Everybody Loves Raymond - The Complete Series
Movie description
Ray Barone (Ray Romano) enjoys a successful career as a sportswriter and has a stable, happy family life with a loving wife and three great kids. Unfortunately for Ray, he can't shake the attention of his overbearing parents, who live across the street but spend so much time at the Barone family residence that they might as well live there. Ray's parents love to meddle in his affairs, often with hilarious consequences. Meanwhile, his loser brother, Robert (Brad Garrett), also likes to drop by Ray's place to complain about his life, a habit that exasperates everyone else in the beleaguered family. A hugely popular sitcom from CBS, EVERYBODY LOVES RAYMOND began in 1996, and the ratings soon soared, placing the show among the Top 10 most-watched shows in the country. This release collects all nine seasons of the show.

All 210 episodes of Barone glory in one place! Can you resist?
Probably not, if you're even visiting this page in the first place. As a widespread array of popular television shows are planning to release their final season DVD sets by the end of 2007 ("Full House," "Gilmore Girls," and "Everybody Loves Raymond," to name a few), they have all taken a similar path by releasing deluxe full-series collections at the same time. That, right there, is a currently growing trend that you can expect to find with every future television show that is being manufactured on DVD. When popular shows like this one reach the point where their final season is ready for release, the DVD companies must do something to keep their profits rolling. In order to reel in even the consumers who have already purchased the previous seasons, there is only one thing left to do: design some super-fancy packaging, promise a few little surprise bonuses that do not come with the original DVD's, produce a "Complete Series" set, and slap a $200 list price on it. After all, there is a slew of dedicated "Raymond" fans in the world, and for many of them, something like this is difficult to pass up.
