That always threw me, too. Not having watched the whole series front to back, Frank always struck me as gruff & crotchety for their own sake. But seeing moments where there really was some softness at his core really got you. And God...Frank talking about how his father hit him & saying he tried hard not to be like him, how would YOU respond sitting across from him & hearing that?
I love this show and when Robert was talking about there may not be another half for him I really felt bad for him because I know if Marie wouldn't have kept on pushing him I really felt that Robert would have been fine. The simple matter is that what Robert said is true...maybe there isn't another half out there. Some people are just going to be alone. Yes it may be sad and depressing but it's the truth.
Same. I remembered watching it the first time when it first aired. Debra's expressions were spot on, especially knowing that she could lose the love of her life.
men like frank were screwed they wanted to be better than their fathers but had no idea how cause they were never taught how. being different got them beat up so they never learned how to express themselves. Ive learned that just because guys like him might not know how to say it or even really show it it doesnt mean they dont care and dont love you.
The part that touched me the most was actually when Frank said "Hey Son" if you generally knows his usual character you'll know what I'm talking about.
It's mad I thought that was the strongest part I was only watching it today its two simple words but you can tell Frank sold them wish they would have went into it a bit more in the next episode
@@wspencerwatkins I'm guessing they are annoyed because Marie could be incredibly manipulative, and this is one of the few moments in the show where she acknowledges that she knows exactly what she's doing. But I actually like this episode for that reason. Because despite the misguided nature of her meddling, we can see that it comes from a place of love. I also love that symbolism in this episode....Marie is a tough cookie to crack, and it takes a literal FBI agent grilling her, before she finally lets down her guard enough to tell the truth about how she feels. It's a very raw moment but the fact that it happens at the hands of the FBI is a layer of humor that I don't think everyone always gets.
@PowerDiva Exactly, despite her endless meddling, Marie usually knows exactly what she's doing. She had a small outburst during the "Ride Along" episode, where we saw there that she didn't like to think about the danger in Roberts' job. But instead of breaking down she dotes... and smothers (and low key sabotages). I loved this performance- there is more vulnerability here than Marie would ever normally show.
@@PapaLobo94 Yeah it seem to me that she only ever cared about Ray and Robert was not even on her radar. The only time she focused on him was to ruin anything good that came his way and then trying to justify it by claiming to be a loving and caring mother.
When Robert says he can't find his other half I no how the poor bastard feels, walking through life everyday alone with no one to talk to or come home to after work. Loneliness is a killer.
Tavon Fenwick be strong and keep going, don't give up, there is no age limit to meeting someone and starting a new. Just dont give up, don't commit suicide, there is a reason you're here, to help others, do volunteer work, and work with churches. I go through life with depression and sadness, and I'm scared to get hurt because I have such a good heart and a genuine good person I'm afraid someone will take advantage of me and hurt me. But I will not kill myself because I am too scared, and I don't want to leave my nephew and niece's behide, Its a hard road, trust me I know but keep on, keeping on. Wish you all the best, I'm so sorry you had to endure so much cruelty and sadness. Just hang in there and be strong.
@@Rockhound6165 Absolutely, he’s flawed like any human being but he really loves his family. I love the scene where he’s in the hospital after falling through Ray & Debra’s staircase after trying to fix the steps and we learn how meaningful his relationship with Ray really is to him. He really considers them to be close with each other and doesn’t even get mad when Ray confesses that he and Debra didn’t fall down the stairs. Frank was such a complex character.
My dad drank a lot he was old school tough WW2 vet, The night before passed away he got up from the kitchen table looked at me and said "good night Son" I was 14 years old he was 52. I went to bed that night feeling like something is very strange. He never showed kindness or softness. That was 1972...I'll never forget that moment. I loved him and I know he loved me. It was his generation they lived a hard life and they didn't get much affection from their parents. He raise 5 kids. He built the house we all grew up in. Its to bad he didn't live long enough to see how good his kids turned out...he would have been proud and I know he would have softened up. RIP Dad \\
ma21 I think getting a slap or belt for being bad is ok but if he actually beats you close fist and physically damages you instead of just a sting it is a serious issue.
Years later, probably 60 years later, it still haunts him. One of my favorite aspects of that scene is that they actually don't suggest that Frank was 'stronger' (or, his father was 'weaker') - just different. Robert didn't want to invite that type of comparison, and there's no way Frank would either.
@@JoeMama-dy6op But that's what his father was probably doing. He didn't say he got hit only when he was naughty but he got hit everyday. He didn't hit his kids because he was afraid he would end up like his father and not be able to stop.
That's exactly what happened to my father. He never laid a hand on me and my two brothers to discipline us but we never knew why until my mother told us after my father passed away.
Just watched that episode and cried again at that scene. Doris was brilliant! ...and 10 seconds later hysterical again when she responded to the FBI director when he said Robbie wasn't quite good enough. She could turn from one emotion to another on a dime perfectly! RIP Doris :(
She was awesome. There were times I got so angry at Marie, but I loved her too. I remember being really mad at her for ruining Robert's suit and all, but when she said all that it showed that she really did love Robert and just didn't want him getting hurt.
what i like about that scene is not a lot of words needed to be conveyed cause these guys aren't the kind of guys who really speak out loud about emotions, but the meaning from those words was there, and they all got it and they realized what it meant. The way frank looks at Robert and ray and they look back was great. Show don't tell personified.
Another sad moment from the finale was when Ray asked everyone how they reacted when they thought he had died and he was mocking Debra and Frank told him off, saying that he saw Debra fall apart and hoped that he would never have to see that again. There are three truly pure moments of Frank Barone - that one, the one where he said he didn't want to be like his father and the one when he talks to Ray and confronts the men at the lodge about how they talk about Debra.
