Every Everybody Loves Raymond & King of Queens Crossover Episode, Ranked

When it comes to ’90s sitcoms, Everybody Loves Raymond and The King of Queens often reign supreme. These shows quickly struck a chord with fans due to the way they expertly depicted modern life. Both Doug and Ray are ordinary guys who are just trying to create better lives for their loving families, but things don’t always go to plan.

Eagle-eyed fans will notice that Kevin James appeared in Everybody Loves Raymond countless times before he slipped into the iconic role of Doug Heffernan. But, when Ray and Debra arrived in Queens, both men were able to settle into their archetypal characters. Thus, some fans’ favorite moments of both shows are when Ray Barone and Doug Heffernan exist in the same comedy universe.

Although Robert is happy for her to make the new house a home, Ray plants the seed that Amy is trying to overtake his life. Of course, this forces Robert to completely freak out, and the couple split up. As such, Ray is forced to face the brunt of his disappointed family as he tries to convince the couple that living together can be a good thing.
