Product Description:
The creator and executive producer of Everybody Loves Raymond, on how to make a sitcom classic and keep laughing
This laugh-out-loud memoir takes readers backstage and inside the writers’ room of one of America’s best-loved shows. With more than 17 million viewers and more than seventy Emmy nominations—including two wins for best comedy—Everybody Loves Raymond reigned supreme in television comedy for almost a decade. Phil Rosenthal was there at the beginning. United by a shared lifetime of family dysfunction, he and Ray Romano found endless material to keep the show fresh and funny for its entire run. Alongside hilarious anecdotes from the series and his own career misadventures prior to working on the show, Rosenthal provides an enlightening and entertaining look at how sitcoms are written and characters developed. You’re Lucky You’re Funny is an inspiration to aspiring creators of comedy and a must read for the show’s millions of devoted fans.

I stumbled onto this book without realising that the author is responsible for Everybody Loves Raymond. It is impossible to stess just how unfunny I find that particular sitcom and its sledgehammer style. I persevered with the book but found nothing but boastful, self promotion and an opportunity for score settling with old foes. The author is convinced that he is responsible for an American Classic and delivers this information as fact, not opinion. Casting his own wife in the Raymond sitcom was ... Read More

If you're looking for a book with insight about Everybody Loves Raymond, this isn't it. Creator Phil Rosenthal has written an almost textbook-like overview of his background and how a sitcom is put together that makes for a fun read for TV fans.

Personally I liked it because I could relate to the author because he grew up watching the same TV shows that I did. I occasionally had to stop and re-read sections because I didn't understand an expression or phrase (I guess it came from "writing the way you talk"). ... Read More

What a fun book. I'm a huge fan of ELR, and now I know exactly why. The creator, writers, producers and actors delivered a product that was born of heart and soul. Phil Rosenthal explains this in exquisite detail in his book: "You're Luck You're Funny."
In my opinion ELR ranks as one of the best sitcoms ever, right up there with MASH, Mary Tyler Moore, All in the Family and The Cosby Show. The book is well written, poignant, hilarious and quite insightful. I so thoroughly enjoyed ... Read More

Great book by the creator, executive producer and writer of Everyone Loves Raymond. A facinating look at the effort behind the scenes of a hit sit com. Includes a lot about the politics of putting on a network program. I have watched only a very few episodes of this show however, I cannot recall a bad episode. Now I know why.
