'Everybody' will miss Raymond
EVERYBODY LOVES RAYMOND: Gale M. Adler/CBS

MONDAY

MAY 16

SERIES FINALE 9-9:30PM Everybody Loves Raymond (CBS, TV-PG-L) After much fanfare, TV's most-watched sitcom comes to an end. While CBS declined to send us a copy of Raymond's finale, creator Phil Rosenthal did tell EW that this installment won't seem much different from the previous 209 — so don't expect Ray to get green-eyed over Robert, Frank to play kissy-face with Marie, or Debra to whip up a prize-winning meal. Here's hoping this finale is more Friends than Seinfeld — an episode that'll make us wonder why Ray Romano (left, with Patricia Heaton) insisted they end it after only nine years.

SEASON FINALE (PART 1) 8-9PM 7th Heaven (The WB, TV-G) This year's award winner for Best Continued Appearance by an Invisible Jessica Biel.

8-11PM Hercules (NBC, TV-14) Shhh, Kevin Sorbo. It's gonna be okay. Maybe they'll call you for the Xena movie.

SEASON FINALE 8-11PM The Bachelor (ABC, TV-PG-L) Lather. Rinse. Repeat. Snore.

9-10PM Forbidden Wedding (Sundance Channel, TV-14) Documentary about a paraplegic man in Brazil who can't get married because he can't have sex. Dear Roman Catholic Church: Hi. I'm confused. Exactly who can get married these days?

10-11PM CSI: Miami (CBS, TV-14-LSV) Eric Roberts guest-stars as a death-row inmate. Someone's seen the Killers' ''Mr. Brightside'' video too many times.
