If creator Philip Rosenthal had his way, though, we’d have been watching even more family comedy from at least some of these characters.
It’s somewhat surprising that it’s been over ten years since Everybody Loves Raymond aired its Season 9 finale, considering how many repeats I still see showing up across the daily TV schedule.
A spinoff was conceived and while CBS would have been willing to get a pilot out of it, Rosenthal wouldn’t settle for that.
(Elliot played Amy’s brother Peter, and more of that guy on TV is never a bad thing.)
