DVD Reviews of Everybody Loves Raymond - The Complete Fifth Season
DVD Review: Everybody Loves Raymond 5
Summary: 5 Stars
Every character in this show brings something to the plate. Enjoyment that you can watch with the entire family. The take everyday family "isues" and make light of them; things aren't always as bad as they seem. Sad to see it's about to come to an end.DVD Review: Everybody Loves Ray "5"
Summary: 5 Stars
As always, We LOVE Ray!! It is just such a "Down to earth" show that deals with everyday life. Ray is always such an "idiot". Debra's cooking will never get better,(except for the stuffed beef). Marie will ALWAYS be there. Frank, Well........."Holy Crap!" And Robert will just remain Robert. (Except if he's Raybert)
I can be having a very bad day, but pop in a Ray DVD, and the world is a better place!! Ya just Gotta LOVE Ray!!!
DVD Review: Lacks something that previous seasons had...
Summary: 3 Stars
Reading the comments of other reviewers I was intrigued at myself as to why I did not like this season as much as they did. Instead of getting carried over with the momentum of the previous 4 seasons, if we treat season 5 on its own merit, it is a little bit below average. The situations are forced, the actors are forced to fit into their stereotypes, periodic overacting are some of the many issues that plague this season. One reviewer pointed out that the writer had changed for this season. May be that could be a reason. The previous 4 seasons had an element of natural-ness to the sitcom, while in this season the plot feels like it is a result of a hardly-thought-over-process. On repeated viewing, however, I should say that I got used to this season's flavor and started to like it too. Since Amazon does not let me change the rating, I just would like to state here that this season deserves a 4 star lenient rating and not a strict 3 star rating that I have done.
On a macroscopic level, ELR is much better than many other sitcoms of its age.

Audio Commentary:Three optional audio commentaries ("Italy", "Young Girl," and "The Canister" with series creator Phil Rosenthal, Ray Romano, Patricia Heaton, and writer Tom Caltabiano
Other:Never-before-seen Bloopers and Deleted Scenes
The beloved sitcom Everybody Loves Raymond would be as brutal as a Strindberg drama if it didn't make familial bitterness so genuinely funny. Stand-up comedian Ray Romano (Ice Age) plays Ray Barone, a sportswriter married to Debra (the sharp and sexy Patricia Heaton) who has the misfortune to live just across the street from his invasive, bickering parents Frank and Marie (Peter Boyle, Young Frankenstein, and Doris Roberts, Remington Steele). Rounding out the cast is Ray's neglected older brother Robert (Brad Garrett, Gleason), whose every accomplishment has been ignored because his parents prefer to dote on the younger, cuter Ray. Robert, whose gloomy mug and huge size makes him loom over Ray like some malevolent alter-ego, is actually more honest and sensitive to the needs of others than is Ray, who's both self-centered and too eager to please--an impossible balance that Romano spins to great comic effect.
The fifth season presents the show at the peak of its strength. The season opener, a two-part story about a trip to Italy, degenerates into schmaltz, but immediately afterward Everyone Loves Raymond regains its bearings and launches into series of deftly played and skillfully written domestic skirmishes between husband and wife or parent and child. Episodes range from an explosive fight over wallpaper (a fan favorite) to anxiety over Ray's twin sons playing fairies in a school performance to the separation of Debra's seemingly perfect parents (Katherine Helmond, Brazil, and Robert Culp, I Spy). It's hard to imagine that any other show could get away with such a morbid view of marriage. In one episode, Ray and Debra panic when they realize they're running out of things to talk about; but after they witness Ray's parents having a meal without speaking a single word (a hypnotic pas de deux between Boyle and Roberts), Debra persuades herself that being quiet with each other is true intimacy...but the show never tells you whether she's discovered marital zen or if she's just rationalizing the inevitable emotional heat-death of a life-long commitment. Robert's romantic troubles recur throughout the season, culminating in the nightmare of having his ex-girlfriends meet to hash out everything that's wrong with him. Just a slight adjustment in tone would make Everyone Loves Raymond a bleak indictment of how people can be cruelest to those closest to them; instead, it's a cunningly comic celebration of how people can be cruelest to those closest to them. --Bret Fetzer
