Everybody Loves Raymond: The Complete Eighth Season (2003) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I'm so happy to see "Everybody Loves Raymond" continue its DVD releases with the hilarious eighth season! The thing I love about this season is that it proved that the show still had fire and still had something to say. Rather than growing tired, it continued to give us memorable and hysterical episodes. One of the reasons for this is because the family expanded: at the end of season 7, Robert and Amy married. Now, Amy has to adjust to being the latest Barone. In addition, the permanent addition into the extended family of Amy's hilariously conservative parents and her wacky brother (who all clash perfectly with the Barones we've all come to know and love).
Here is a brief rundown of the episodes you'll find in this package:
1. Fun With Debra-- Debra misses the days when she and Ray used to have "non-sexual fun" together, so she decides it is time for some fun quality-time, and what better place to have it than Ray's favorite place...the golf course??
2. Thank You Notes-- Robert and Amy return from their honeymoon, but the feelings of bliss do not last long as Amy has a confrontation with Marie over the thank-you notes from the wedding, and Debra views this as her opportunity to get Amy on her side and overthrow Marie.
3. Home From School-- When Michael is home from school for several days in a row, Ray tries to use tough love to get him to confess his true reason for wanting to miss class...and of course the rest of the family has their own opinions on what should be done.
4. Misery Loves Company-- Robert and Amy are celebrating three months of marriage...and decide it is an ample opportunity to offer marriage advice to Ray and Debra and Marie and Frank.
5. The Contractor-- Debra hires Ray's friend Gianni to replace the stove in their kitchen, but soon regrets it due to his laziness on the job. Meanwhile, Frank is upset that they picked Gianni for the home repair instead of him.
6. Peter on the Couch-- Amy invites her brother Peter to stay...and then he makes himself at home on the couch. Later, he returns home only to discover that his parents have decided they liked the idea of him being out of the house.
7. Liars-- Debra helps Ray to cover up a little fib he told his mother about why he didn't make a scheduled time with her, but it snowballs as other stuff comes up. All is fine and good, until Marie begins to catch the scent of their trail.
8. The Surprise Party-- When Debra's mother wants to throw her an "English-tea-party" themed surprise party, Ray goes along with the hopes that he won't have to do any of the work. But when Debra catches wind of the plans for a surprise party and requests that Ray make it Chinese-themed, he has to try and convince her mother to change the plans.
9. The Bird-- When the Barones and Macdougalls decide to spend Thanksgiving together, everything seems to be going fine until a bird crashes into the window and Pat decides it's best to put it out of its misery. The end result is a literal reenactment of the First Thanksgiving...the Indian Barones versus the Pilgrim Macdougalls.
10. Jazz Records-- Ray tries to make up the fact that when he was a kid he accidentally destroyed his father's beloved jazz records, only to find out that he might not have been the true culprit.
11. Debra at the Lodge-- Ray gets jealous when Debra takes a job helping Frank at the Lodge...and he becomes enraged when he realizes that the old men have been doing nothing but admiring his wife's physique.
12. Slave-- After accidentally leaving the twins home alone, Ray and Debra are so impressed with how Ally stepped in and helped that they start giving her more reponsibilities around the house, such as cooking and doing laundry...but Marie is concerned that Ally is being turned into a slave.
13. Whose Side Are You On?-- Ray is upset when he realizes that Debra has been making bets with the kids behind his back about the silly things he will do (i.e. "Will Daddy notice Mommy's new haircut?" or "Is Daddy zipped today?") and after he realizes Marie used to do the same thing with them, he tries to reconcile with his father.
14. Lateness-- Frustrated by how Debra always makes them late to social events, Ray leaves her behind when she is not ready on time for an awards dinner they were both looking forward to.
15. Party Dress-- Ray and Debra disagree over whether or not to buy an expensive dress for a fancy birthday party she wants to attend for one of her best friends, especially considering the dress would only be worn once. To make matters worse, the girl's mother throwing the party is none other than Ray's arch-nemesis...Peggy!
16. Security-- After Robert takes a part-time selling home alarm systems and is offered a full-time position, he contemplates leaving the police force. Unsure of what to do, he asks everyone in the family for their advice...with varying results.
17. The Ingrate-- Debra is hurt when Ray receives an honorary doctorate and thanks everyone except her in his acceptance speech. Ray claims it was an accident, but Debra is quick to point out past snubs that were all too deliberate.
18. Crazy Chin-- After Amy's parents point out Robert's strange habit of touching every bite of food to his chin, he goes on the defensive and tries to find out why he does it, with a shocking answer.
19. The Nice Talk-- During Easter weekend, the Barones and Macdougalls decide to work on a puzzle together. After everyone has gone to bed, Ray and Pat stay up working and talking, forming a new bond that makes other family members jealous when they find out about it later.
20. Blabbermouths-- When Ray finds out that Debra has been telling secrets about him to her girlfriends, he decides to get even with his brother and father. Insanity ensues, of course, when husbands and wives altogether find out what has been learned about them.
21. The Model-- Robert is "discovered" by a modeling agency and the family is excited for his new opportunity. When Robert and Ray discover that it was a scam, however, they must come up with a plan to keep the ladies in the dark about all the money Robert lost.
22. The Mentor-- When a young man visits who claims that Frank was his inspiration, Ray and Robert are in a state of disbelief that he could have inspired anyone...especially after the way they feel he raised them.
23. Golf For It-- Feeling guilty about opting to golf instead of helping Marie by building some bookshelves, they decide during their overnight wait in the car for a prime spot on the course that the next day, the stakes would be raised: the loser would get stuck taking care of Marie after Frank was gone.
This set will also include the usual commentary, bloopers and deleted scenes we have seen on the other ELR DVD sets. This will also include some kind of panel discussion. So pick up this set and add it to your DVD collections today!!!
Only one more set to go after this until the entire series has been released! I can't wait! :)

