On Nov. 24, CBS will air Everybody Loves Raymond: 30th Anniversary Reunion, a 90-minute special celebrating the Emmy-winning comedy series. While reuniting the surviving cast of the show for the first time is great news for fans, its timing is interesting as the special comes 29 years and two months after the multi-camera sitcom starring Ray Romano premiered on CBS Sept. 13, 1996.
Romano, on whose life and comedy Everybody Loves Raymond was partially based, and series creator Phil Rosenthal explained the special’s somewhat odd release date. “That was just rounding off,” Romano said.
