Everybody Loves Raymond: The Complete Fourth Season (RPKG/DVD)

My mother wanted this series, so I ordered it for her for Christmas. I was so excited because I knew she would love it. She called me and told me she had just ordered this same thing for her husband for Christmas. So she kept the one I gave her and gave the one she ordered to her brother in law. Everyone was happy and yes, Everyone loves Raymond! Great purchase. Lots of laughs at a great price!

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.

This is a show of it's time but the ensemble actors are fantastic and the comedy comes from the characters. I highly recommend it.

While the dvds were, indeed, new and the episodes entertaining, I was NOT at all pleased with the handling of the package by Amazon. The delivery box arrived and it was in pristine shape--not a dent in the cardboard. However, the plastic framing which houses the various discs was shattered--the first time we opened the package, we encountered a shower of orangish, translucent plastic shards--the framing of the disc holder. I didn't return the package because I had purchased it for my wife's birthday and we didn't open the package for a couple of weeks after delivery. Not good, Amazon; someone in your warehouse SHOULD have spotted this damaged package.

Everybody loves Raymond is the most wanted DVD I have been waiting for these years..The Italian-American Family sitcom resembles my family in Taiwan ...I spend lots nights waiting their funky family stories while I was in New York ... it reminds me of the family ties , tensions , intimacy ,ethics , parenthood and love ...Most important of all ..the expression of the outstanding casts may be a bit of exaggerated however various awards show how lovely the sitcom is one of the favorite ones among audiences internationally.I specially love the episodes "Sex Talks "which illustrates another version of "Sex and the City " topic within common family !The comic expression of Debra and Marie did earn them the best actress nominees without any doubt....I am so glad that the sitcom DVDs finally come out and glad to see its another glorious day on Emmy 2005 !

This is probably the best season of ELR along with #6 or, as I once heard Ray Romano call it, the Sargeant Pepper season. There are more classics per disc in season 4 than per season on later years such as "Bad Moon Rising", "The Tenth Anniversary" (Raymond's face when he realizes he erased the wedding video is a clasic!), "The Christmas Picture" (hilarious), "Robert's Divorce" (underrated and one of my favorite episodes) as well as the one where Robert gets gored by a bull in the "upper tigh". Just to name a few !

My 12 year old loves Everybody Loves Raymond.

Good quality, as described , decent delivery time

This is one of the best and funniest sitcom I've ever watched! Each character is so funny and well picked for their parts. I watched a few episodes here and there on TV, but it's so great to have them all on DVD to watch whenever I please to do so. I recommend this complete fourth season (and all seasons for that matter) to anyone with a good sense of humour and a great sense of family value!

Very satisfied!!

Thank you
