Everybody Loves Raymond
David In Indy:
Wow! This thread is really running slow! I almost forgot what I was going to say! Does that ever happen to any of you?
No. Of course not. Ya'll are smart enough to NOT have dial-up! :laugh:
Another great ELR line (or actually LINES in this case) is from "Baggage" from Season 7. In this episode, Debra and Ray return home from a trip and park their suitcase on the landing of the staircase. Nobody wants to move it to the bedroom and so it sits there for about a week. Ray has to leave on a business trip and Debra is upset because Ray won't take the suitcase with him. Why? If he takes it, he gives in to Debra and Debra wins, so Ray decides to pack his clothes in plastic shopping bags instead. Just before Ray walks out the door he places a piece of Roquefort cheese inside the suitcase and then quickly darts out the front door. The next morning the house is beginning to smell quite ripe from the cheese.
Marie walks through the front door and sniffs the air with a disgusted look on her face...
Marie: "Debra. Are you cooking something?"
Debra: "No Marie. I'm not cooking anything."
Marie:" Well there's an aroma in here!"
Debra: "You know, I smell it too but I can't figure out where it's coming from."
They both start investigating the smell, and finally Debra tracks it to the suitcase. Debra unzips it, reaches her hand in there and pulls out the old, nasty piece of cheese.
Marie:" DEBRA!! You can't keep cheese in a suitcase!!"
:laugh: :laugh:
"Baggage" ended up being one of those episodes created from a real life experience. Actually about a third of the episodes were created based on the real life experiences of the writers. Sometimes if the writers couldn't think up a plot for the episode, they would all sit around the table and talk about what happened to each of them during the week. Sooner or later, somebody would mention something they could work with, and an episode would be created.
I think this is why the show is so lovable. Most of the episodes seem so real, as if they could actually happen to us. And in some cases, they probably have!
And now we know why! :D

David In Indy:
Somewhere around the middle of Season Five, the ELR producers started phasing out the use of intros at the beginning of each episode. Only occasionally did we see an intro during the Sixth Season. The producers did create a cute intro for Season Seven and Eight, but they only used them several times for each season. Instead, they would place the ELR stamp in the opening scene along with a few credits. And why did they decide to do this? Because the producers felt they needed all the air time possible in order to tell each story. And those extra 30 seconds were important and valuable. So, for the most part, we didn't see the intros any longer.
Below is the intro from Season Eight, Jungle Love....
(This clip is about 30 seconds)

David In Indy:
Season One, Episode Four
Highlights from "Standard Deviation"
In this episode Robert convinces Ray and Debra to take an IQ test. After the results are revealed, Ray learns that Debra scored 15 points higher, which drives him crazy... or does it? Later in the show, Robert announces he made a "mistake" and it was actually Ray who scored higher on the test, driving Debra nuts.
Notice Patricia Heaton's short hair in Season One. This was the only season in which she wore her hair this short. Starting with Season Two she has longer hair and she keeps it long throughout the rest of the series. :D
