1:23 - "Go on Adam".. gets me every time, He's just exasperated. LMAO

PatrIcia Heaton and Doris Roberts OUTSTANDING ACTING SKILLS and of course outstanding writing and directing for those scenes. WOW. FUNNY!!!

This is one of Patricia's Heaton best part from the very start.

FRANK IS ALWAYS RIGHT! lol to " I think they found one." made me laugh so much

Imagine your husband warning you about living across the street from his parents and brother, you should be quiet. You were forewarned 😂

@actuary33 She subconsciously resents Ray for ruining her life too. She wasn't happy being married to him. Robert and Frank at least treated her with some level of respect and kindness, unlike that witch Marie.

One of the all time great monologues from ELR.

Frank told the truth, Marie can’t stand the fact that Debra married Ray because she feels that Debra stole her son away from her. Marie is the cause of all the family problems. She has to be the center of attention in the family.

I remember the episode. The twins were referring to some tv story or the like, which they admitted later. It was only the family's guilt reaction that led to this meeting.

Ray tried to warn Debra, i don't wanna hear it lol.

Possibly the most iconic moment from the show, especially 1:03

Frank is laying down truth in the eyes of God and Man.

Debra was very mild natured in the first season.It's only with each season she turned aggressive and loud little by little which shows her way of adapting to the in-laws.She is the only character which goes through a change in her nature because of the company she kept.

That look on Marie's face...then the "How dare you?"💀😅😂🤣 Frank was telling the truth tho.🤷🏾‍♂️

Eileen: We do have counselors. Father Hubley is very good. Ray: No, no. That's the last thing that we need. Eileen: Why do you say that? Ray: Because then everybody's talking about it and... Debra: Look what are you... Why do you have to be so closed minded? You see this is the attitude. Ray: I'm not close minded. Debra: Ugh! What are you doing? Right now? This is who you are! Why can't you just talk about things? Huh? Talk! Eileen: You know I have to say that you're actually exhibiting some of the very traits that seemed to jump off the page in Michael's book. Debra: Who? Eileen: Um. well, uh, you. Debra: Wait a minute. Wait a minute. Wait a minute. First of all, it's not a book. It's pieces of construction paper. Ray: You sound a bit close minded. Debra: Hey! Eileen, you have no idea what I have to put up with. When I got married I didn't just get a husband. I got an entire freak show that put up their tent right across the street. And that would be fine if they stayed there. But every day, *every* day. They drop a truckload of their insane family drek into my lap. How would you like to sit through two people in their sixties fighting over who invented the lawn? The lawn! And then the brother! "I live in an apartment. I don't even have a lawn. Raymond has a lawn." But you can't blame him when you see who the mother is. She has this sick hold on the both of them! And the father is about as disgusting a creature as God has ever dropped on this planet. So no wonder the kid writes stories! I should be writing stories! My life is a gothic novel. And until you have lived in that house with all of them in there with you, day after day, week after week, year after friggin' year, then you are in no position to judge me!

Frank was right. Marie never liked Debra!

1. Frank was Right. Marie could never get over the fact that her precious Raymond got married, so is over at Rays house everyday unannounced and uninvited and openly disrespects Debra as a wife and mother. 2. Ray did warn Debra about her family and she didn’t listen. So now has to live in the hell she created for herself.

Back in my day... Like they're the example of what's right and good lol

Technically she set up her tent across the street from the freak show.

I think Robert breaks character when Raymond knocks Debras hand away with the tissue.

Marie predicted the future of our downfall. Mediocrity failed us all.

I think is actually one of the best episodes of ELR as it gives a great message about family tension and how blaming everyone else for your problems just makes everything worse. Their counseling session proves this as Marie blames Debra for ruining everything, Robert blames Ray because he has everything, and Debra has a meltdown over her in-laws when she decided they would live across the street from them despite Rays endless warnings. Frank was the only one who spoke truth that Marie is the cause of their problems because of how psychotic she is and what did she do, act like she’s the last person to blame. The real problem with them is that none of them take personal responsibility and always think they deserve better which results in endless fighting. What’s worse is they never think about how it affects everyone around them because they only are concerned about themselves.

Is that a rhetorical question?

Yes they are dysfunctional

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 0:15

Debra is a wonderful woman from sister Lewis ❤️

Two scenes. Great actors. A laugh track. Omit the laugh track and have the actors perform the same two scenes without the comedic take. Not so funny anymore.

First like and comment!

One of the great shows in history.
