the behind-the-scenes stuff must've been really interesting to see too, can't wait to watch the encore on the 28th 
. I think what's amazing about this show is that even though it originally ended like 20 years ago, people are still super into it. It's like it never left us 
. And can you blame them? The cast looked so great together again and the behind-the-scenes stories were super interesting. I'm definitely gonna check out the encore on Nov 28th! 
... and now we're still drawn back in like moths to a flame 
... 30 years after its original run, it's crazy how this one show can still capture us so fully. I mean, what does that say about our collective nostalgia? Are we just searching for a sense of comfort and familiarity in an ever-changing world? 
And the cast, oh man... they're like family now... seeing them all reunite was like watching old friends reconnect 
. But, on a deeper level, is this reunion just a reminder that some things never truly go away? That even as we grow older and move on to new experiences, there are still certain moments and memories that can bring us back to where we started? 
. The 30th anniversary reunion special's impressive ratings are a reflection of the show's timeless appeal, which continues to captivate audiences nationwide 
. It's fascinating to see how the original cast members have been reunited, sharing their behind-the-scenes anecdotes and reminiscing about the show's production 
!! I've always had a major crush on Ray Romano 
and seeing him host this thing with Phil Rosenthal was like my birthday come early 
! And can we talk about how nostalgic it felt watching all those old cast members come together again? It's crazy to think that show originally aired like 20 years ago... I remember watching it with my grandma back in the day 
and I gotta say it really brought back so many memories! I used to watch "Everybody Loves Raymond" with my family all the time when I was a kid, we'd all laugh together at Barry Farber's antics 
. And let me tell you, seeing Ray Romano and Phil Rosenthal hosting it again was pure comedy gold 
! The ratings are insane though, 6.32 million viewers?! That's crazy 
SIX MILLION VIEWERS FOR A TV SPECIAL IS HUGE, AND I'M NOT SURPRISED - THAT SHOW WAS ALWAYS SO WELL-LOVED.
i heard their waffles are TO DIE FOR and i'm totally going back there this weekend 
And can we talk about how awesome it is that the reunion special had such an epic audience? 6.32 million viewers is no joke! I'm not surprised though, since this show still has so much love around it. It's like, even after all these years, the laughter and the feels are still totally on point! 
The way he cracked me up on screen was still so on point even after all these years. Anyway, 6.32 million viewers? That's insane! I'm def gonna watch that encore when it airs on Nov 28th 
Brad Garrett was hilarious as usual 
. Can't believe they're replaying it on the 28th tho, might have to record it 
. It just goes to show how much "Everybody Loves Raymond" meant to people back then and how much they still love it today
