A 1997 Entertainment Weekly review of the show by Bruce Fretts said that the show “may be the best sitcom on the air.” Common Sense Media’s Betsy Wallace, who awarded the show four out of five stars, wrote: “the cast is stellar and plotlines shed light on universal human insecurities, such as doubting that your spouse still finds you attractive as you grow older.”

However, she warned that the show’s “intimacy issues of married couples — including (in)frequency of sex — often take center stage,” as well as the show’s mild language.

Plugged In said in their review, “Seven years and a mantle full of Emmys later, Raymond is still smartly scripted, now with new characters added to a maturing, expanding family.”

In 2013, Complex ranked the show as 49th of “The 50 Funniest TV Comedies of All Time”, with writer Matt Barone saying that “You’d want to pat Ray on the shoulder and say, “We feel for you, man,” if you weren’t laughing so hard.”

Everybody Loves Raymond stars Ray Romano, Patricia Heaton, Doris Roberts, Peter Boyle, Brad Garrett, and Monica Horan. It originally ran on CBS from September 13, 1996 to May 16, 2005.
