In the episode when POS husband Ray went golfing while Debra went camping with the kids, she came home filthy and mentioned how she was so sick of the mud, etc. Then she took her filthy, muddy bag and plopped it up on the kitchen counter where the cutting board is. I couldn't believe anyone would have done such a thing. If that bag had to come into the house at all, it should've stayed on the floor. I would have left a bag like that on the garage floor and unpacked it there.

This made no sense.

It always annoys me to rewatch and watch Ray think that he’s above Robert and Peter because he’s married with kids when Deborah is the only thing that rescued him from the same life that Robert and Peter were both living. Which was Living at home well into your 30s with your parents. Even without the promotion at the newspaper, Ray would’ve still been living at home. He was 29 when he met Deborah.

It seems like she already had her mind made up about Go Karts so why did she make them waste their time doing a presentation if she already knew she wouldn’t let Ray invest? I don’t know why this plot point bothers me so much but it does. 🤣 It didn’t seem like a bad business idea at all and he said Walter’s dad owned an amusement park and Scott is an engineer.

his comedic timing is gold i love him

The Super Bowl EP is one that I like to skip. It's the one episode where I can see both sides of the argument, but I lean closer to siding with Ray. Ray is a sports writer, of course this is huge for him. Debra also wanting to have the experience with him was fair, but I do think she once again acted like a brat. And the ripping of the tickets was so annoying. Poor Gianni, he was the true victim of the episode.

Gianni was Ray’s friend throughout the series, but I don’t think he was “Gianni” when he appeared as the cable guy in season one, even though he was in Ray’s life prior to events in season one.

Do you think Robert and Debra would have been a better match?

He's a better listener

He appreciates strong women

They seem to have a similar level of maturity

He loved to go dancing and seemed to be much more fun than Ray.

He was amazing with the kids.

Now, I know it wouldn't have worked in the actual show. But generally, do you think they'd have been better suited?

This show actually had some bangers. One I loved where when Debra was mad at Ray for the Christmas incident and Ray says “Come on it’s Christmas! What about Jesus?!”

When Ray says Peggy is his arch enemy and Robert mocks him. “Oh you have an arch enemy. What are you a superhero now?!”

Robert trying to impress his future in laws. “Church every Sunday! Absolutely God fearing people. We’re scared to death!”

Ray badmouthing the annoying kid. Debra says “He’s eight.” Then Ray says “That’s forty in weasel years!”

Robert getting mad a Ray for not giving him the other ticket. “Just remember your number one Ray. You’re number one!!! But know this: One is the loneliest number that you’ll ever know.”

Ray defending not voting for Debra and instead Bill Parker. “You hate Bill Parker.”
“I hate Bill Parker the man! But Bill Parker the candidate had an interesting platform!”

Robert trying to sound professional. “ it allows me see this family from a rather unique vantage point.”
Ray putting him down “top of the beanstalk?”
