Consistently one of America's most watched and highest-rated comedy shows, Everybody Loves Raymond comes to Channel 4's primetime Friday night schedule, fresh from its recent multi-Emmy Award-winning success. Ray Barone's life seems perfect: he's a successful sportswriter living with his wife Debra and three kids. But trouble comes in paradise in the shape of his interfering mother, grumpy father and resentful brother. Debra wants a peaceful birthday with Ray, so he tells his parents and brother that there's no party: a lie with embarrassing consequences...