Everybody Loves Raymond: The Series Finale (2005) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)When I heard that the final episode of EVERYBODY LOVES RAYMOND was being released so soon after it originally aired, I kept my fingers crossed that the Producers and those who are responsible for putting out these DVDs learned a lesson from the release of the FRIENDS finale, and would be sure to include the one-hour retrospect which aired immediately before the final show aired.
Unfortunately, this didn't happen. Once again, viewers are given the pilot episode and final episode together on one disc - no retrospect. Why is this? Most dedicated viewers who collect these DVDs already have the first season, which includes the pilot - why include this with the final episode? It makes no sense. And the special that Raymond produced had everything to do with the production and making of the final episode - wouldn't it have made sense to include this one-hour special, which included behind the scene footage showing how this final show finally got made??
I don't know about anyone else, but when I watch the final episode of one of my favorite shows, I like to go back afterwards and relive some of my favorite moments. These one-hour retrospects allow viewers to do this. You can revisit some of your favorite, classic moments, and recall why it is that this was one of your favorite TV shows.
I'm still hoping that when Season 10 of FRIENDS is released, it's "extras" include the one-hour retrospect which aired immediately before the final show, and now I hope that the same thing happens with the release of Season 9 of EVERYBODY LOVES RAYMOND. After all, these specials sum up why these shows are one of our favorites, and wrap up all of out favorite moments in one neat little package - don't they deserve to be watched over & over again, along with the final episode?
I give the DVD 2 stars for the missing retrospect and inclusion of the pilot epsiode, while the episode itself gets 4 stars - which averages out to a 3.

