‘Everybody Loves Raymond’ Continues to Dominate Paramount+ Streaming Charts

Nostalgia is taking center stage in the streaming world, with the 90s leading the charge. According to CBR, shows like ‘Frasier’, ‘Full House’, and ‘Friends’ have all made significant impacts on various viewing charts recently. Now, a beloved Long Island sitcom is joining the ranks, maintaining its popularity for an impressively long time.

The series in question is ‘Everybody Loves Raymond’, which first premiered on CBS on September 13, 1996, and concluded after 9 seasons on May 16, 2005. The show garnered 15 Emmy Awards and received 69 nominations, with Ray Romano starring as sportswriter Ray Barone and Patricia Heaton as his wife, Debra. Its series finale attracted a staggering 32.9 million viewers.

Currently, ‘Everybody Loves Raymond’ is still making waves on the Paramount+ TV chart, ranking at No. 6, despite slipping 2 spots after an impressive 793 days on the list. Such longevity is a remarkable achievement for any series, especially one that wrapped up over two decades ago.

The competition surrounding it is noteworthy. ‘Special Ops: Lioness’ holds the No. 1 spot, with ‘South Park’ at No. 2, while ‘MobLand’ is at No. 4. Nearby, ‘Criminal Minds’ is ranked No. 7 and ‘NCIS’ at No. 8, showcasing a lineup of comfort-viewing favorites.

Recently, the show has experienced significant moments. CBR reported that it climbed to No. 3 among the most-watched TV shows in the United States on Paramount+ ahead of its anniversary, according to FlixPatrol. Back in April, it rose 2 positions to No. 5 and remained one of the most-watched shows on the platform throughout the week.

Collider recently highlighted its enduring popularity, noting that the series consistently appears in the streaming charts, even amidst modern contenders like Taylor Sheridan’s Yellowstone universe. This is a remarkable accomplishment for a family sitcom, especially one that once averaged 18 to 20 million viewers weekly during its peak in seasons 5 and 6.

Fans were also treated to a special event late last year. A 30th anniversary reunion special aired on CBS on November 24, 2025, hosted by Romano and series creator Phil Rosenthal, and it subsequently streamed on Paramount+. The reunion featured appearances from Brad Garrett, Patricia Heaton, and Monica Horan, providing longtime viewers with a fresh reason to revisit the Barone family.

Part of the show’s charm lies in its relatability. Ray seems to have it all—a loving wife and a comfortable home—but his meddling parents and competitive brother often create chaos. This blend of family dysfunction and dry humor continues to resonate with a broad audience.

For those interested in catching up or rewatching, there are plenty of options available. The entire series can be streamed on both Paramount+ and Peacock, offering over 200 episodes to enjoy. It’s also accessible on Amazon Prime Video and other platforms, making it easy for fans to find the Barones whenever they feel nostalgic.