That finale is brilliance. Everyone has their point of view with sitcoms and particularly with how they end but that one is damned near perfect. What you are missing is it is NOT about Ray. Its not supposed to be. It is about the family. Every single family member has an unforgettable moment in that episode. Deb breaking down and immediately calling on Robert, Robert's reaction of true love for his brother, Frank showing how much he truly loves Marie when he is thinking about it later, Marie cooking for the whole family as the series fades. Through all that, the episode still is mainly jokes. Jokes that hit. That is not easy to do. I honestly think that is the best series finale of any long running network sitcom.
actually i would argue that ray does grow a bit, he's not going to be fixed over-night, but he shows debra in his own way he cares about her truly, and then at the end when everyone is eating, they say the tables to small, rather then some quip or telling anyone to leave, ray says, "then we need a bigger table." With one of the points of the series being how ray and Debra hate the parents coming over so much for ray to say, "well we need to include room for everyone," was a great line to leave the series on. after all the series is not about ray it's about the family.
I watched an episode when Frank and Marie are arguing in bed and he walks out the room and comes back with a cloth. He wipes the face mask off her face and tells her he prefers her without it. Its so sutble but it made me see Frank stuggled to show emotion but truely loved her just as she was right there.
He always had a soft spot for Debra; taking the fall for her with the canister, defending her from his lodge buddies’ crude comments and of course that speech in the last episode. She was like a daughter to him.
@@debbiecopello1583 definitely so true. My other half ended up being my best friend ! We were friends for 7 years before we started dating! Now we just celebrated 8 months and want to get engaged next year! I couldn’t be happier!
Marie talking about how she can't watch Robert have another dangerous job always gets to me. Doris plays a lot of different emotions at once and you can see all of them. Being eerily calm when she says "I can't do it" instead of yelling was a fantastic choice. It shows just how truly tired of worrying she is.
such a great scene. I love the scene when Marie defended Robert, after Joann dumped him, and, later on when she's giving advice to Ray/Debra and Robert/Amy
This episode was so great. Starts out with the usual meddling Marie, smiling the whole way and seemingly innocently screwing things up for Robert. Here we see a rare moment of clarity. She's finally honest about her intentions and reasons for doing the things she does. I also love that it took an FBI agent to pull it out of her.... that's some great writing. Marie finally met her match lol.
Zia M. They really are brilliant with their delivery. The pauses and stutters they fit into their lines really makes you forget that the whole thing is scripted. In modern sitcoms, everyone says their lines so flawlessly that it seems like a grade school play.The writers are brilliant as well. The beauty of this show is that there aren't multiple stories going on in the same episode. Everyone seems to find some way to get involved in the main issue. And the conversations are brilliant. Think about how in modern day sitcoms, the longest continuous conversations last maybe a few minutes. The writers of these shows have trouble coming up with creative ways of evolving the discussion as it happens, so they choose to stop them constantly and switch scenes all the time. In ELR, one conversation might last over half the episode, and they find very natural ways of getting all characters involved. They take you on a journey instead of asking you to refocus on a different situation.
Rest In Peace Marie.. She was an amazing actor. Everybody Loves Raymond was one of those shows from my childhood. I still watch it til this day, I was watching it today when I found out about her passing. She will be missed.. She's up there in peace with Frank & Geoffrey now ❤️
He had a stroke in 1990 that left him unable to speak or walk, but he recovered enough to return to acting. It was in season 3 (1999) that he had another heart attack on set of this show and mostly recovered, but yes, you can see him slowly decline in health through the rest of the series. He died less than a year after it ended.
It reminded me of Howard "Floyd the Barber" McNear on "TAGS"; he had to sit in a chair for the rest of the series. And Ellen "Grandma Walton" Corby. She had a bad stroke during season 4 or 5, and when she finally came back, she had to sit in a chair, she could hardly speak and when she did stand, she had to use a cane or walker.
A touching scene (not sad) for me was when Frank removed Marie's facial cream as they laid in their bed. She begged him not to, but he continued. I forgot what he said, but I think he simply wanted to hold her and love her.
Out of her four Emmy-winning episodes, that one is probably my favorite. It gives us a view into Marie's mind we never thought we'd see, it's the first time we see just how much she loves Robert. In the second season, we see a little bit of her fear for Robert's life but nothing like in "Lucky Suit."
Both she and Brad Garrett won for this episode. I saw a bio on Doris (RIP) and Brad joked he rode Doris' coattails to that Emmy because of Doris' work in that scene (even though his hilarious breakdown when he confronts Marie earned him that win.)
@@Ifeelpretty21 Notice that even though Ray is Marie's favorite, the only times we've seen Marie become truly emotional and angry is whenever Robert is involved.
9EvilHater9 OLD SKOOL are you kidding me you fucking piece of shit??! Mental illness and suicide is not "punking out". Go read a book! I agree RIP to all of them
*UPDATE* (four years ago i made this comment that grabbed a lot of negative and positive attention. I was engaged to a man who i spent seven years wit (on and off) , he passed away two years ago. I am now trying to move forward with my life at age now 27, although I have met someone else since my fiance's passing, I have grown to accept whatever life gives to me. I cried when Robert said there may be no other half for him. I'm almost 24 living in a world where all my friends are now married with kids and I'm barely trying to get through college. I want to marry someday but somehow i always get my heart broken and it ruins me each and every time. As each relationships fails, my own heart starts to fall apart piece by piece. I feel like maybe i need to accept there's no one out there for me. I may be young but this feeling i have is something i cannot get rid of. I've been feeling this way since i was 15, and i may feel it for the rest of my life. Great show
I'm sorry you feel like that. I'm 32 and I've always been shy and awkward around women; I also have an emotional disability that makes it hard to read people. I could not count the number of women I have had crushes or infatuations with, who didn't return it. Four years ago, I fell in love with a young woman over the Internet who seemed to like me. We shared a lot of interests, we were supposedly both shy and socially awkward and had been emotional abused by various people over the years. No, after two years of chatting online, I realized she was stringing me along. She had a very hard outer shell that was actually quite brittle; underneath she was explosive. I inadvertently wrote a comment to her in an e-mail that she disliked and when I didn't apologize immediately, she exploded at me and cut me off completely. I've been heart broken ever since and from time to time, say that that's it, I'm done, there can't be anyone for me, forget it, I'm done getting my heart put through the meat grinder of love. But I refuse to believe that. Everyone has another half. Your heart is always intact; it can take a lot. You may have pieces that are bruised but it is always whole. 24 is pretty young. Don't give up. You're a beautiful young woman, you will find someone, maybe when you least expect it. Best wishes to you.
