The Paley Museum will play host to the creators and stars of the hit 1990s and 2000s sitcom “Everybody Loves Raymond” at a red carpet event on Monday, June 16, kicking off the run of the Paley Museum’s latest exhibit, “30 Years of Everybody Loves Raymond: A Behind-the-Scenes Tribute.”
Monday’s 7 p.m. event, with a red carpet at 6 p.m., will feature “Everybody Loves Raymond” star and executive producer Ray Romano, show creator and executive producer Phil Rosenthal, and writer and co-executive producer Tom Caltabiano, who will reunite to celebrate the show’s 30th anniversary.
The event is part of the Paley Museum’s PaleyLive lineup, which the Paley Center runs to “offer the public the rare opportunity to engage with prominent names in media and television.” The museum’s exhibit will feature props and sets from the show, with opportunities for lovers of the sitcom to take photos on the famous Barone family couch and kitchen table.
The exhibit will also include costumes from the show and never-before-seen photos and videos.
One of the funniest sitcoms of the 1990s, “Everybody Loves Raymond” debuted in September 1996 and ran for nine seasons on CBS. It starred Romano as a sports writer living on Long Island with his wife Debra (played by Patricia Heaton) and three children — and across the street from his doting but meddlesome mother (played by Doris Roberts), unfiltered father (played by Peter Boyle) and jealous older brother Robert (played by Brad Garrett).
The hilarious interactions and tension that ensued made “Raymond” one of the most popular and award-winning sitcoms of its time, earning 15 Primetime Emmy Awards. Reruns remain popular on cable TV networks such as TV Land.
For those who can’t make the event, the exhibit will be open to museum visitors through early September.
