Synopsis

The complete fifth series of the popular American sitcom. Stand-up comedian Ray Romano stars as Ray Barone, a successful sportswriter and devoted husband to Debra (Patricia Heaton), who must deal with his brother (Brad Garrett) and his parents, Frank and Marie (Peter Boyle and Doris Roberts), who happen to live across the street. Frank and Marie love to meddle with his life while his older brother Robert sometimes resents his success. Nevertheless, Ray manages to keep a bright outlook and a sense of humour as he balances his family and work life. Episodes comprise: 'Italy (Part 1)', 'Italy (Part 2)', 'The Wallpaper', 'Meant to Be', 'Pet Cemetary', 'The Author', 'The Walk to the Door', 'Young Girl', 'Fighting In-Laws', 'The Sneeze', 'Christmas Present', 'What Good Are You?', 'Super Bowl', 'Ray's Journal', 'Silent Partners', 'Fairies', 'Stefania Arrives', 'Humm Vac', 'The Canister', 'Net Worth', 'Let's Fix Robert', 'Say Uncle', 'Separation', 'Frank Paints the House' and 'Ally's Birth'.
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 FetzerSee all
