Ratings

Everybody Loves Raymond's fifth season tied with Friends and Monday Night Football for the fifth most-viewed program of the 2000–01 television season,[1] far higher that the previous year's #13 ranking for the 1999–2000 season; this was an incredibly unusual boost for an established show, with Marc Berman of Mediaweek stating that "I don't think I've seen such an improvement since Cheers."[2] The season premiere garnered 22 million viewers, which was a record for the show.[2] Rosenthal attributed the sudden increase in viewership to Survivor giving attention to Raymond's summer re-airings and Heaton's win of Outstanding Lead Actress in a Comedy Series at the 52nd Primetime Emmy Awards.[2] Some of the season's episodes beat Monday Night Football airings in viewership.[2] From November 2001 to the next month, viewership for the series grew 20%.[3]

Reviews

However, the season also received coverage for having zero female or minority directors involved, due to a January 2002 Directors Guild of America study showing an extreme amount of white males directing major network drama and comedy series (663 of 826 episodes).[4]

The fifth season on Everybody Loves Raymond won three Primetime Emmy Awards. Heaton won Outstanding Lead Actress in a Comedy Series for a second year in a row,[5] and Roberts received Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Comedy Series.[6] Brentley Walton, Doug Gray, Anthony Constantini, and Rick Himot won Outstanding Multi-Camera Sound Mixing for a Series or a Special for their work on "Italy,"[7] an episode that also gave nominations to Mike Berlin and Alessio Gelsini Torresi for Outstanding Cinematography for a Multi-Camera Series and Patricia Barnett for Outstanding Multi-Camera Picture Editing for a Comedy Series.[8] The fifth season's other Emmy nominations included Outstanding Comedy Series,[9] Outstanding Lead Actor in a Comedy Series for Romano,[10] and Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Comedy Series for Boyle.[11]
