DVD Reviews of Everybody Loves Raymond - The Complete Eighth Season

DVD Review: great family entertainment
Summary: 5 Stars

One of my all time favorite sit-coms. and I don't like many. ELR are my go-to DVD's for when I'm feeling sad or down. I am disabled and have many surgeries and I always watch them before and after surgeries as they just plain cheer me up. I've watched each show probably at least 20 times and they just don't get old. Not many things exist anymore that are great for the whole family, while ELR does have an occassional swear word, they are few and far between. It's good, clean fun and it makes me happy.

DVD Review: Great comedy for all ages!!
Summary: 5 Stars

I give this product 5 stars for many reasons. Not only do I love comedies, but having a season to watch when ever I want is great. Each disk is individually labeled with the episode titles. I had never seen any Everybody Loves Raymond episodes until seeing one with my boyfriend who was already a fan, I was immediately hooked. Being a nightly after dinner show it was very convenient to watch. Although the season finale was aired soon after I got hooked to the comedy, the show is so popular that reruns are still on every night which helps to get me caught up on everything that I have missed, especially the episodes of the seasons which I have not bought yet.
Another reason why this comedy is so easy to get hooked to is that the characters are seen throughout many seasons. We see the kids grow up and marriages form. It is not a love story but a comedy set around an everyday family with annoying parents as neighbors.

DVD Review: Very good service
Summary: 5 Stars

The service of astro_video is excellent. The DVD was in perfect condition and the delivery was very fast.

DVD Review: Raymond, Raymond, Raymond,......
Summary: 4 Stars

Not quiet as good as past seasons but specially gratifying if you get it at a good discount, like I did. It is normal for every show to run out of ideas with time but all things considered ELR wasn't that bad, specially since season 8 might have just been an improvement over the less inspired #7. I specially enjoyed the "Lateness" episode in which I found as much truth and uneasiness as in the classic "The Cannister", in other words, something like this could happen to you (and probably has). I also think the "Misery loves company" episode is one of the best of the series, for a second there you can sense there is more than a glimpse of knowledge in Frank and Marie constantly beligerant attitude toward each other.
I have a collection of TV shows (Cheers, Seinfeld, Taxi, Happy Days,24 etc.) but only in the case of 1 specific show I have bought every available episode: (to put it in Robert's words: Raymond, Raymond, Raymond,....) Case closed.

DVD Review: Good but not as good as prior seasons
Summary: 4 Stars

Even though it's the 8th season, it is still worth getting. Although the jokes are not as funny as prior seasons it is still one of the better shows out there.

Description of Everybody Loves Raymond - The Complete Eighth Season

Standup comedian Ray Romano stars as Ray Barone a successful sportswriter who deals with his brother and parents who happen to live across the street. Patricia Heaton ("The Goodbye Girl") Peter Boyle ("While You Were Sleeping") Doris Roberts ("Remington Steele") and Brad Garrett ("Til Death") round out the stellar cast.Running Time: 720 min.Format: DVD MOVIE Genre:?TELEVISION/SERIES & SEQUELS Rating:?NR UPC:?026359240720 Manufacturer No:?92407
A recurring theme throughout Everybody Loves Raymond's excellent eighth season might be, "No good deed goes unpunished." In the episode "Misery Loves Company," annoyingly happy newlyweds Robert (Brad Garrett) and Amy (Monica Horan) offer unwanted marriage advice to Raymond (Ray Romano) and Debra (Patricia Heaton) and even in-laws Frank (Peter Boyle) and Marie (Doris Roberts), who gives them a reality check on what marriage really is ("You plow through"). In "The Ingrate," Raymond pays tribute to Debra in his newspaper column after forgetting to acknowledge her in a speech, only to raise the ire of a resentful Marie. In "Debra at the Lodge," Debra volunteers at Frank's lodge, only to become an object of lust for the randy elderly members (this season, Debra begins to blossom as a suburban goddess in the grand Laura Petrie tradition).

After eight seasons, we know these characters like our own family members. So, much of each episode's comedy is built upon our anticipation of how they will react to each other, as when Marie catches Raymond and Debra in an escalating series of lies or when the Barones share Thanksgiving with Amy's more uptight family, who, she observes at one point, "wouldn't yell if they were on fire." In one of the season's best episodes, Debra seizes on a rift between Marie and family newcomer Amy over thank-you notes to shift the balance of power from the manipulative and Machiavellian Marie (as always, a losing battle).

Raymond is one of those rare sitcoms that stayed on top of its game during its nine-year run. This penultimate season is filled with classic episodes and priceless moments. The incisive and intimately observed writing, brought to life by the peerless, Emmy-winning ensemble, could turn on a dime from funny to genuinely moving. In "Golf for It," the season finale, Raymond and Robert pull an all-nighter waiting for a tee-time. Their conversation turns to the indomitable Marie, and which of the brothers will care for her in her dotage. Marriage, as Paul Rudd's character observes in Knocked Up, "is like a tense, unfunny version of Everybody Loves Raymond." But the secret to Raymond's enduring success is that it's funny because it's true. --Donald Liebenson
