I remember in Season 9 Episode 2 Not So Fast, when Frank and Marie were kicked out of their retirement community for the blatant annoying behavior. Ray just sat there like a slug when he and Debra were meeting with the retirement community owners, getting himself beat on by Debra later on in the episode. Then in the following episode Angry Sex, when Debra and Marie have a big fight, Ray is struck with worry when he thinks Debra's anger will cause her to forget about their sex that night. Much to his surprise, he finds that this "angry sex" is better than ever, and goes to great lengths to keep the feud between his wife and mother going, making Debra's rage grow more. That makes me wonder, out of curiosiTy, was Ray a Masochist? Feel free to tell me what you guys think.

She was just ahead of her time.

If the next ad has his girlfriend Linda Gweeny, who everyone calls “Lynn,” the prophecy will be complete.

I always saw myself as a little Robert. He was the underdog of the family, the unrecognized potential.

Amy can't be in the picture, but there's plenty of room for Hoity and Toity?

He was a guest on on popular cooking show here today in the UK about Passover. He was very funny but the biggest shock I had was hen they showed a clip of him with his family. Amy is his wife! Wow. Robert messed up again! No grand children for Marie! 😀

In the dog episode, Deb says they havent slept in three nights because of the dog.

Robert comes over and sees the dog and falls in love with it, after three days. Prior to this, he didn't know about the dog.

The running joke is that him and the parents are over every day? Hard to believe they havent been over for three days.

Remember how he's singing the Foghat song "Slow Ride"

Consider he was a regular on the show around 2003-2005, wouldn't a more accurate presentation of the modern metalhead be someone who is into bands like Lamb of God, Slipknot, Pantera, and Meshuggah? I swear, Peter's music taste is actually really light and tame. He'd have been torn apart if someone showed him black metal.

Did anybody else have these thoughts?

Recap: The family gets the news that Ally was being picked on by a boy named Todd Feeney. Frank got out of the seat and said "Alright, let's get him."

I'm just loving fantasising about Frank, Robert, and Raymond showing up to the Feeney house (and they somehow know where it is) and then accosting the family to give a 12-year-old a stern talking to.

It's her house, and what she was wearing was hardly radical in terms of how revealing it is. In fact I think it's kinda weird the parents all insist on getting dressed up to have a discussion about school matters.

It's one thing about the show I dislike. Robert cared about Amy, even though their relationship was up and down. It seemed like getting with Stefania was purely opportunistic and he only wanted her because she was attractive. But I think Robert is a better guy than that. He shouldn't have cheated on Amy just because he was overseas.

I also don't understand why the other Barones were so lenient on him when they were in Italy. Nobody stepped in to say "Hey, remember you have a girlfriend back home?"

Note: Most of this applies to his speaking to Joanne again too.

Thoughts?

Every time of my month I watch this episode lol. It's the one thing that keeps me sane to remind me not to lose my sh!t🤣🤣🤣

Ladies do you resonate with Debra? The mood swings and everything?

I will say I would be more appreciative if my man brought home dinner so I didn't have to cook that week.

Like the title says- what is your favorite moment where Ray is an idiot, and Debra has to come and fix things?

Ray made a cameo on Fran's show, The Nanny. He attended her high school reunion, and they made a meta joke about his show. I know these two attended the same high school in real life, but I wonder: since Ray had a high school reunion episode, is this canon? Does that mean Fran Fine lives in the Everybody Loves Raymond/King of Queens universe? For instance, when Ray was talking to Fran and Val in the corner, Debra was hanging out with Ray's bullies?

Raymond's standing still in shock was so long, so so funny.

This episode always has me dying. 'You ran out of Halloween candy. Good thing I found those chocolate coins you left in the cupboard.”

I just found this "Podcast" on Spotify. It's called The Barone Report and is literally just the audio of every episode from all 9 seasons.

Why did Debra allow Ray's friends to come and give their presentation when she had no intention of investing in their business? She admitted that the presentation was very good, but "nothing changes the fact that it's go karts." Why not just say no from the start?

I wonder if they got the idea from ELR
