This is a list of episodes for the fifth season of Everybody Loves Raymond .
Everybody Loves Raymond's fifth season tied with Friends and Monday Night Football for the fifth most-viewed program of the 2000–01 television season, [1] far higher that the previous year's #13 ranking for the 1999–2000 season; this was an incredibly unusual boost for an established show, with Marc Berman of Mediaweek stating that "I don't think I've seen such an improvement since Cheers ." [2] The season premiere garnered 22 million viewers, which was a record for the show. [2] Rosenthal attributed the sudden increase in viewership to Survivor giving attention to Raymond's summer re-airings and Heaton's win of Outstanding Lead Actress in a Comedy Series at the 52nd Primetime Emmy Awards. [2] Some of the season's episodes beat Monday Night Football airings in viewership. [2] From November 2001 to the next month, viewership for the series grew 20%. [3]
However, the season also received coverage for having zero female or minority directors involved, due to a January 2002 Directors Guild of America study showing an extreme amount of white males directing major network drama and comedy series (663 of 826 episodes). [4]
The fifth season on Everybody Loves Raymond won three Primetime Emmy Awards. Heaton won Outstanding Lead Actress in a Comedy Series for a second year in a row, [5] and Roberts received Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Comedy Series. [6] Brentley Walton, Doug Gray, Anthony Constantini, and Rick Himot won Outstanding Multi-Camera Sound Mixing for a Series or a Special for their work on "Italy," [7] an episode that also gave nominations to Mike Berlin and Alessio Gelsini Torresi for Outstanding Cinematography for a Multi-Camera Series and Patricia Barnett for Outstanding Multi-Camera Picture Editing for a Comedy Series. [8] The fifth season's other Emmy nominations included Outstanding Comedy Series, [9] Outstanding Lead Actor in a Comedy Series for Romano, [10] and Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Comedy Series for Boyle. [11]
The season won an American Comedy Award for Funniest Television Series, Romano nominated for Funniest Male Performer in a TV Series (Leading Role). [12] He was also nominated for a Golden Globe Award for Best Actor in a Television Series Musical or Comedy, the last of only two nominations the series received throughout its nine-year run; he was nominated for the same award the previous year. [13] The season obtained three wins at the 2001 TV Guide Award, including Favorite Comedy Series, Actor of the Year in a Comedy Series for Romano, and Supporting Actress of the Year in a Comedy Series for Roberts. [14] At the same event, Heaton was nominated for Actress of the Year in a Comedy Series, [15] and Garrett was nominated for Supporting Actor of the Year in a Comedy Series. [16]
At the 17th TCA Awards, the season was nominated for Outstanding Achievement in Comedy, and Romano was nominated for Individual Achievement in Comedy. [17] The season was also nominated for a Family TV Comedy Series Young Artist Award, with Sweeten nominated for Best Performance in a TV Series (Comedy or Drama): Young Actress Age Ten or Under. [18] As an ASCAP composer, Rick Marotta received a Top Television Series award from the company's Film and Television Music Awards for his music on the latter half of season four and the first half of season five. [19] For writing "Ray's Journal," Jennifer Crittenden won a Humanitas Prize in the 30-minute show category. [20] [21]
