Based on the real-life experiences of Ray Romano, Everybody Loves Raymond premiered on September 13, 1996, on CBS. The show was produced by HBO, Worldwide Pants (owned by David Letterman) in association with Where's Lunch?. It originally held the Friday-at-8 time slot, which is traditionally known for its poor ratings. Everybody Loves Raymond was no different. Bill Cosby, Ray's idol, however, saw a promising series and suggested they move the show to a better slot on Monday nights, where it outshone its competition. It continued to hold that time slot until the end of its run. For several years, the series also competed against Ally McBeal, which dominated the ratings. The series finale was broadcast on May 16, 2005, which was its most watched episode at the time, behind M*A*S*H, Cheers, Married... with Children, Seinfeld, Home Improvement, Mad About You, Sex and the City, Frasier and Friends. It was also the next highly-rated series finale before Will & Grace and The King of Queens. Currently, old episodes are still rerun on both cable network TBS and in daily syndication. Raymond is popular among many viewer demographics. In the UK, the final series was broadcast on Channel 4 in 2005, when it was broadcast it was dubbed "Everybody Loves Channel 4" as it is repeated heavily on the channel. Both Channel 4 and Paramount Comedy 1 finished repeating it in March 2007 (Paramount's first airing of the series). Older episodes are repeated week-daily on the two channels during daytime slots.

미국 시트콤을 찾던 중 재밌는 것을 발견했다.

그것은 바로 Everybody Loves Raymond 라는 시트콤

한마디로 기대가 된다. ^^

지금까지 내가 보았던 시트콤들은 욕도 많고

이해하기 어려운 표현을 많이 구사해서

따라하기 힘들었는데

Everybody Loves Raymond는 비교적 쉬운

일상표현들이 많아서 좋다.

시즌9까지 방영되고 마감했으니 프랜즈랑 거의 비슷한

수준으로 방영이 된듯하다.
