Merciful Brad Garrett swears we'll be spared an Everybody Loves Raymond revival

In a world where literally anything that made anyone any money ever is considered fair game to be fed into the ever-hungry maw of the Reboot Industrial Complex, we’d like to take a moment to formally thank Brad Garrett. The veteran comedy actor was walking the red carpet for the premiere of his new Pixar movie, Elio, when someone—moved, we assume, by the spirit of Satan, who is the devil—went ahead and asked him when he was going to get around to bringing back Everybody Loves Raymond, the sitcom that transformed him into a household name. (And was, almost uniformly, better, smarter, and funnier than the imitators that followed in its wake.) After all, that same voice of sin in our own brains cackles, we just passed the 20-year anniversary of the series going off the air. Isn’t it time to drag it, screaming, back in front of the masses? Maybe hire some young adults born years after the series first started airing to play Ray and Roberts’ kids, now being annoyed by their own living-too-close parents? (It genuinely sucks how easy this stuff has become to generate, solely due to years of training by the assembled forces of TV.)
