Don't make me pay your coworker with the big rig to run your ass over, Jules! 😛
Ok, so memory fades over the years. I saw the last episode but don't remember much about it and I thought they went out before their ratings sunk.

LOS ANGELES - Don't look for a supersized, super-stuffed final episode of "Everybody Loves Raymond." Television's most popular sitcom will end its nine-year run on May 16 with ? get this ? a half-hour show, CBS said Tuesday.

"We didn't want to milk the story into an hour," series star Ray Romano said. "There's been enough of that," added Phil Rosenthal, executive producer.

Of course, CBS will precede that 30 minutes with an hourlong retrospective to make it an attractive event for advertisers. The cast is filming the finale this week and keeping tightlipped on whether the battling Barone family will exit arguing.

The actors and Rosenthal said it will be an emotional week, but that they are walking away without any sense of unfinished business.

"The reason we're stopping is that we've done every single thing that we can think of," Rosenthal said. "We are bone dry."

Comic Brad Garrett, who plays Romano's brother, Robert Barone, said he hasn't been approached about a potential spinoff. "I love the character," he said. "I'm open to it."

"Supposedly there is a group of people that are out there talking about it that aren't talking to me," he quipped. "I hear they're looking for a Brad Garrett type."

Monica Horan, who plays Garrett's wife, Amy, said her interest in a spinoff would probably hinge on what her real-life husband wants to do. She's married to Rosenthal.

Taking a cue from NBC's strategy for the last year of "Friends" in 2004, CBS said it is asking viewers to vote next month on their favorite episodes of "Everybody Loves Raymond." The top five vote-getters will be shown each Monday from Feb. 28 to March 28.

Fans can vote online for their favorites among 15 episodes selected by Rosenthal, with highlight clips shown on the network's Web site.

Since the first season, Rosenthal was producing what he hoped would be a timeless sitcom in an old television tradition.

"We're doing the show for CBS, but in the back of my mind we're doing it for Nick at Nite," he said. "We wanted the show to have lasting value."

Damnit, thats one of my favorite shows too!
edit: I say they'll probably end with Ray moving far away from his family to take a new job.

Dude Raymond always sucked huge.. thank god...

"Everybody hates that bastard raymond" woulda been my title for that show...

There was an episode a couple of months ago where Deborah was havinga PTA meeting (or some school meetin) in her house. I didn't catch the whole episode, but she came down in a short skirt and fvck-me boots on. She was looking friggen hot in that episode.

You aren't kidding. Very nice episode.

I've never seen one episode but I don't watch sitcoms to begin with (anymore). However, I respect any show like MASH or Seinfeld that goes out on top and doesn't wait until it's become stale and begins losing viewers.

Um, MASH was not on top when it went out and it was painfully stale at the end. The last episode was almost unwatchable.

This is CORRECT! MASH got Terrible and then oh god "After MASH" that REALLY BLEW CHUNKS.
