Everybody Loves Raymond star Brad Garrett explains why sitcom won't ever get reboot
Any hope for an Everybody Loves Raymond reboot has been extinguished by star Brad Garrett. The 65-year old, who appeared in the sitcom as Robert Barone, addressed rumours of a reboot while attending the premiere of his new film. Disney Pixar's Elio. Garrett said the main reason the show could never return is due to the deaths of Peter Boyle and Doris Roberts, who played Romano's parents in the series. Roberts died aged 90 in 2016, while Boyle died in 2006, shortly after the show ended. Roberts won four Emmys for her performance as the feisty matriarch, Marie. 'There is no show without the parents,' Garrett told People. '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. And it was about those two families, and you can't get around that.' Everybody Loves Raymond, which starred Ray Romano as the titular character, ran between 1996 and 2005. The popular series followed Raymond's life as a sports journalist and a busy family man, and was celebrated for its comic depiction of family life in Long Island, New York. Although Garrett said he'd never reprise his role of Romano's brother, he said he feels 'very grateful' looking back at his experience, adding: 'I know the reboot won't happen, but 30 years later, I got very lucky to get on that bus.' Romano previously shared his thoughts on the possibility of a reboot. 'As far as a reboot, well, it's now out of the question because unfortunately the parents are gone: Peter Boyle and Doris Roberts,' he said on Real Time with Bill Maher back in 2023. In recent years, various US shows received the reboot treatment, with examples including And Just Like That, a continuation of Sex and the City , HBO Max's doomed Gossip Girl revamp and Frasier, which was axed by Paramount after two seasons. Romano said of reboots in 2023: 'They're never as good. We want to leave our legacy with what it is.'

Myles Garrett on Aaron Rodgers joining Steelers, 'Opportunity to put him in the graveyard'
Myles Garrett and the Cleveland Browns are scheduled to face Aaron Rodgers and the Pittsburgh Steelers twice during the 2025 NFL season. Garrett will have one goal in mind when the AFC North rivals square off. Advertisement "I think it's a good opportunity to put him in the graveyard," Garrett told reporters when asked about Rodgers signing with the Steelers. Garrett's comment was a reference to an annual Halloween tradition for which he has become known. It began when the star edge rusher transformed his front yard into a graveyard featuring the names of notable quarterbacks he had sacked during his career on its tombstones. Now, Garrett comes up with similar displays each year, poking fun at opposing quarterbacks. That included a "Terminator"-inspired setup last season featuring jerseys of Josh Allen, Joe Burrow, Lamar Jackson and even Rodgers. While Rodgers was included in Garrett's 2024 lawn display, the 2023 Defensive Player of the Year has never actually sacked the 41-year-old veteran. The two have only gone head-to-head once during Garrett's eight-year career: a Christmas matchup during the 2021 NFL season. Rodgers completed 24 of 34 passes for 204 yards and three touchdowns in the contest while Cleveland failed to register a sack in a 24-22 Green Bay victory. Advertisement Garrett's next chance to add Rodgers to his career sack ledger will come in Week 6 when Cleveland travels to Pittsburgh to face the Steelers. The 29-year-old has 102.5 career sacks across 117 games. This article originally appeared on USA TODAY: Myles Garrett hoping to sack Aaron Rodgers, 'put him in the graveyard'
