Seriously? OMG! WTF?

It has been 15 years since Everybody Loves Raymond ended, and people still love it. Therefore, you have to wonder if we will ever get a revival of the sitcom.

Ray Romano told Harry Smith on Today, “We’ve kind of agreed…it won’t happen with us. We are missing Peter [Boyle]. We are missing Doris [Roberts]. We’re missing the crux of the show.”

While we will never see them do a new script together, Romano, Patricia Heaton, and Brad Garrett are getting together tomorrow to read scenes from old scripts to raise money for International Myeloma Foundation. The cancer that took Peter Boyle away from us.

I wish they would consider doing a reboot because it is doable.

It has been 14 years since Everybody Loves Raymond ended its Emmy-winning run, and yet the cast and writers are still just as close now as they were then. Every Labor Day they get together at Phil Rosenthal’s house and yesterday was no different.

Ray Romano, Patrica Heaton, Brad Garrett and his TV wife Monica Rosenthal reunited at her house with her real-life husband Phil Rosenthal for some yummy food. Hopefully, between bites, they talked about doing a revival. I have said it before and I will say it again, it can easily be done.

As long as you don’t factor in that Brad Garrett is still starring in last season’s best new comedy and Patricia Heaton is starring in this years. They can film on breaks from Single Parents and Carol’s Second Act, respectively. Would you watch?

Next month, it will be 14 years since Everybody Love Raymond ended and yet Brad Garrett and Ray Romano still act like the brothers they played on that beloved sitcom. Over the weekend, the two men reunited at Garrett’s Las Vegas comedy club and I am sure the patrons enjoyed the double surprise of funny.

Which makes you wonder why they don’t do a revival of their sitcom that ended way too early. They can film it over the summer while Garrett is on a break from Single Parents (which ABC better pick up for a second season). The story is easy to do, Ally, her husband and their child move into her late grandparents’ house and now Debra and Ray are acting just like Frank and Marie did to them. Not only that, a recently divorced Robert moves back into his old room and drives everyone crazy.

The last time that Jon Hamm was on The Tonight Show, he did an impression of Ray Romano. Yesterday, the guy that everybody loves was on the NBC late night talk show and Jimmy Fallon showed him the video of Jon hamming it up.

What did Romano think of his “friend’s” impression? He said, “If you think about it, it is a double insult.” Why? He explained, “Because he is making fun of my voice and he is making fun of golf game.” Romano then defended himself by saying that he does not take that many bad shots during golf.

Then he called Hamm a son of a bitch because “he’s handsome and he’s funny.” I am surprised he did not take a swing at his golf club because that is another reason for men to hate him and for women to love him.

After all of that bashing, it was time for Romano to hamm it up and do his impression of his friend making a bad shot. Do you think he scored a hole in one with that take or do you think it was a total duff?

Even though HBO picked up Vinyl for a second season, today they announced that they are cancelling it. The network said, ““After careful consideration, we have decided not to proceed with a second season of ‘Vinyl.’ Obviously, this was not an easy decision. We have enormous respect for the creative team and cast for their hard work and passion on this project.”
The cable show starring Ray Romano and Olivia Wilde got a lot of buzz, but not a lot of viewers. I am sure the latter part played a big part in their decision.
I wanted to check it out, but everyone kept telling me it was boring. Which also accounts for why people were treating it like Vinyl records and not buying it.
The most important question about the cancellation, is does Wilde get to keep her Merkin?
