I can't wait to get ahold of season four. I have all the previous releases and they just keep getting better and better. "Everybody Loves Raymond" is truly the standard of what true television should be. It's comedy in the classic sense without all the trash that has plagued our TV sets for far too long. It really is a show that will keep you laughing from start to end filled with characters that are truly unbelievably hilarious.

It's a shame that this show has come to an end but for the nine years they were on they really did present something beyond unique which all viewers will be able to enjoy for years to come with these box sets. A true television classic!!!!!

This may be the best season of the series simply because it's the most consistent, with very few filler episodes and even those have some redeeming quality.

It starts off with "Boob Job" with the message that boob jobs really aren't the answer. It seems kind of hypocrytical given all the plastic surgery Patrica Heaton's had, but it's still one of the shows best season premires. "Sex Talk" has some memorable lines as does "Debra's Workout" and "The Can Opener", and of course the brillant "Bad Moon Rising", where Patrica Heaton gives one of the shows most memorable performances.

The only bad episodes to speak of here are the preachy "Prodigal Son", "Hackidu", and "Bully on The Bus". If you're only going to buy one season of the series, make it this one.

Well now were do i start, this is my first online review for anything and im glad that its for Everybody loves Raymond. I first seen Everybody loves Raymond about a year ago on Irish national television i was unawear of how long it had been running for and unawear of how long it had been shown on Irish television but after that first twenty minutes or so of pure comic Genius i too loved Raymond. I was really annoyed at first to find that like when the show was originally aired in the states it had not beened given the what seems to be universal prime time monday night comedy slot, where in the states it was on on a friday night it was on over this side of the water during the day time when most people where in work really killing its chances of having any fans or getting any real media attention. But thank Heavens for the DVD, i recently bought both series one and two (as there the only ones available over here at the moment)and i wet myself with laughter for three days non-stop its the only time i ever went out of my to watch anything in me life, each season has 25 episodes and i watch the whole fifty in three days(In between work and sleep of course)i have read a lot of the other reviews and most of them are just summaries of each episode which i'm not going to do, if you read this and it in any way helps your decision to purchase then you will want to watch each episode as a VIRGIN if you will to easily one of the best if not the best American sitcom ever produced, I could very easily waffle on until season nine is released on dvd about how great it is but don't take my word for it its best if you see for yourself. There are many things that make Raymond a great sitcom like the top notch excellent casting or the brilliant writing but i think the main reason for me is and altough i'm only 23 at the moment and have not been through as much as these charactors have all the situations are believeable and most are what i will have to look forward to in the future, i see a little bit of raymond in me and his family and friends in my family and friends and i think this is truly what makes raymond genuinly funny and that its all about the ups and downs of being close or not so close to your nearest and dearest YOUR FAMILY. I recommend EVERYBODY LOVES RAYMOND and am 100% positive that EVERBODY who watches will LOVE RAYMOND.

The 1999/2000 season of "Everybody Loves Raymond" was the breakthrough year for the acclaimed series. It's not that previous seasons of the show didn't have some great episodes("Good Girls" from Season Two, or Season Three's "How They Met", for example), but Season Four delivers a number of truly classic episodes which helped the show to consistently beat the once mighty "Monday Night Football" in the ratings. It also drew attention to the talented cast- Patricia Heaton won the first of her two Emmys for Best Lead Actress in a Comedy Series thanks to her work in Season Four. She's a standout in "Bad Moon Rising", where her character, Debra Barone, undergoes some heavy-duty PMS related mood swings, much to the dismay of Raymond. Other superb episodes include "The Can Opener", in which Ray and Debra's versions of a fight over a can opener are vastly different; and "Sex Talk", when Ray and Debra discover that Frank and Marie, Ray's senior citizen-age parents, are more active in the bedroom than they are. I look forward to subsequent seasons of "Everybody Loves Raymond" on DVD, because the show was able to maintain a high level of consistency over its' nine year run, especially from Season Four on. Consider the Season Four DVD the set you must have if you are choosing from the early years of this wonderful series.

I am so excited to collect season 4, I have the first 3 on DVD. My husband and I watch the show all the time, and we can totally relate to their family (except in my case, I would be Amy not Debra) This show was and still is amazing, it's a shame they don't have more of a true, classy sitcom.

Never-before-seen Bloopers and Deleted Scenes

This show is just plain hilarious, I cannot stop laughing. I just finished season #3. I cannot wait til season #4 is released. Keep em coming folks, your doing a great job with the releases.

I really didn't start watching Raymond on a regualr basis until several years into the run so I've been relying on the frequent re-runs to see the episodes I never saw in first run. That's what makes the DVD full seasons so great. The 4th season had a number of my favorite episodes and a few bonafide classics.

"Sex Talk" Ray and Debra are upset because their sex life isn't what it used to be in terms of frequency. But they become really discouraged when they find out how often Frank and Marie are having sex.

"Cousin Gerard" Fred Stoller brilliantly plays whiny cousin Gerard who at first annoys Ray, and then scares him when is family points out how much the two are alike with their nasally voices.

"The Christmas Picture" - Ray just wants to take a nice family portrait for Christmas but ends up fighting with the whole family and trying to please Marie when she doesn't want Debra's parents in the picture.

"What's With Robert?" When Robert keeps putting off Amy on the subject of Marriage Ray begins to wonder if Robert may be gay.

"Tenth Anniversay" Debra sits down to watch her and Ray's wedding video only to find out that Ray has carelessly taped a football game over it.

"Debra makes Something Good" A Classic! Debra makes a dish that Ray, Robert, and Frank all go crazy over. And Marie is not happy about it at all!

"Bad Moon Rising" Ray tries to help Debra Out with her PMS problem but only makes things worse when he thinks the pills he bought her will take care of everything.

"Hackidu" A spoof of the Pokemon craze of a few years ago as Ray turns into a nutcase trying to get Ally's favorite card back.

Great show and this was a very solid season from beginning to end.
