“Taking a moment to reflect,” Heaton posted. “On my way to the Paley Center’s 30 year tribute to Everybody Loves Raymond. Tonight I’ll be with old coworkers -but more importantly, old friends. The cast and crew of Everybody Loves Raymond was rare. We weren’t just punching the clock together -we were telling stories, raising kids and growing in so many ways. I’m also reminded of the ache of those we’ve lost. I know Peter, Doris and Sawyer are will be sharing this moment with us in spirit, smiling. I’m sure I’ll be posting a bunch of the behind the scenes photos this week. Indulge me ;-) this was a wonderful group and a wonderful time. I thank God every day for this blessing “

We all need laughter, real comedy and real laughter,” one fan wrote in a comment to Heaton. “It’s been tough with losing my Dad two years ago. I watch to laugh and enjoy all the characters/actors.”
This sentiment was echoed by others who praise the show's timeless humor. “I love this show! It never gets old. Funny is funny!” another shared, summing up the series' enduring appeal.
