines.
If you dont smile or laugh out loud when viewing either you've got sound muted OR your a miserable git with not an ounce of humour in you!
"Frank"no longer with us ,but never to be forgotten for his wonderful contribution to this comedy series.
No longer in production,but this was a gem of sitcom comedy.
