Reception

Reviews

During the 1999–2000 TV season, some critics claimed Everybody Loves Raymond to be one of the greatest sitcoms in an otherwise terrible season for the genre. [3] [4] Bruce Fretts of Entertainment Weekly , ranking Raymond the second-best series of 1999, claimed the cast "returned to full strength" in the season, and "no show has ever deserved its better-late-than-never ratings success more." [5] Mitchell J. Near of Lawrence Journal-World called Marie and Frank "the best TV parents (from Hell)" of the 1999–2000 TV season, [6] while Contra Costa Times ranked Raymond the second best show of the season. [7] It was also on TV Guide 's list of the best shows of 1999. [8] Upon each episode's initial airing, Mike Hughes, a TV critic for Gannett News Service, included "Boob Job," [9] "Sex Talk," [10] "The Will," [11] "Cousin Gerard," [12] "Debra's Workout," [13] "No Fat," [14] "Left Back," [15] "What's with Robert?," [16] "Debra Makes Something Good," [17] and "Confronting the Attacker" in his weekly feature of "Tonight's Must-See" programs. [18] He called "Left Back" "a terrific episode, even by this show's high standards." [15] Hal Boedeker gave a positive review of the season finale, labeling it "far more impressive than most ballyhooed sweeps programs." As he elaborated about the episode, "[Suzie] Plakson gives a memorably chilly performance, and the episode even manages a surprising cliffhanger." [19]

Patricia Heaton gave the show its first Primetime Emmy Award win.

On May 24, 2000, a truck of 9,600 videotapes, each containing four segments from season four of Raymond, was stolen from a North Hollywood parking lot; they were meant for voters of the Emmy Awards, and the robbery occurred a week before content submission to the Emmys was due. The tapes had been dubbed only hours before by a Technicolor company in Camarillo, California. Although this resulted in a delay, as HBO and Worldwide Pants had to re-produce the tapes, Rosenthal responded that he had no worries about Raymond not gaining Emmy nominations as a result. [20] On June 21, the truck was spotted by a driver in a location five minutes away from the parking lot; 9,100 of the tapes were found in the truck, and CBS donated them to hospitals and nursing homes. [21]

Everybody Loves Raymond's fourth season received nine Primetime Emmy Award nominations, including one Outstanding Comedy Series accolade for the season itself. [22] Rosenthal and Romano were also nominated for Outstanding Writing for a Comedy Series for writing "Bad Moon Rising," Will MacKenzie was nominated for Outstanding Directing for a Comedy Series for his work on "The Christmas Picture," [23] and Mike Berlin was nominated for Outstanding Cinematography for a Multi-Camera Series for "Robert's Rodeo." [24]

Five acting award nominations were for the lead performers. Romano was nominated for Outstanding Lead Actor in a Comedy Series; [25] Heaton was nominated for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Comedy Series; [26] Roberts was nominated for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Comedy Series; [27] and Garrett and Boyle were both nominated for Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Comedy Series. [28] In the end, Heaton won the Lead Actress award, [26] giving Everybody Loves Raymond its first-ever Emmy win. [29] Analyzed Rosenthal, the public airing of Heaton's September 10, 2000 winning increased the popularity of Raymond's cast, which was a prominent factor of "Italy," an episode that aired a month later, garnering 22 million viewers, a record for the show.
