Editorial Review:
Amazon.com:
"Hi, I'm Ray and I live here in Long Island with my wife, Debra." Thus Ray (Ray Romano) introduces himself in the opening to each episode of his Emmy-winning comedy series. He proceeds to mention their children (Ally, Michael, and Geoffrey), then notes as an aside, "It's not really about the kids." He's right--it isn't. They don't even appear in each episode. Everybody Loves Raymond looks like any other family sitcom, but isn't. Everything is just a little bit better. Sure, it isn't as clever as Seinfeld (on which Romano and Brad Garrett appeared in their early days) or as sophisticated as Frasier; nor is it trying to be. The real subject of the show is Ray's relationship with Debra (Patricia Heaton), parents Frank and Marie (Doris Roberts and Peter Boyle), and brother Robert (Garrett).
Everybody Loves Raymond trains a microscope on the day-to-day ephemera of Ray's life. And since he's a sportswriter, a number of sports stars made guest appearances during the first season, including Kareem Abdul-Jabbar ("Frank, the Writer") and Terry Bradshaw ("Debra's Sick"), but this will happen less often in the years to come.
On the surface, Ray has an ideal life, but he's always trying to please everyone; and someone inevitably feels left out. Sometimes it's Debra, sometimes Frank and Marie, sometimes Robert, and sometimes his buddies (including King of Queens star Kevin James). Then there are his in-laws (Katherine Helmond and Robert Culp). If this were a different kind of show, Ray would have a breakdown at the end of each episode, but instead he finds a solution to each problem--and it usually comes from Debra. In short order, Everybody Loves Raymond became a top-rated program, with several cast members winning Emmys--numerous times in the case of small-screen scene-stealer Doris Roberts. -- Kathleen C. Fennessy

If you are an Everybody Loves Raymond fan, you will love Season 1 and going back to where it all began. His humor and those of the other actors in the series is hilarious. I would recommend buying the whole set of each season. It is always good for a laugh!

I love the shows contained on this DVD. The plastic case was broken when I received it. The DVDs themselves were OK and it was too much hassle to call in and return, so I just taped the case back together. Two days after I received this, I discovered that Walmart sells the same DVD, plus the complete 2nd season of Everybody Loves Raymond, for the same price as I paid for just Season 1 at Amazon. Not feeling that great about my purchase here.

Raymond rocks with his wacky and hilarious family, it will have you peeing in your pants. Check out this sitcom gem! This was the last and the funniest sitcoms of the new years, far better than these unfunny sitcoms of the day. Also check out Becker season 1,2,and 3.

I ordered this season with two others for a Christmas present. I did not get this ordered until the Sunday before Christmas. I was promised this to be delivered by December 24. To my amazement it was in my mailbox the next morning (Monday) after I submitted my order. That is what I call going above and beyond and it just totally made my week.
Now for the DVD's...they were great. The price was great, the quality was great... I was leary of ordering something I could not see with ... Read More

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.