Everybody Loves Raymond: The Complete Seventh Season (2002) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)The seventh season of EVERYBODY LOVES RAYMOND will always hold a special place in my heart because it is the first season I started seeing when the new episodes would air every Monday night on CBS. The first six seasons I saw via re-runs and the DVDs because I didn't get into the show until this season. Therefore, I am particularly excited to see this season being released on DVD. Here is a breakdown of the episodes that will be on this set:
1. The Cult-- Raymond and Robert go to extreme measures to try and solve the feud between Debra and Marie that began at the end of season six.
2. Counseling-- After getting an idea from their friends Linda and Bernie, Debra decides that she and Raymond need some marriage counseling.
3. Homework-- Frustrated by the amount of homework Ally gets (since he's the one stuck helping her with it), he confronts the teacher about it, who invites him to present his case in front of the school board.
4. Pet the Bunny-- As a challenge, Ray decides to write a eulogy for Frank, which helps to reveal a softer side of the tough guy.
5. Who Am I?-- Ray fears that something is wrong with him when he goes out for a night with his friends and tells Debra that something is wrong with him. Debra, who thinks Ray is finally "growing up," is shocked to learn he wants to join his father's lodge.
6. Robert Needs Money-- When Robert says he is strapped for cash, Ray and Debra give him a gift of $1000, only to be shocked to find out later that he is going to use the money for a Las Vegas vacation.
7. The Sigh-- Ray gives full control of their bathroom to Debra to give her more space, but quickly regrets it after teasing ensues from Robert and Frank.
8. The Annoying Kid-- While Debra is thrilled to have met a couple that she and Ray can be friends with, Ray is less than thrilled about their spoiled, annoying 8 year old son.
9. She's the One-- Robert thinks he has finally found "the One" girl, Angela, with whom he might be able to spend the rest of his life. However, trouble ensues when Ray notices her at their table eating a fly that she killed after dinner.
10. Marie's Vision-- Marie gets new glasses and with her better eyesight, she starts noticing and pointing out physical features on her family members that make them extremely sensitive.
11. The Thought That Counts-- Robert gives Ray an idea of what to get Debra for Christmas, but is upset when Ray takes all the credit for it.
12. Grandpa Steals-- Ally is frightened when she watches Frank samples some trail mix in the grocery store, despite the sign that forbids sampling, and yells at the salesman who confronts him to accuse him of stealing from the store.
13. Somebody Hates Raymond-- After his friend Andy lands a job with a famous sports radio talk show host, Ray is shocked to learn that this man does not want him as a guest on his show because he hates him.
14. Just a Formality-- Robert decides that he is finally ready to propose to his on-again-off-again girlfriend Amy, but when he asks her ultra-conservative religious parents for her hand, he is turned down. (A CLASSIC episode!!!!)
15. The Disciplinarian-- Tired of always being labeled as the bad guy with the twins, Debra makes Raymond force the twins the clean their room, and his failure to do so prompts a family discussion of what it means to discipline your children.
16. Sweet Charity-- Debra encourages Ray to do some charity work at the local hospital, but becomes upset when Ray becomes a hit with the patients and starts spending more time at the hospital than at home.
17. Meeting the Parents-- When Amy's parents arrive at her doorstep to talk her out of marrying Robert, they meet Frank and Marie. It's not long before the two sets of parents start disliking each other. (Another classic episode!)
18. The Plan-- When Robert is put in charge of the wedding invitations and consults Ray and Frank for help, they encourage him to do a bad job on purpose so that Amy won't make him do any more to help. Unfortunately, the bad invitation is the one that accidentally gets sent out.
19. Sleepover at Peggy's-- Ray takes Ally to a sleepover at a friend's house and is mortified when the mother Peggy, who is the same troop leader who beat him up in season six's episode "Cookies," pats his behind.
20. Who's Next-- After Marie suggests the idea when an elderly woman down the street passes away, who Marie had chosen for Frank in the event she died first, Ray and Debra pick replacement spouses for each other, but jealousy isn't far behind.
21. The Shower-- Debra throws a bridal shower for Amy, but Marie's interference makes her angry to the point of drinking too much. While waiting for a ride home from Ray, an officer carts her off to jail. Without a driver's liscence, Debra must rely on Marie for help.
22. Baggage-- Ray and Debra end up in a two-week standoff over who should move a suitcase that is sitting in the stairwell, prompting Marie and Frank to offer advice on how to resolve the situation based on their own experiences.
23. The Bachelor Party-- Ray throws a lame bachelor party for Robert, and is prompted by the ladies to throw him another one to make up for it.
24. Robert's Wedding (parts 1 and 2)-- Robert and Amy get married, but as is always typical with the Barone clan, things are never destined to go smoothly...including Marie standing up at the part where the priest says "If anyone can think of any reason why these two should not be joined, speak now or forever hold your peace."
I am thrilled over how consistent they have been with the Raymond releases. I think it's safe to say we'll have the complete series by summer 2007 next year. Buy season 7 and continue to enjoy this classic sitcom that truly serves as a microcosm for the modern American family. You won't regret it, I promise!

