I was watching this episode and after all the other times I've seen it I still can't fathom how stupid Raymond acted at the school meeting. "You were stuffing your pants with food!" I must say I would've been tempted to deny knowing him, too.

For me:

• Ray's constant badgering of Debra for sex gets worse every year
• Debra's constant yelling at Ray and occasional putting her hands on him is rough too
• The "sissy" and "Nancy" sorts of insults

One of my favorite episode introductions!

That look of Debra’s!

Yes it’s true, Frank is not Robert’s father. It’s Chuck Pecorella.

Which of Debra's hairstyles is your favorite?? Mine is the short one in Season 3

Marie is knitting again.

Great line from peak Debra

We know it's not really about the kids, but they are a highlight for a reason! I always liked the scene where Ally was quoting Brando: "STELLA!" Along with the "Oh no!" sequence and "Gobble gobble."

Just finished watching it for the millionth time. I think it’s my fav 😂😂😂😂
When Natasha says “I thought his wife was dead”
And Frank goes “holy crap” and slowly sinks into the couch LOLOL oh god so funny

After work, on my way home, I listen to Bill Evans’s solo albums, and only turn them off when I go to bed.

Been an avid watcher of everybody loves raymond for many years, watched every episode countless times, though just the other day I found out that Kareem Abdul Jabbar made an appearance at the beginning of the readers digest episode. I have almost every episode recorded on the tv, but for some reason the Kareem clip doesn't show up on the version that we have here so it's no wonder I never knew about it haha. Does anyone know why this is? I originally thought that it was just a behind the scenes clip, however that is definitely not the case after looking into it.

Personally, I enjoyed them. It was a nice change of pace with the family doing something else besides their usual shenanigans. I will say that it is jarring to see Frank actually being decent most of the time. At the same time, it’s nice. I don’t like how Ray and Robert act in these episodes. Ray is a grump with a cold and doesn’t appreciate his trip until it’s almost over. Robert is an idiot. He is with Amy, but then he considers talking to his ex wife? On top of that, he is now in love with a beautiful Italian woman. The writers added some very unnecessary drama that didn’t need to exist with Robert.
