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 listeners backstage and inside the writers’ room of one of America’s best-loved shows. With more than 17 million viewers and more than 70 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-listen for the show’s millions of devoted fans.

Only drawback are the long silent gaps that hinder the enjoyment of the book and throw the pace off - I don't know why they did that.
Loved it!

but I found this to be very funny and enjoyable.
I found many of the stories very easy to relate to and understand.
I wish more audio books could be like this one.
It is a must listen.
Maybe I will watch Raymond now. Who knows.
VERY FUNNY

My one criticism is the **frequent** gaps where there's no sound. At first they had me wondering if the book had stopped. They're particularly annoying because they often occur in the middle of the story. I've never experienced an audio book with gaps like this before. And, in another type of book it would have been a serious flaw. But, this book is so much fun that it's just a mild annoyance.
MEANT to be an Audio Book!

Anyway, I bought this because it was about writing. I'm into the fourth hour, and I can't turn the iPod off. Phil is funny and honest and insightful and kind. This is the first five-star rating I've given an audiobook. It's brilliant and genuine. I just wish somebody had written a book about my favorite tv series, Cheers, and done what this writer has done.
Great Storytelling

Phil has a genuine gift of storytelling that is not only humorous, but relatable.
From sharing his beginning struggles, to the finale of Raymond along with everything in between, this audiobook is a pure joy to listen to.
Thank you Phil!
What a joy to listen to!
