If Raymond Barone had AIDS wouldn't Everybody Loves Raymond still be on today?

Forget that Peter Boyle's now dead. They could have worked him out of the script anyway. He could have had a hemerhoid rupture or something like that. But really, that show was going down the tubes since day one with the over 60 crowd, who made up it's base. Why didn't they make it fresher and more hip. Like maybe Raymond could have had a meth addiction from having to deal with that shrew of a wife. He started travelling places to get it and shoot it up and caught something. Maybe he could have brought it home to his wife. I mean really, they could have had some great conversations around Raymond's parent's kitchen table about the lesions caused from shooting drugs and the onset of their impending deaths. Now would hta thave been so bad? Imagine how funny it would have been when Ray's brother came in all akward and pronounced HIV "aitcheyebee". We would have all had a good laugh! The could have stretched one or two more solid seasons out of that scenariod. What do you think?
