Frasier got one. Roseanne got one. But Ray Romano says don’t hold your breath for an Everybody Loves Raymond reboot.
“As far as a reboot, well its out of the question,” Romano told Bill Maher on Real Time tonight.
For one, “They’re never as good,” he said, “and we want to leave with our legacy as what it is.”
Secondly and maybe more literally, Romano observed, “its out of the question because now his [Ray Barone’s] parents are gone: Peter Boyle and Doris Roberts.” (Boyle passed in 2006, Roberts in 2016.)
Maher praised him for not going back for another big payday. “You never went to a reboot. You had one of the most successful sitcoms of all time.”
Romano said he wanted to go out on top.
“The rest of the cast wanted it to go on,” he said, “but myself and [show runner] Phil Rosenthal, we thought it was time.”