See that's the problem. You think your life will be incomplete unless you find a partner. Whoever is telling you this are liars. You do NOT need a partner. You were not born on this planet to make someone else happy nor vice versa. You were born because God needed you for a special purpose. Whatever that special purpose may be is your business. The point is do NOT put a man before God, do NOT put a man before your family, do NOT put a man before your principles, do NOT put a man before your dream, do NOT put a man before your possessions, do NOT put a man before your freedom. You are an independent woman, you just need to search inside yourself and have the fortitude to tell the world, "take me or leave me."
Sweetie, I'm almost 50, and I am devoutly thankful that I never married or bred! Life is full of surprises though, and you never know what may happen next year, or next week. 24 is far too young to be worried about whether you marry or not, concentrate on your studies, they will keep you warmer than any man ever will, and won't vomit down your back. PS your friends are envious of you!
This explains why most of them in the show got prestigious awards: They could make you complain about too much laughing on their funny lines but at the same time they could also make you feel devastated on those sad moments. Epic! Kuddos to them🙌🙌🙌. I hope some of the original casts here could make a reunion project. RIP DORIS, PETER & SAYWER.
Watch how I met your mother all way through. At my lowest after having my heart broken I watched it and it made me believe in love again. Stay strong brother it will happen
You're not alone Sam. I came to the same realization a very long time ago. Not finding that special one to share your life with is heartbreaking and contributes to depression and apathy. The thought of dying alone is a hard pill to swallow but that's where I'm headed. I think I understand why some people kill themselves. After a while you wonder if living a lonely existence is worth it or not.
@@gregh7400 I don't know how old you are but.never give up on love. I remarried at age 42 to a wonderful man for 25 yrs. He died and its been hard but even at my age of 72 I still believe in love. Don't kill yourself that is not the answer. Draw near to God and friends. Good luck.
Barbara - Thanks for the kind words. I'm 56 and the chances now of finding someone is less than ever. I'll go on with my life, but it doesn't really matter anymore. If I died tomorrow that would be okay. I've had enough.
Greg H me too. After two failed marriages I didn’t have the heart to look again. Content that I have some good friends and four great kids who won’t let me get lonely.
I really like robert's character. Definitely someone who was misunderstood, couldn't find love at first, a normal guy working as a police officer risking his life everyday on the job and showing compassion towards his brother who gets most of love and affection from his mother after hearing him not wake up from anesthesia. Those are the best characters, the one's who have a great heart and either don't expect much or don't get much but still shows love for others.
I don't know why, but for some reason, the scene from She's The One always got to me the most. That acknowledgment of loneliness that we don't want to admit. And especially when even Frank, the toughest of the bunch, calls out, "Hey, son..." then you know there's some serious shit going down.
I have people I can talk to, but it's not the same as having that someone special in your life. This is a big chunk of why I have to take 4 depression meds daily.
60 isn't old. I'm 61, and I don't look old either. I still have a nice figure, and my hair is long and still dark. Most people think I'm in my 40s. And I don't have arthritis, heart problems, diabetes, eye or hearing problems either. The only thing I have is full mouth implants. Good genes mostly, I guess.
I almost cried when Robert said maybe there's no other half for him, the way he said it broke my 💔, and then Frank said "hey son", and yeah, that did it for me!
This show was filled with brilliant acting along with the comic moments. One extremely moving scene that always gets me involved Debra and her father talking about his separation from Debra's mother. It's a heartbreaking moment.
Poignant scenes. It just shows that ELR wasn't just a joke fest - there were a lot of sad moments that reflected real life. (You left out a great scene: Ray and Robert in the car, fighting over who Marie should eventually live with, arguing who loves her more).
Three scenes showing how Frank has emotions even though he always act like a stubborn ass... The raw emotion he has when shouting, "A LOVELESS MARRIAGE!!?" gets me everytime
2:40 This scene always hit me hard because my dad had a very rough childhood. His dad was an abusive alcoholic drunk who always beat him for the stupidest mistakes. My dad never hit me. Sure he raised his voice and was strict but he never hit me. And unlike his father he was always and even as an adult is STILL there for me. Even though he and my mother separated more than ten years ago. You can tell that deep down under Franks crude humor, tough guy macho man exterior he's always had a soft spot.
In my view, "Everybody Loves Raymond" is a modern-day classic, right up there with 'I Love Lucy' and 'The Andy Griffith Show'. 50 years from now, our descendants will be watching all of these shows.
Love these moments. Makes you see that even though they spend most of the time making fun of each other, when it comes down to it they love each other and they always have each others back. Just like a real family. That's great writing, great acting and great story telling
With the passing of Doris, the other day, I've been crying like I lost my own mother. I never really watched this show when it was on the air. My parents loved it. I only started watching the reruns a year ago and now I watch it nightly. I love all of the characters and I truly believe EVERY episode is AMAZING. This show NEVER jumped the shark and went out on top. Now with Marie & Frank, gone, there will never be a chance for a reunion show. :( Isn't it ironic how realistic Doris's & Peter's deaths happened, like most children's parents passings happen? First, the husband dies, then the wife. R.I.P. Doris, Peter & Sawyer.
