Reception[edit]
Critics at Variety ranked "Boys' Therapy" the fourth-best episode of any comedy series of the 2004–05 TV season, praising its handling of serious subject matter; claimed one of the critics, Neal Justin, "that the sitcom could touch on Frank’s (Peter Boyle) childhood abuse without sacrificing laughs is proof that the writers and Boyle are tremendous tightrope walkers."[1] Screen Rant ranked a line of the episode, "And I owe it all to Marie's Mouth," as the ninth best line in Everybody Loves Raymond spoken by Frank.[2] DVDTalk, in a season nine review, highlight "Boys' Therapy" as one of its "fun episodes."[3] Boyle was nominated for a Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Comedy Series for acting in "Boys' Therapy" and "Tasteless Frank;"[4] and Brentley Walton, Kathy Oldham, and John Bickelhaupt were nominated for Outstanding Multi-Camera Sound Mixing for a Series or Special for working on the episode.[5] "Boys' Therapy" was one of Boyle's favorite episodes of Everybody Loves Raymond.[6]
