'Everybody Loves Raymond' Star Addresses Revival Rumors
'Everybody Loves Raymond' Star Addresses Revival Rumors originally appeared on Parade.
Over the past decade, television audiences have expressed a greater interest in revival of their favorite past series.
Whether looking at Fuller House, The Conners, That '90s Show or the upcoming Malcolm in the Middle miniseries on Disney+, it's clear that TV revivals have become something of a newfound norm in the contemporary entertainment industry, providing viewers a nostalgic look back at their most treasured TV shows.
As more and more shows experience a spiritual continuation of some kind, countless fans are wondering whether they'll one day see a revival of certain notable TV series from the '90s and 2000s, be it Seinfeld, Friends or CBS's long-running sitcom, Everybody Loves Raymond.
Sadly, in the case of the latter series, one of the original stars of Everybody Loves Raymond has spoken out about the possibility of a future revival series, revealing that the show will likely "never" be rebooted.
In an interview with People magazine, comedian Brad Garrett, best known for portraying Ray Romano's goofy on-screen brother Robert in the series, shut down any rumors surrounding a potential Everybody Loves Raymond continuation.
"There won't be," the 65-year-old Garrett remarked after being asked whether we could one day see a revival. "And I'm just saying that because that's something that Ray and [showrunner Phil Rosenthal] have always said."
According to Garrett, one primary reason the series is unlikely to arrive on our screens has to do with the passing of Peter Boyle and Doris Roberts, who famously played the fan-favorite bickering parents of Romano and Garrett's characters.
"There is no show without the parents," Garrett observed. "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."