Poor Sawyer, killing himself. Sadly, he fell into that trap that a lot of child stars fall into, their TV show going of the air, growing up and not being as cute anymore, being typecast and not getting any or very little work or winding up working at a Wal-Mart or someplace like that, where people ask, "Didn't you used to be on whatever and you played whoever?? Why are you working here??". Thbat must be so embarrassing.
there is that time after ray got out from the hospital and started acting strange in what dabra was thinking while he was in that operation room... then Frank said " hey, I never saw dabra cried that much and i never want her crying again" that was legit a touching moment.
The I hate my mom scene always gets me. Our kids grow up so fast. And that empty nest thing happens all of a sudden and then... it's just quiet. And you wonder if you were a good mom.
Wow when Marie talks about reading the journal..."I hate my Mom". That cuts to the heart. ELR is such a great show. So many tender moments amid the comical!
When Robert says “maybe there is no other half”, it hit me real good. I’m going to be 23 in February, and I haven’t really had a serious, months-long relationship yet (it’s all been casual) and I see people I graduated from high school and college getting either married, engaged, having a baby, or some kind of combination of that. And I’m over here like, “did I not get the memo”?
I’m the same, I turn 24 next year, and it makes me feel really out of the “norm” I think for some of us, we just won’t have that many relationships in our lifetime, idk I was writing to try and make you feel better and now I’m bummed lol.
The first-class acting is what made these scenes so emotional and real for many viewers. My personal favorite is Marie’s speech to the FBI agent, when she so movingly reveals her concerns for Robert’s safety.
Ray’s Journal made me think back to a time where I was ride to my parents in my childhood. I started crying which I haven’t done for many years now. I did something similar to what Ray did in his journal and my parents only deserve the best, not what I gave them. I love them so much.
This was one of the finest programs to hit the air waves.....The cast was magnificent.....It's been a pleasure to watch & wish it could have gone on FOREVER...!!
Marie's heartbreak was palpable in that clip, especially when she told Debra she would not wish that on her. Those moments when it seemed Marie & Debra in fact did have some common ground seemed harder to come by, but oh when they did come...
That's just the way it is, I guess. When I watched the last episode of M*A*S*H 35 years ago, I didn't really cry until Hawk and B.J. were saying goodbye to each other. Now I start bawling even before the gang starts saying goodbye to each other.
Robert always thought that Marie loved Raymond more because he was the, “favorite”. In reality, Marie fawned over Raymond more because she knew Robert was much stronger and self-sufficient. Therefore, he didn’t need to be babied like Raymond did.
I relate to Robert on a spiritual level. I’m still young, 24, but it feels like I’m going to walk the rest of my life with no one by my side apart from my dogs. That’s sad, huh.
Marie is such a great character. She reminds me so much of my own grandmother... I hope I'll have her around for a few more years, but she's been recently diagnosed with dementia and I haven't seen her in one year because I've moved to the opposite side of the world... Sad times.
The hitting part always gets me upset for some reason. Frank tells us it's just the way it was, but you know at that time everyone was a selfish @$$. Some of us actually know from that experience first hand and never learn how to forgive because of that.
voltz15 So very sorry you endured abuse! 😢 I hope that you have been able to participate in some type of therapy (either individual or group) at some point, just to work through things with those who understand. I totally get it is very hard to forgive. I know from past experience, it is helpful to remind oneself that the root of the problem was something on their part, not on me. Also, it is highly beneficial and healing, if a person can decide they are not going to let the abuse eat at them anymore. These are, in their ways, tremendous steps toward healing and getting over the pain and the dominance it once had over one's life. Hope this helps in any way.
Plus, he & Marie grew up & raised children at a time when that was basically considered normal parenting. It was wrong then as it is now, but sometimes there is truth to someone being "products of their time". Times change, philosophies change & hopefully, you grow & adapt. Nowadays, what they did would be thought of as either helicopter parenting, at best or child abuse, at worst. Cycles can be broken.
I used to be so angry at my mother. We got hit, but not out meanness, it was meant to teach us. One day when I was adult I had another disagreement with my mother and I really thought about. I had a choice, I could cut her out of my life or learn to live with who she was. I chose the latter and I'm glad I did. She mellowed when she became a grandmother and great-grandmother. She's gone and I miss her every damn day.

when robert said there is no other half ...the way he said "for this" ...was epic acting right in the feels
Oh my gosh that was phenomenal acting
frank calling out "son" is what got me how serious this was
AJBfc Right!! Oh my gosh it breaks you.
That always threw me, too. Not having watched the whole series front to back, Frank always struck me as gruff & crotchety for their own sake. But seeing moments where there really was some softness at his core really got you.
And God...Frank talking about how his father hit him & saying he tried hard not to be like him, how would YOU respond sitting across from him & hearing that?
I love this show and when Robert was talking about there may not be another half for him I really felt bad for him because I know if Marie wouldn't have kept on pushing him I really felt that Robert would have been fine. The simple matter is that what Robert said is true...maybe there isn't another half out there. Some people are just going to be alone. Yes it may be sad and depressing but it's the truth.
1:10
The way Debra immediately turns to Robert for help without even thinking about it always gets to me. They really were like brother and sister.
Hadn’t seen it for years and started crying instantly
Same. I remembered watching it the first time when it first aired. Debra's expressions were spot on, especially knowing that she could lose the love of her life.
Yes
Great Actor w Marie
Nice tribute
I love how Frank is actually insulted by Marie suggesting he doesnt love her
Oh my gosh! I missed that 🙈. I was thinking he is super mean breaking her glasses.
men like frank were screwed they wanted to be better than their fathers but had no idea how cause they were never taught how. being different got them beat up so they never learned how to express themselves. Ive learned that just because guys like him might not know how to say it or even really show it it doesnt mean they dont care and dont love you.
