"'Everybody Loves Raymond' is one of TV's quintessential comedies, and we are thrilled to have the Barones join the TV Land family," TV Land president Larry Jones said. In addition to "Raymond," TV Land has picked up the rights to "Boston Legal," "Home Improvement" and "The Nanny," all of which are set to air next year. "Boston," starring William Shatner and James Spader, and "Improvement," starring Tim Allen and Patricia Richardson, are slated for the first quarter; "Raymond" will premiere in the second quarter; and "Nanny," with Fran Drescher, is set for the third quarter. All will air as part of Prime. 'Everybody Loves Raymond' returns to TVTV Land to air family sitcom in Prime programming blockOct 6, 2009, 06:16 PM ET
