I don't think there is an episode that makes my blood boil more than this one. It's just horrible, and the writers couldn't help themselves with piling on the shame and humiliation on Robert. Again.
I know. I know, this the show's formula and premise-everyone just loves the weasely, whiny, useless Raymond.
It's sad really that Robert has to fight for attention, and sympathy from everyone, not just his mother.
I wish there had been an episode akeen to "Crazy Chin" thay focused more on Marie and her decision/reason to devote all her love and attention on Ray. -

You're absolutely right. But to be fair (now that this forum is coming to an end and at this point I'm pretty much burned out on ranting and bitching about how much I hate this show and it's stupid characters) Marie did sometimes show that she loved Robert. Like "The Suit" for example. She sabotaged his job interview with the FBI because she "cared about him so much", LOL. And in all the episodes where she wanted him to be with somebody that made him happy (which turned out to be Amy, the woman that Marie always liked anyway) and that might give her more grandchildren. I have to say that after re-watching the entire series over again, no main character on this show was actually 100% evil or unlikable. They made me laugh. At times they made me rage too, but I got over that. Life's too short, anyway. That's pretty much it. Oh, and like I said before, I loved how Pat stood up to Hank and told him that if she didnt have her cigarettes she would have to fight him. I always liked that part!
