Description of Everybody Loves Raymond - The Complete Seventh Season:
The seventh season of Everybody Loves Raymond serves up a delightful mix of comedy and pathos as the Barones deal with cults, theft, marriage, and death. The season opener (which aired on CBS in 2002) starts where season 6 ended: with Debra (Patricia Heaton) and Marie (Doris Roberts) feuding, and Ray (Ray Romano) and Robert (Brad Garrett) conjuring up a plan to get them to make up. This 5-disc set includes all 25 episodes, including the two-part wedding finale between Robert and Amy (Monica Horan). In typical Marie fashion, she has a shocking and inappropriate comment to make when the priest makes the rhetorical statement, "If anyone can think of any reason why these two should not be joined, speak now or forever hold your peace." There is very little peace when Marie is around. A fantastic cook and a loving mother, Marie is the reason why women worldwide dislike mama's boys. When things go wrong on the home front, Ray isn't above comparing Debra to his mother. Sometimes it's unintentional. But at other times, it's calculated as a means of getting his way. The show's saving grace is the likeability of the characters and the strong writing, which makes up in humor what it lacks in subtlety.
The relationship between woebegone Robert and Amy is a delight, especially because viewers get to meet her parents this season. Fred Willard (Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy) and Georgia Engel (The Mary Tyler Moore Show) play Amy's conservative parents who'd rather see their daughter remain single than marry into the Barone family. Chris Elliott also guest stars as Amy's spoiled, unemployed brother who likes to stir things up between the two clans. The show's success always has been less about completely out-there premises than taking a slice of everyday life--helping the kids with their homework, sharing chores, dealing with in laws--and presenting them in a comical manner. In the real world, a lazy husband like Ray wouldn't be nearly as cuddly. And an interfering mother-in-law like Marie would not be tolerated by most wives. But on Everybody Loves Raymond, they're two of the main reasons why viewers consistently tuned in to this hit sitcom. --Jae-Ha Kim
Everybody Loves Raymond - The Complete Seventh 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.
Very Good Season
2009-09-09 - I really enjoy this season !!! kudos I am going to buy all the rest of the seasons. Especially Robert's Wedding part 1& 2.
I already have seasons 1,7,8, and 9.
Another funny season 
2009-06-06 - As someone who prefers sitcoms from the 70's and 80's because they were all about making you laugh without having to resort to simply being crude, this is one of the few recent sitcoms I really enjoy. Season 7 has some episodes that I can watch over and over again and always laugh - which is nice at the end of those long stressful days. These include "Homework" where Ray thinks Ally is getting too much homework and delivers a speech to the school board, and "The Plan" where the three men deliberately produce lousy invitations for Robert and Amy's wedding to get Robert out of having to do any work for the wedding.
THE HOLIEST CRAP OF TV SHOWS
2008-08-23 - This is clearly the first season of ELR where the quality of the show's writing started to take a dive and even though my dislike of Chris Eliott had me swearing I would never purchase it, a little lowering of the price plus the great "Baggage" episode made me give in. I also loved the episode where Debra ends up in jail as well as the "Robert's wedding" double feature but I thought "She's the one" was way to outrageous and unbelievable, no matter if it's suppossed to be based on a real life ocurence (or so they say). At any rate, ELR is one of my all time favorite shows and even though I think the quality of the last few season wasn't quiet as good, none of them lack at least a few terrific episodes.
Everybody Loves Raymond - The Complete Seventh Season (2002)
2008-08-09 - This season is a good one. I bought this when I was going on a trip to Argentina. The little old lady that ran the hotel in a small village heard me laughing and came in my room to watch them one rainy day. There is no language barrier with this kind of comedy.