@@flabberGiSTedI mean you’re not wrong. No matter how angry he was, it’s never ok to break your spouse’s stuff especially medical stuff
The part that touched me the most was actually when Frank said "Hey Son" if you generally knows his usual character you'll know what I'm talking about.
You knew it was serious when even Frank spoke up & did not have a joke at hand.
Even Ray saying "Hey come on man..." Has an impact as you can tell in that moment he's worried about his brother
that was when you realised how much Robert meant to his father and Ray.
Thank You! That’s exactly what I thought. It’s like that part is no other
It's mad I thought that was the strongest part I was only watching it today its two simple words but you can tell Frank sold them wish they would have went into it a bit more in the next episode
"He was supposed to retire..." Man, that scene chokes me up every time - so powerful and moving.
Touching as this was, that whole episode really annoyed me
@@PapaLobo94 why? It’s one of my favs
@@wspencerwatkins I'm guessing they are annoyed because Marie could be incredibly manipulative, and this is one of the few moments in the show where she acknowledges that she knows exactly what she's doing. But I actually like this episode for that reason. Because despite the misguided nature of her meddling, we can see that it comes from a place of love.
I also love that symbolism in this episode....Marie is a tough cookie to crack, and it takes a literal FBI agent grilling her, before she finally lets down her guard enough to tell the truth about how she feels. It's a very raw moment but the fact that it happens at the hands of the FBI is a layer of humor that I don't think everyone always gets.
@PowerDiva Exactly, despite her endless meddling, Marie usually knows exactly what she's doing.

@@PapaLobo94 Yeah it seem to me that she only ever cared about Ray and Robert was not even on her radar. The only time she focused on him was to ruin anything good that came his way and then trying to justify it by claiming to be a loving and caring mother.
The scene with Debra and Robert reacting to Ray not waking up from surgery might be the best acting moment to come out of the show.
I Agree 100%!
Patrick's Crazy Place That wasn't even all that good....
Patrick's Crazy Place I love how Robert was the strong one in that scene he wAs gonna go wake Robert up
My favorite part from that episode is later on when he looks at Deborah says.....you liiiike mee
***** Wow The Way Marie Gets Upset is The Best Acting From a Mother I've Seen On a TV Show!
When Robert says he can't find his other half I no how the poor bastard feels, walking through life everyday alone with no one to talk to or come home to after work. Loneliness is a killer.
traveler4life123, you are in excellent company.
Yeah......
I had the love of my life when I was 14. I'll never find anyone like her again. Been trying for almost 30 years.
Tavon Fenwick Hang in there!! There's so much to life: volunteering, rescuing animals, etc. You can find your niche, I did!!
Tavon Fenwick be strong and keep going, don't give up, there is no age limit to meeting someone and starting a new. Just dont give up, don't commit suicide, there is a reason you're here, to help others, do volunteer work, and work with churches. I go through life with depression and sadness, and I'm scared to get hurt because I have such a good heart and a genuine good person I'm afraid someone will take advantage of me and hurt me. But I will not kill myself because I am too scared, and I don't want to leave my nephew and niece's behide, Its a hard road, trust me I know but keep on, keeping on. Wish you all the best, I'm so sorry you had to endure so much cruelty and sadness. Just hang in there and be strong.
I like how their dad did not want to be like his own father.
Who knew that two words ("I didn't.") could be so devastating?
LBF522 yaasss he broke the cycle
And he said 'I was always weaker than him'
Pfft you didn't hit your kids because you were STRONGER than him, not weaker
If I remember correctly, he lied. He invented that's story
Nope that story was true
1:52 Frank getting up from the chair and saying "Hey, son" to Robert
That's when you know the shit's real.
Oh make no mistake. Frank in his way is a wonderful father. Loves his children.
@@Rockhound6165 Absolutely, he’s flawed like any human being but he really loves his family. I love the scene where he’s in the hospital after falling through Ray & Debra’s staircase after trying to fix the steps and we learn how meaningful his relationship with Ray really is to him. He really considers them to be close with each other and doesn’t even get mad when Ray confesses that he and Debra didn’t fall down the stairs. Frank was such a complex character.
That's what I was thinking
My dad drank a lot he was old school tough WW2 vet, The night before passed away he got up from the kitchen table looked at me and said "good night Son" I was 14 years old he was 52. I went to bed that night feeling like something is very strange. He never showed kindness or softness. That was 1972...I'll never forget that moment. I loved him and I know he loved me. It was his generation they lived a hard life and they didn't get much affection from their parents. He raise 5 kids. He built the house we all grew up in. Its to bad he didn't live long enough to see how good his kids turned out...he would have been proud and I know he would have softened up. RIP Dad
\\
"Sure, I got hit everyday." The way he said it, I immediately started crying
@@Ma21L and that's sad. No need to tell others to stop being soft. It's not soft to recognise another's pain.
ma21l thats the reason you want him to stop being soft, you think it happened to you think people are soft.
ma21l I mean Frank clearly was damaged from it psychologically because he felt weaker than his dad.
ma21
I think getting a slap or belt for being bad is ok but if he actually beats you close fist and physically damages you instead of just a sting it is a serious issue.
ma21l a belt? Lmao.
Frank: I was always weaker than him.
No, you were stronger than he was because you didn't hit your kids. 💔
Years later, probably 60 years later, it still haunts him. One of my favorite aspects of that scene is that they actually don't suggest that Frank was 'stronger' (or, his father was 'weaker') - just different. Robert didn't want to invite that type of comparison, and there's no way Frank would either.
💙
Hit your kids doesn't means closed fist beating them. It means discipline. We need discipline, not millenial coddling.
@@JoeMama-dy6op But that's what his father was probably doing. He didn't say he got hit only when he was naughty but he got hit everyday. He didn't hit his kids because he was afraid he would end up like his father and not be able to stop.
That's exactly what happened to my father.
