Everybody Loves Raymond

Posted September 20, 2004

Rothe Blog TV Raymond It was the first of an all new fall season on CBS.

Like many shows, I came in on Raymond kind of late in the game. Watching for three years now this is the start of the final season after eight years total. It was a great one.

Marie and Frank are moving, and they “break” it to the kids. The moment every single audience member has been secretly praying for, the celebration that the nightmare of your parents across the street is finally over.

Debra has a moment where she almost messes things up, but Marie grounds her, and nothing like classic style Barone to take the sentimental edge off any touching event. A good lead to what promises to be a final funny season.
