The beloved sitcom “Everybody Loves Raymond” celebrated its 30th anniversary with a reunion special that debuted to strong ratings on CBS last Monday. Following the success of the original airing on November 24, CBS is offering an encore presentation for fans to enjoy.
This special will re-air on November 28 at 9 p.m. ET/PT, directly after the premiere of “A Paw Patrol Christmas Special.” Viewers can catch the encore episode on CBS with any basic cable package that includes the network.
For those without cable, the reunion can be streamed live online through DirecTV, which provides a live CBS feed. DirecTV allows viewers to access the special via their computer, tablet, phone, or smart TV without needing a cable subscription. It currently offers a five-day free trial, making it a convenient option to watch the reunion at no cost. After the trial, DirecTV’s monthly subscription begins at $49.99, and users are free to cancel at any time.
Additionally, the reunion is available for streaming on Fubo, which provides a seven-day free trial for new subscribers, enabling fans to enjoy the event without any upfront payment. If you miss the live airing, CBS plans to make the anniversary special available for on-demand streaming on its platform, Paramount+, which is currently offered at a discounted price of $2.99 per month in celebration of Black Friday.
The reunion special includes appearances from several cast members, such as Ray Romano, Brad Garrett, Patricia Heaton, Monica Horan, Madylin Sweeten, and Sullivan Sweeten. The event features touching tributes to the late actors Doris Roberts and Peter Boyle, who portrayed Ray’s parents, as well as honors for Sawyer Sweeten, who played Geoffrey Barone and tragically passed away at age 19.
Hosted by Romano and series creator Phil Rosenthal, the special lasts 90 minutes and was filmed on a recreated soundstage of the Barone family living room, capturing a nostalgic throwback for fans of the show.
“Everybody Loves Raymond” enjoyed a successful nine-season run from September 13, 1996, to May 16, 2005, securing 15 Emmy Awards during its time, including Outstanding Comedy Series in 2002 and 2005.
Fans of the show won’t want to miss the chance to relive the memorable moments and celebrate the show’s legacy during the encore of the 30th anniversary reunion special tonight, airing at 9 p.m. ET/PT on CBS and available for streaming options as mentioned.
