What are some of your favorite ELR episodes?

Self absorption is one of the major character flaws in the "hero" on this show.  I have a real aversion to selfish, self absorbed people so I don't find the show entertaining at all it just annoys me.

What are some of your favorite ELR episodes?

SOME of the episodes?? Looks like MOST of them!!

I like to watch it but I didn't see the original. I watch the reruns that come on at ten oclock at night here. Sometimes I watch while I post! I don't know the names of the shows....havent' seen all of them I think.

I like the brother and the parents. They are hilarious.

I liked the episode where Ray let Debra have the bathroom to herself and she decorated it so pretty...

Ray was so cute in these earlier seasons.


Here is a clip from Season One Episode 10:

Highlights from Turkey Or Fish?

Debra decides to cook a fish for Thanksgiving and Ray isn't very happy about it.

Please post your own Everybody Loves Raymond videos if you have any! 



Edit: I split up these videos and I am posting them separately to hopefully speed up this thread a little.

I think the one you are referring to Jess is called "The Sigh" from Season Seven. I love the big water fight they have in the bathroom at the end.

I laugh so hard while watching this show! I really like the one that shows Robert taking Deborah and Raymond to the hospital in to have a baby, and the boys both wind up in the back seat trying to help her.


Another one--Raymond sees Deb crying and she tries to get him to cry, but he can't. Then at the end he tries to make himself cry, but winds up dancing to Lady Marmalade or whatever that Patti LaBelle song is called. That one is so funny!

They are all pretty funny, tho.

Can anyone venture a guess as to why "YouTube" will NOT play on my computer anymore?

Hey Shasta! Yeah, those were both very funny episodes. The one where the boys help Debra deliver Ally is "Ally's Birth" from Season 5.

I think the other episode you are talking about is called "Alone Time" from Season 4.

I like the earlier episodes the best (Seasons 1-5). Once the show started winning awards, it almost seemed as if Ray Romano suddenly realized he was very funny and his character started to develop an arrogant attitude. Ray became much more bossy, loud and self assured (for lack of a better word). Did you notice this too? In the earlier seasons, Ray was rather shy, quiet and submissive. He was cuter in the earlier seasons, in my opinion. But the entire series was very good, and I like them all!

Gosh, I don't know Shasta. These videos take a very long time for me to watch since I'm on dial-up. So, I only watched the first ELR clip I posted. Maybe the other three are defective, or maybe I didn't post them correctly. I will go back and try to watch the second video, or at least a little of it (These 4 minute videos take about 45 minutes to load).

If this isn't the case Shasta, maybe you could send Phillip a pm and ask him about it. He's very good with computers and he was the one who set up this Youtube on Bettermost, so he might have an answer for you.

I never found Ray to be all that self absorbed. Well, maybe a little. Okay, a lot! But I've always felt Marie was the most self centered character in the show. Frank is a very close second. You're right though. Ray can be very self centered too. In fact, all of the characters can be like that. But I don't think Ray is anywhere close to Marie or Frank when it comes to self absorption or self centeredness.