He never laid a hand on me and my two brothers to discipline us but we never knew why until my mother told us after my father passed away.
0:26 Peter Boyle's a great actor, you can tell by his tone that he's not just angry, but hurt.
I can't believe he was the only cast member to not win an Emmy for this show, he had so many great moments both comedic and serious.
He won an Emmy for his guest spot on the Xfiles.
ruclips.net/video/O7S8amFbPRE/видео.html
Fun Fact: Peter Boyle and John Lennon were friends.
The way Debra says "Robert" when she finds out Ray isn't waking up gives me chills every time.
"He is my brother, I can wake him up".
Literal tears
@Bonnie estabrooks this same exact thing happened to my brother over christmas.
To put it simply..... dont be a dick.
@Bonnie estabrooks trust me im not boo hooing to you.
Go ahead, be a shithead. Carry on. The world needs more shitheads.
Cya, shithead.
@Bonnie estabrooks 😂😂😂😂
Have a good one, shithead.
@Bonnie estabrooks that was a shitty thing to say about their brother
"He was supposed to retire."
Damn. There's a reason Doris Roberts won 4 Emmys for this.
That scene really touched me.
Just watched that episode and cried again at that scene. Doris was brilliant! ...and 10 seconds later hysterical again when she responded to the FBI director when he said Robbie wasn't quite good enough. She could turn from one emotion to another on a dime perfectly! RIP Doris :(
She won an Emmy for that episode :) One of my favorites of ELR.
She was awesome. There were times I got so angry at Marie, but I loved her too. I remember being really mad at her for ruining Robert's suit and all, but when she said all that it showed that she really did love Robert and just didn't want him getting hurt.
SilverShade1008 i
When Frank said "I didn't." I just bawled.
I hear you. My reaction was more of a quiet "Damn." That really got real.
hutch That was a great scene
what i like about that scene is not a lot of words needed to be conveyed cause these guys aren't the kind of guys who really speak out loud about emotions, but the meaning from those words was there, and they all got it and they realized what it meant.
The way frank looks at Robert and ray and they look back was great. Show don't tell personified.
Hello i
Holy Crap! :) Great show! Good collection of emotional moments!
Another sad moment from the finale was when Ray asked everyone how they reacted when they thought he had died and he was mocking Debra and Frank told him off, saying that he saw Debra fall apart and hoped that he would never have to see that again. There are three truly pure moments of Frank Barone - that one, the one where he said he didn't want to be like his father and the one when he talks to Ray and confronts the men at the lodge about how they talk about Debra.
hated the finale for that reason ray never grew up as a person at the end
That finale is brilliance. Everyone has their point of view with sitcoms and particularly with how they end but that one is damned near perfect. What you are missing is it is NOT about Ray. Its not supposed to be. It is about the family. Every single family member has an unforgettable moment in that episode. Deb breaking down and immediately calling on Robert, Robert's reaction of true love for his brother, Frank showing how much he truly loves Marie when he is thinking about it later, Marie cooking for the whole family as the series fades. Through all that, the episode still is mainly jokes. Jokes that hit. That is not easy to do. I honestly think that is the best series finale of any long running network sitcom.
Puzzsta what about the moment he and his grandaughter had together
actually i would argue that ray does grow a bit, he's not going to be fixed over-night, but he shows debra in his own way he cares about her truly, and then at the end when everyone is eating, they say the tables to small,
rather then some quip or telling anyone to leave, ray says,
"then we need a bigger table."
With one of the points of the series being how ray and Debra hate the parents coming over so much for ray to say, "well we need to include room for everyone," was a great line to leave the series on.
after all the series is not about ray it's about the family.
I watched an episode when Frank and Marie are arguing in bed and he walks out the room and comes back with a cloth. He wipes the face mask off her face and tells her he prefers her without it. Its so sutble but it made me see Frank stuggled to show emotion but truely loved her just as she was right there.
The hospital scene was sad, but Frank's speech standing up for Debra at the end of the episode cemented it.
He always had a soft spot for Debra; taking the fall for her with the canister, defending her from his lodge buddies’ crude comments and of course that speech in the last episode. She was like a daughter to him.
I was thinking the same thing!
@@ifeelpretty5790 and when Marie and Debra were fighting on Mother’s Day he stood up for Debra when her own husband didn’t.
@@lanaturnered Me too.
"most people find their other half, and maybe I just have to wake up and accept there is no other half, for this."
fucking stab me in the heart.
There is always someone for someone ♥️sometimes in front of our face. 💐
@@debbiecopello1583 definitely so true. My other half ended up being my best friend ! We were friends for 7 years before we started dating! Now we just celebrated 8 months and want to get engaged next year! I couldn’t be happier!
As someone who ruin his chance with a girl he deeply, I know the feeling to an extreme degree.
Maybe I just have to accept the fact this cold Dark truth to wake up and accept there is no other half
Marie talking about how she can't watch Robert have another dangerous job always gets to me. Doris plays a lot of different emotions at once and you can see all of them. Being eerily calm when she says "I can't do it" instead of yelling was a fantastic choice. It shows just how truly tired of worrying she is.
such a great scene. I love the scene when Marie defended Robert, after Joann dumped him, and, later on when she's giving advice to Ray/Debra and Robert/Amy
This episode was so great. Starts out with the usual meddling Marie, smiling the whole way and seemingly innocently screwing things up for Robert. Here we see a rare moment of clarity. She's finally honest about her intentions and reasons for doing the things she does. I also love that it took an FBI agent to pull it out of her.... that's some great writing. Marie finally met her match lol.
This show was a success because of the caliber of each and every actor
Oh Yeah I Agree!
