Everybody Loves Raymond reboot not happening, confirms Brad Garrett
Washington [US], June 15 (ANI): A potential reboot of the classic sitcom 'Everybody Loves Raymond' is not in the cards, according to Brad Garrett, who played Robert Barone, the older brother of Ray Barone, portrayed by Ray Romano.
In a recent interview with People magazine, Garrett confirmed that a revival of the beloved show is unlikely due to the passing of key cast members Peter Boyle and Doris Roberts, who played the parents, Frank and Marie Barone.
Garrett explained that the show's dynamic relied heavily on the parental characters, and said, "There is no show without the parents. They were the catalyst, and to do anything that would resemble that wouldn't be right to the audiences or to the loyal fan base," as quoted by People magazine.
He emphasised that the show's essence was rooted in the interactions between the two families, and without the parents, it wouldn't feel the same.
Garrett's sentiments echo those of his co-stars. Ray Romano previously expressed his reservations about a reboot, citing the deaths of Boyle and Roberts, as well as his concern that such projects often don't live up to the original. Patricia Heaton, who played Debra Barone, also shared her thoughts, and said, "It was just sort of perfection, and you don't wanna mess with perfection."
She added that with the loss of cast members, a reboot wouldn't be the same show.
'Everybody Loves Raymond' aired for nine seasons, from 1996 to 2005, and won 15 Emmy Awards during its run.
The show's impact on television is still felt, and its reruns continue to entertain audiences.
Despite the lack of a reboot, fans can still enjoy the series on streaming platforms like Peacock and Paramount plus. (ANI)

In a career that redefined the demands of the game, Virat scored 9,230 runs at an average of 46.85, with 30 centuries and 31 fifties, and finished as India's fourth-highest run-getter in the format. He recently lifted the Indian Premier League (IPL) trophy for Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB). (ANI)

Maria Avgitidis' comments on Dakota Johnson's portrayal of a matchmaker in Materialists Following the release of the Celine Song directorial, the N.Y.C.-based matchmaker, Maria Avigitidis, sat down for a conversation with People Magazine. She revealed to the media portal that her professional self is far away from the Madame Web actress' portrayal. Avigitidis shared, "I don't see myself in this.' She further added, "I was trying to warn some matchmakers: 'I know you're about to throw a whole movie screening for this. 'Tread carefully.' I don't know what else to tell you." Furthermore, in the talks with the outlet, the matchmaker addressed the point of abuse and violence on the first date, as shown in the film. She claimed that Johnson's character would have been fired in such cases if she existed in real life. 'I've had to fire clients for being bad on dates two times in my 17-year career, but they were able to admit, 'You know what, Maria? Yeah, that was really inappropriate behavior,'' she said. Meanwhile, in her defense, the director, Celine Song, revealed that all the details mentioned in the movie came from real life. The Past Lives filmmaker claimed that her inspiration for Materialists came from her when she was working at Tawkify. Song stated, "The things that are in the movie came from the truth I learned: that there is a very funny, very dark objectification of each other's humanity, and therefore a very real commodification of each other, as we go through this thing that we call dating.' The filmmaker went on to say, "But it's supposed to be in pursuit of love." Materialists is running successfully in theaters, following the big premiere at the 75th Cannes Film Festival.
