Everybody does love Raymond - at least for another season.

CBS sealed a deal to bring Ray Romano's Emmy-winning comedy Everybody Loves Raymond back for a ninth and final season, though only for 16 new episodes.

"I look forward to being a hapless, sexless husband again in year nine," said Romano, a producer and star of the show.

The Monday night comedy featuring Romano and his dysfunctional family won the 2003 Emmy for best comedy. The additional year was widely expected. Terms of the deal were not disclosed.

Most television shows make about 22 episodes a year.

Romano reportedly made about $1.8 million per episode this season. Brad Garrett, who plays Romano's brother in the series, held out for more money before filming started for this season. The other cast members, Patricia Heaton, Peter Boyle and Doris Roberts also reached new deals.
