CBS to air 90-minute Everybody Loves Raymond anniversary special

CBS will reunite the surviving cast of Everybody Loves Raymond for a 90-minute anniversary special that will air Monday, November 24 at 8 p.m. Eastern on the network and stream on Paramount. Ray Romano and series creator Phil Rosenthal will lead the program, which will bring together Patricia Heaton, Brad Garrett, Monica Horan, Madylin Sweeten and Sullivan Sweeten for conversations, previously unseen outtakes and tributes to the late Doris Roberts and Peter Boyle.

The special was filmed on a recreated Barone family living room set, the network said, and will include appearances by other cast, crew and special guests who worked on the sitcom. Fulwell Entertainment, the production company behind several recent television reunion and live events, is producing the program. Romano and Rosenthal are among the executive producers, along with Rory Rosegarten, Eddy Yablans, Gabe Turner, Emma Conway and Eric Pankowski.

Everybody Loves Raymond premiered on September 13, 1996, and ran for nine seasons before ending in May 2005. The series won 15 Emmy Awards from 69 nominations, with honors for outstanding comedy and acting awards for Romano, Heaton, Roberts and Garrett among the accolades....
