Description of Everybody Loves Raymond - The Complete Fourth Season:
How do we love Raymond's fourth season? Let us count the classic episodes: "The Tenth Anniversary," in which Debra discovers that Raymond taped over their wedding video with the 1991 Super Bowl; "The Boob Job," in which Debra surprises Raymond with an apparent uplifting enhancement; "Debra's Workout," which leaves her in an amorously aggressive mood; "No Thanks," in which Debra tries a new, "nice" approach to win Marie (Doris Roberts) over; "Debra Makes Something Good," in which Debra's braciole upsets the family balance; and the Emmy-nominated "Bad Moon Rising," in which Raymond desperately tries to deal with Debra's volatile mood swings. Yes, it was a career year for Patricia Heaton, who became the first cast member to be honored with an Emmy (each of the core ensemble was nominated). As with the first three seasons, season 4 concludes with a flashback episode, "Robert's Divorce." But for the first time, the episode is capped with a cliffhanger, as Robert (Brad Garrett) retrieves his ex-wife's discarded phone number after running into her at a restaurant.
Series star and co-creator Ray Romano once told Entertainment Weekly that Raymond's best episodes start with "a small relatable concept and go somewhere bigger and deeper." Among the season's most memorable episodes that follow this formula are "The Can Opener," in which the entire Barone family becomes embroiled in Raymond and Debra's senseless argument; the Emmy-nominated "The Christmas Picture," in which Marie threatens to sit out a family photograph once she learns that Debra's parents are to be included; and the one in which Raymond discovers that Debra enjoys a good cry during her "Alone Time." ("Do you cry because I'm stupid?" he asks. "No," she replies, "I eat ice cream because you're stupid."). And all parents whose children came of age during the Pokémon craze will identify with Raymond's desperate attempts to scrounge up a valuable card for his daughter in the episode, "Hackidu." To quote the old comedy maxim: It's funny because it's true. And it's the universal truths and minutiae about family and married life that are at the heart of Raymond's enduring success. --Donald Liebenson
Everybody Loves Raymond - The Complete Fourth Season Reviews:
This show reminds me of my family! 
2009-11-04 - This is without a doubt one of the funniest shows on TV. Each character is so distinct and will probably remind you of somebody in your own family. Unlike most sitcoms, which seem to take really unrealistic characters and throw them into unrealistic situations, Raymond works taking a normal situation and exaggerating it to show the humor. I pull these DVDs out whenever I need a laugh. They're well worth the cost.
Everybody Loves Raymond - Season 4
2009-05-13 - One of the greatest television series of all time. I love owning this series.
Everybody Loves Raymond Season Four
2009-05-11 - I am a "Raymond" fan and enjoy having the series for my own use. Lately it has been almost impossible to locate any of the Everybody Loves Raymond Seasons series in discount or media stores. If available, the prices are in the $40 range and rarely can you find the season of choice. I was so pleased to find the entire production of "Raymond" at Amazon. The availability and low price immediately created a comfortable order for me. I am pleased with my purchase from start to finish.
Funny Stuff!
2009-03-28 - I love this show. You really can't go wrong with any season if you enjoy this show! A great buy!
They Love Him Too
2009-02-01 - One of the great sitcoms of the last 15 years. So much better without the every present commercial interruptions of TV.
