The Paley Museum Pays Tribute to Everybody Loves Raymond 

To complement the Paley Center’s exhibit 30 Years of Everybody Loves Raymond: A Behind-the-Scenes Tribute, we’re proud to present this special screening celebrating the series that redefined the family sitcom with heart, humor, and unforgettable moments. 

Premiering on September 13, 1996, Everybody Loves Raymond depicted the everyday lives of an Italian American family living on Long Island in New York. Created and executive produced by Phil Rosenthal and based on the comedy of Ray Romano, episodes featured Ray Barone (Romano) and his wife Debra (Patricia Heaton), their three children, his older brother Robert (Brad Garrett), and overbearing but loving parents Frank and Marie Barone (Peter Boyle and Doris Roberts). Ray often finds himself in hilarious situations where he is caught between his wife and his brother and parents, often pulled in one direction or another as the sides trade spars over everything from a hijacked secret family recipe to a missing cookie tin. The beloved series ran for 210 episodes across nine seasons, ending May 16, 2005, and remains a steadfast and comedic representation of American family life. 

Note: there will be no screenings on August 14, 20, and 23.