Zia M. They really are brilliant with their delivery. The pauses and stutters they fit into their lines really makes you forget that the whole thing is scripted. In modern sitcoms, everyone says their lines so flawlessly that it seems like a grade school play.The writers are brilliant as well. The beauty of this show is that there aren't multiple stories going on in the same episode. Everyone seems to find some way to get involved in the main issue. And the conversations are brilliant. Think about how in modern day sitcoms, the longest continuous conversations last maybe a few minutes. The writers of these shows have trouble coming up with creative ways of evolving the discussion as it happens, so they choose to stop them constantly and switch scenes all the time. In ELR, one conversation might last over half the episode, and they find very natural ways of getting all characters involved. They take you on a journey instead of asking you to refocus on a different situation.
You have to give credit to the MASTERS who chose the cast !!!!!!!!!!! Lorre has that gift for sure........
Rest In Peace Marie.. She was an amazing actor. Everybody Loves Raymond was one of those shows from my childhood. I still watch it til this day, I was watching it today when I found out about her passing. She will be missed.. She's up there in peace with Frank & Geoffrey now ❤️
NinoATF What Doris Roberts died??
Allen Greene sadly yes, doesn't feel like 7 months already
NinoATF Damn I didn't even know. That's sad.
Geoffrey killed himself, a real coward. According to the Bible, people that kill themselves don't go to heaven.
simon madi You are the perfect example of why I cant stand religious,holier than thou types..I rest my case.
i always loved that even though robert was the butt of many jokes, his family loved him as deeply as ray
Because he was Marie’s favorite child.
Corey no way
TheInvincible H if you really look at it she really did favor Robert.
They did. Everyone wanted him to have Amy because they loved them both so much.
Lol there's no way Marie loved Robert as much as Ray. What show were you watching?
when both learn their father got beaten...and the end. "I didn't " powerful.
1:10
When Debra called for Robert...she loved him like an actual brother.
❤️
The saddest thing for me is seeing how Peter Boyles health worsens during the last series in particular.
And yet, he still went on to act in movies at the same time, they were released after his death.
Yes, he mostly had to sit in his scenes.
He had a stroke in 1990 that left him unable to speak or walk, but he recovered enough to return to acting. It was in season 3 (1999) that he had another heart attack on set of this show and mostly recovered, but yes, you can see him slowly decline in health through the rest of the series. He died less than a year after it ended.
It reminded me of Howard "Floyd the Barber" McNear on "TAGS"; he had to sit in a chair for the rest of the series. And Ellen "Grandma Walton" Corby. She had a bad stroke during season 4 or 5, and when she finally came back, she had to sit in a chair, she could hardly speak and when she did stand, she had to use a cane or walker.
agreed....
It about killed me when Sawyer Sweetin died. Truly heartbroken for his own family and his "Raymond" family.
Shannon Taylor-Ward yeah it must suck never seeing that person you didn’t know
@@PHATB0Y20 shut up
The FBI confession was the greatest one for me. I still get teary-eyed listening to Marie.
A touching scene (not sad) for me was when Frank removed Marie's facial cream as they laid in their bed. She begged him not to, but he continued. I forgot what he said, but I think he simply wanted to hold her and love her.
Jupiter Jones 👏👏👏👏👏❤❤❤❤❤❤ that's literally my favorite scene throughout the entire series, tbh.
Jupiter Jones he said I like u better without the cream
This!
I think he told her that she looked better without the face cream.
J
Doris Roberts won an Emmy award for her performance from "The Suit" episode.
Out of her four Emmy-winning episodes, that one is probably my favorite. It gives us a view into Marie's mind we never thought we'd see, it's the first time we see just how much she loves Robert. In the second season, we see a little bit of her fear for Robert's life but nothing like in "Lucky Suit."
Both she and Brad Garrett won for this episode. I saw a bio on Doris (RIP) and Brad joked he rode Doris' coattails to that Emmy because of Doris' work in that scene (even though his hilarious breakdown when he confronts Marie earned him that win.)
@@Ifeelpretty21
Notice that even though Ray is Marie's favorite, the only times we've seen Marie become truly emotional and angry is whenever Robert is involved.
My favorite scene in the show is Marie talking about how she worries about Robert and his job. Tremendous acting. RIP Doris Roberts
Mine too, a mother's love extends beyond measure
RIP Peter, Sawyer, and Doris
the Chosen Moose+
You should leave Sawyer outta that ,
he didn't die naturally , he punked out and committed suicide.
9EvilHater9 OLD SKOOL I think he might've been depressed
9EvilHater9 OLD SKOOL are you kidding me you fucking piece of shit??! Mental illness and suicide is not "punking out". Go read a book!
I agree RIP to all of them
Don't forget Debra's dad, Robert Culp, has died also.
Hater- I don't get it, but it's not for me or for you to get. It's frustrating, yes, but why condemn the departed? Your hatred is misplaced.
*UPDATE* (four years ago i made this comment that grabbed a lot of negative and positive attention. I was engaged to a man who i spent seven years wit (on and off) , he passed away two years ago. I am now trying to move forward with my life at age now 27, although I have met someone else since my fiance's passing, I have grown to accept whatever life gives to me.
I cried when Robert said there may be no other half for him.
I'm almost 24 living in a world where all my friends are now married with kids and I'm barely trying to get through college.
I want to marry someday but somehow i always get my heart broken and it ruins me each and every time. As each relationships fails, my own heart starts to fall apart piece by piece.
I feel like maybe i need to accept there's no one out there for me.
I may be young but this feeling i have is something i cannot get rid of. I've been feeling this way since i was 15, and i may feel it for the rest of my life.
