David In Indy:
Highlights from Season One Episode One
Pilot Episode
Notice how physically agressive Marie is in these earlier episodes. Somewhere around the 10th episode of Season One, the producers of ELR sat down with Doris Roberts to discuss the character of Marie. They decided to make Marie less aggresive physically, but keep her "buttinsky" nosey, bossy and passive aggressive qualities intact.
About the same time, the producers also sat down with Brad Garrett to tweak Robert a little bit. They agreed Robert should be a little bit more pitiful. "You mean like Eeyore the Donkey from Winnie The Pooh?" asked Brad.
EXACTLY!!!
And so, a new and improved Marie and Robert were born, sometime during the middle of Season One.

Wow! I think I have too many videos posted in here because it now takes me about 10 minutes to open up this thread!
Oh well, I'll just suffer through it because I'm planning to post even more ELR videos if I can find them! :D
Did you notice all the differences in the Pilot episode? The living room is totally different; different furniture, different curtains, and even a different front door! Ray and Debra's master bedroom as also quite different in the pilot. The bed and dresser are different and there are no visible dormer windows. The kitchen has a different stove too.
This was because the budget was so tight for the pilot episode they had to borrow items from other sets, including Frank and Marie's kitchen which is actually the kitchen from the old All In The Family set. They only had use of one camera in the Pilot episode and they completely forgot to create an Intro for the opening show. The Intro was filmed in Ray's own backyard just several days before the Pilot aired on television. They filmed the entire intro in one day, and then quickly changed it for Episode two.
The twins are different too! Not only are the twins different but so are the names! In the Pilot, the twin's names are Matthew and Gregory. They decided to use Madylin Sweeten's real twin brothers, Sawyer and Sullivan staring in episode two, and changed the names to Michael and Geoffrey.
It was a rough start for Everybody Loves Raymond, but it sure did turn out good, didn't it? :D