Everybody Loves Raymond: The Complete Ninth Season (2004) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Everybody Loves Raymond: Complete Ninth Season marks the end of this excellent television series. Fortunately, we are able to enjoy the series over and over again on DVD. This season somehow kept things as fun and fresh as the first 8 seasons. How the series was able to maintain its excellence for such a long period of time is a testament to the great cast. The interplay between the actors is excellent and it is difficult to remember that these people are really not related. It is also rather sad to watch the final episodes as Peter Boyle's health was waning. In spite of this, he was still great in the show. This season features the following episodes. Ironic that the last two shows were as strong as any in the series. My only complaint is that there are only 16 episodes rather than the typical 22-23. But that is just a desire for more ELR.
Episode 1: The Home: Frank and Marie decide to move.
Episode 2: Not So Fast: Amy puts her personal touch on their new house.
Episode 3: Angry Sex: A fight between Marie and Debra leads to Ray and Debra's night of passion.
Episode 4: P.T. & A.: Trouble at a PTA meeting.
Episode 5: Ally's F: Ray figures out why Ally got an F.
Episode 6: Boys' Therapy: The guys go to therapy, or do they?
Episode 7: Debra's Parents: Debra's divorced parents come for dinner.
Episode 8: A Job for Robert: Marie wants grandkids from Amy and Robert.
Episode 9: A Date for Peter: Trying to hook up Amy's Freaky brother Peter.
Episode 10: Favors: Marie blackmails Debra.
Episode 11: The Faux Pas: An inadvertent insult.
Episode 12: Tasteless Frank: Frank salts Marie's lasagna.
Episode 13: Sister-In-Law: Ray calls Amy a chatterbox and she finds out.
Episode 14: The Power of No: Ray chooses the NBA over Debra.
Episode 15: Pat's Secret: Ray catches Pat secretly smoking.
Episode 16: The Finale: Ray undergoes a routine surgery.
A stellar 5 star season to wrap up a 5 star series.

Everybody Loves Raymond - The Complete First Eight Seasons (2003) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is without a doubt one of the funniest shows on TV. Each character is so distinct and will probably remind you of somebody in your own family. Unlike most sitcoms, which seem to take really unrealistic characters and throw them into unrealistic situations, Raymond works taking a normal situation and exaggerating it to show the humor. I pull these DVDs out whenever I need a laugh. They're well worth the cost.

Everybody Loves Raymond: The Complete Series (2007) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I just got my house and it's great! Most who are interested in this set probably already know each of the 210 episodes by heart, so I'll describe the packaging. It looks so cute on display. The roof lifts up to reveal the nine cases for each season. They look like minis of the individual season cases with sturdy covers that open up like books. They are set in the house at different heights so they are easy to pull out. Inside there is the episode list and photos like with the individual seasons. The discs are in cardboard sleeves that have a photo of one of the 5 main characters with two quotes. I know a lot of people are concerned about the cardboard sleeves scratching the discs. I will admit, they do fit rather tightly in the sleeves, but each sleeve has a paper backing that seems to protect the disc from scratches. I have not noticed scratches on the ones I've pulled out so far but, I haven't played these discs enough yet to really test it.
What I really like about the box set, besides it being so cute, is that it takes up less room than those big, bulky individual season sets. It takes up a little more than six individual seasons worth, so that frees up a lot of space in my cabinet. The discs have the same extras as the individuals seasons, plus you also get a book with the shooting script for "The Finale." The autographs of the writers are facsimiles on the cover. If the discs hold up (I've heard of disc protectors you can snap on called "D-Skins," but I'm not sure they will fit with this setup) and with the reasonable price you can get this for on Amazon right now, I see no reason to keep those bulky individual sets, so up for sale they go!

Everybody Loves Raymond: The Complete Fifth Season (2000) Review

21. Let's Fix Robert - Marie gathers Robert's ex-girlfriends Amy and Stefania and his female police partner, Judy, together so they can dissect his character in an effort to help her better understand why Robert can't commit to a relationship.

22. Say Uncle - When Ray realizes that his kids would rather spend time with their Uncle Robert than with him, he decides to do something about the situation.

23. Separation - Debra gets upset when she finds out that her parents have separated.

24. Frank Paints the House - When Ray and Debra find Frank painting their house, they find out that Marie put him up to the job due to his retirement. But, when Frank paints it a color they don't like, Ray fires him.
25. Ally's Birth - As Ray escorts Ally to a father-daughter dance, he realizes how grown up and independent his daughter has become. As a result, he begins to recall the day, nine years ago, when the Barone clan welcomed her into the family, but not without incident.
