\n\tTwenty years after Everybody Loves Raymond ended its nine-season run on CBS<\/a>, the family comedy remains a big draw on the network. Everybody Loves Raymond: 30th Anniversary Reunion<\/a> delivered 6.32M Live+Same Day viewers on CBS Monday night to become the most watched primetime entertainment special of the 2025-26 broadcast season to date in that category per Nielsen Live+SD Big Data + Panel Total Viewers.<\/p>\n

\n\tEverybody Loves Raymond: 30th Anniversary Reunion, which aired on Monday, the original series\u2019 longtime home, was the most-watched entertainment program on the night. In fact, the special topped the 2025-26 season average of every primetime non-sports program on broadcast except for CBS\u2019 60 Minutes and Tracker and ABC\u2019s Dancing With the Stars as well as Matlock\u2018s Sunday season premiere.<\/p>\n

\n\tAmong broadcast entertainment specials, the Raymond reunion was a tad below the Live+Same Day delivery of the Emmy Awards on CBS (7.59M), which aired before the official start of the 2025-26 season in September, and topped the eight other primetime specials that have aired since, including ABC\u2019s the CMA Awards (6.0M) and Golden Girls: 40 Years of Laughter and Friendship (3.4M) and NBC\u2019s Wicked: One Wonderful Night (2.6M).
