"The Angry Family" is the season six premiere of the American sitcom Everybody Loves Raymond (1996–2005), a series about the titular Newsday sportswriter Ray Barone (Ray Romano) and his oddball family. In the episode, all of the Barones are in a counseling session after Ray's son Michael (Sullivan Sweeten) presents a short story in class about an "Angry Family," which they assume is about them. Directed by Gary Halvorson and written by series creator and showrunner Philip Rosenthal, the episode also features early roles for future Empire star Rhyon Nicole Brown and Reba star Mitch Holleman. Originally broadcast on CBS on September 24, 2001, "The Angry Family" has been critically well-received and was nominated for a Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Writing for a Comedy Series.
