\n\tIt\u2019s been nearly 30 years since \u201cEverybody Loves Raymond\u201d premiered on CBS, giving the Eye network a bona fide hit sitcom that helped revive the network\u2019s primetime fortunes. Now, CBS will revisit that time and the enduring legacy of the Ray Romano-fronted show with \u201cEverybody Loves Raymond: 30th Anniversary Special,\u201d set to air on Monday, Nov. 24 at 8 p.m. on CBS (and streaming on Paramount+).<\/p>\n
\n\tRomano, who won a comedy lead actor Emmy for the series, will host the 90-minute special along with series creator Phil Rosenthal. The reunion will take place on a soundstage where the Barone family\u2019s living room was recreated for the event. <\/p>\n
\n\tBesides Romano, who played sportswriter and family man Ray Barone on \u201cEverybody Loves Raymond,\u201d series stars also joining in on the special include Patricia Heaton (Debra), Brad Garrett (Robert), Monica Horan (Amy), Madylin Sweeten (Ally) and Sullivan Sweeten (Michael).<\/p>\n
\n\tFulwell Entertainment, which was behind the special \u201cFriends: The Reunion,\u201d celebrating another landmark 1990s sitcom, is also the producer on \u201cEverybody Loves Raymond: 30th Anniversary Reunion.\u201d<\/p>\n
\n\t\u201cEverybody Loves Raymond\u201d lasted for nine seasons, from September 13, 1996, to May 16, 2005. Created as a showcase for rising stand-up comedian Romano, \u201cEverybody Loves Raymond\u201d wasn\u2019t a hit at first, struggling to get any traction in a Friday time slot. But by spring of its first season, \u201cRaymond\u201d moved to Mondays \u2014 where it soon took off. The comedy remained on Mondays for the rest of its run.<\/p>\n
\n\t\u201cRaymond\u201d landed 15 Emmys (out of 69 nominations) during its run \u2014 including for outstanding comedy in 2002 and 2005. (Romano, Heaton, Garrett and Roberts also won Emmys during the show\u2019s run.) The series also won the comedy ensemble award at the SAG Awards, and picked up the Writers Guild of America award for episodic comedy in 2002.<\/p>\n
\n\tPer the logline for the special, \u201cEverybody Loves Raymond: 30th Anniversary Special\u201d will feature \u201ccandid conversations with castmates Brad Garrett, Patricia Heaton, Monica Horan, Madylin Sweeten and Sullivan Sweeten, as well as never-before-seen outtakes and commentary from the cast on how they became one of America\u2019s most beloved families. The special will also include a moving tribute to Doris Roberts and Peter Boyle, whose unforgettable portrayals of Marie and Frank Barone made them fan favorites and the emotional anchors of the series. Cast, crew and special guests will share heartfelt reflections on how this dynamic duo redefined the roles of interfering mother-in-law and couch-potato dad into lovable pillars of the Barone family.\u201d<\/p>\n
\n\tFulwell Entertainment\u2019s credits also include \u201cThe Kardashians,\u201d \u201cElton John Live: Farewell from Dodger Stadium\u201d and \u201cEncanto at the Hollwood Bowl.\u201d Executive producers include Romano, Rosenthal, Rory Rosegarten, Eddy Yablans, Gabe Turner, Emma Conway and Eric Pankowski for Fulwell Entertainment.<\/p>\n
