Everybody Loves Raymond received’t be becoming a member of the onslaught of reboots, with Ray Romano saying its legacy is okay the place it’s.
Reboots of beloved reveals from many years previous will be simple methods to entice viewers via nostalgia. Some can break off and begin to really feel like their very own entity (as with Frasier), whereas others are simply cheapo money grabs that convey nothing recent to the unique premise (as with The Odd Couple, to call one in all 100). But Ray Romano received’t even trouble looking for out how a reboot of Everybody Loves Raymond would fare with audiences, saying it’s completely “out of the question.”
As for why Romano is shutting down even the concept of an Everybody Loves Raymond reboot, he has loads of causes, beginning with the easy level that “they’re never as good…and we want to leave with our legacy as what it is.” There, too, can be two key forged members lacking: Peter Boyle, who handed away in 2006 only one 12 months after the sitcom went off the air, and Doris Roberts, who died in April 2016. Boyle and Roberts performed Frank and Marie Barone, dad and mom to Romano’s Ray. Of course, one other go at Everybody Loves Raymond is doable with out Frank and Marie, as Frasier demonstrated that the lack of a mum or dad will be dealt with successfully, because it was with the passing of John Mahoney, who performed Crane’s father Martin.
Regardless, a reprisal of Everybody Loves Raymond would undoubtedly be a draw for audiences (hey, maybe even Martin Scorsese would tune in now!). After all, the present ran 210 episodes over the course of 9 seasons, making it one of many longest-running of any sitcom starring a humorist, forward of The Cosby Show and Seinfeld and never that far behind Roseanne.
There’s undoubtedly one thing to be admired in Romano’s insistence that Everybody Loves Raymond by no means be revisited. But it’s not all that shocking, contemplating he knew when to name it quits on the unique present. As he additionally famous on Real Time with Bill Maher, “The rest of the cast wanted it to go on…but myself and [show runner] Phil Rosenthal, we thought it was time.”