Great show
I'm sorry you feel like that. I'm 32 and I've always been shy and awkward around women; I also have an emotional disability that makes it hard to read people. I could not count the number of women I have had crushes or infatuations with, who didn't return it. Four years ago, I fell in love with a young woman over the Internet who seemed to like me. We shared a lot of interests, we were supposedly both shy and socially awkward and had been emotional abused by various people over the years. No, after two years of chatting online, I realized she was stringing me along. She had a very hard outer shell that was actually quite brittle; underneath she was explosive. I inadvertently wrote a comment to her in an e-mail that she disliked and when I didn't apologize immediately, she exploded at me and cut me off completely. I've been heart broken ever since and from time to time, say that that's it, I'm done, there can't be anyone for me, forget it, I'm done getting my heart put through the meat grinder of love. But I refuse to believe that. Everyone has another half. Your heart is always intact; it can take a lot. You may have pieces that are bruised but it is always whole. 24 is pretty young. Don't give up. You're a beautiful young woman, you will find someone, maybe when you least expect it. Best wishes to you.
Wait til ur 40 and still haven't found anyone and most of your friends are already on 2nd marriages
See that's the problem. You think your life will be incomplete unless you find a partner. Whoever is telling you this are liars. You do NOT need a partner. You were not born on this planet to make someone else happy nor vice versa. You were born because God needed you for a special purpose. Whatever that special purpose may be is your business. The point is do NOT put a man before God, do NOT put a man before your family, do NOT put a man before your principles, do NOT put a man before your dream, do NOT put a man before your possessions, do NOT put a man before your freedom. You are an independent woman, you just need to search inside yourself and have the fortitude to tell the world, "take me or leave me."
Sweetie, I'm almost 50, and I am devoutly thankful that I never married or bred! Life is full of surprises though, and you never know what may happen next year, or next week. 24 is far too young to be worried about whether you marry or not, concentrate on your studies, they will keep you warmer than any man ever will, and won't vomit down your back. PS your friends are envious of you!
@@luckygypsy9 I'm 41 and he still hasn't shown up
This explains why most of them in the show got prestigious awards: They could make you complain about too much laughing on their funny lines but at the same time they could also make you feel devastated on those sad moments. Epic! Kuddos to them🙌🙌🙌. I hope some of the original casts here could make a reunion project. RIP DORIS, PETER & SAYWER.
Yeah, it's called "acting".
Wow really? See I thought we were watching some sort of Big Brother/Truman type show where everything was actually real.
The 'hey,son' by the father when Robert has given up broke me
I can relate to Robert not finding a lover.
Watch how I met your mother all way through. At my lowest after having my heart broken I watched it and it made me believe in love again. Stay strong brother it will happen
You're not alone Sam. I came to the same realization a very long time ago. Not finding that special one to share your life with is heartbreaking and contributes to depression and apathy. The thought of dying alone is a hard pill to swallow but that's where I'm headed. I think I understand why some people kill themselves. After a while you wonder if living a lonely existence is worth it or not.
@@gregh7400 I don't know how old you are but.never give up on love. I remarried at age 42 to a wonderful man for 25 yrs. He died and its been hard but even at my age of 72 I still believe in love. Don't kill yourself that is not the answer. Draw near to God and friends. Good luck.
Barbara - Thanks for the kind words. I'm 56 and the chances now of finding someone is less than ever. I'll go on with my life, but it doesn't really matter anymore. If I died tomorrow that would be okay. I've had enough.
Greg H me too. After two failed marriages I didn’t have the heart to look again. Content that I have some good friends and four great kids who won’t let me get lonely.
I really like robert's character. Definitely someone who was misunderstood, couldn't find love at first, a normal guy working as a police officer risking his life everyday on the job and showing compassion towards his brother who gets most of love and affection from his mother after hearing him not wake up from anesthesia. Those are the best characters, the one's who have a great heart and either don't expect much or don't get much but still shows love for others.
I don't know why, but for some reason, the scene from She's The One always got to me the most. That acknowledgment of loneliness that we don't want to admit. And especially when even Frank, the toughest of the bunch, calls out, "Hey, son..." then you know there's some serious shit going down.
I can relate to how Ray's brother feels about his other half.
I have people I can talk to, but it's not the same as having that someone special in your life. This is a big chunk of why I have to take 4 depression meds daily.
scooter36able Jesus I’m sorry to hear it.
Thank you Snow
I appreciate your concern.
miss_midge_6515 same here
Lucky Suit! That is my favorite scene! That whole thing! I love it! A mother's love is stronger then anything!
"it was like that for everybody, that's just the way it was"
that broke my heart
“Boys therapy” stopped me in my tracks when I first saw it...
I can't believe that Ray's turning 60! He doesn't even look that old
60 isn't old. I'm 61, and I don't look old either. I still have a nice figure, and my hair is long and still dark. Most people think I'm in my 40s. And I don't have arthritis, heart problems, diabetes, eye or hearing problems either. The only thing I have is full mouth implants. Good genes mostly, I guess.
I even work full time as a house painter.
🧐 umm He doesn’t look that old because youre watching scenes when he was 40
Your Ego no shit
Janet Griffiths no one cares
I almost cried when Robert said maybe there's no other half for him, the way he said it broke my 💔, and then Frank said "hey son", and yeah, that did it for me!
This show was filled with brilliant acting along with the comic moments. One extremely moving scene that always gets me involved Debra and her father talking about his separation from Debra's mother. It's a heartbreaking moment.
When Frank Says "I Didn't" and "Son" is Very Powerful Indeed Even Though He Was a Little Mean But He Had a Gentle Side!
V
Poignant scenes. It just shows that ELR wasn't just a joke fest - there were a lot of sad moments that reflected real life. (You left out a great scene: Ray and Robert in the car, fighting over who Marie should eventually live with, arguing who loves her more).
D
very true!!
Watching these scenes gets to you. its crazy how a sitcom after all these years of it gone can come back and remind you why you loved it.
this show could get so serious so quickly. that’s something i’ve always appreciated about it
Three scenes showing how Frank has emotions even though he always act like a stubborn ass... The raw emotion he has when shouting, "A LOVELESS MARRIAGE!!?" gets me everytime
2:40 This scene always hit me hard because my dad had a very rough childhood. His dad was an abusive alcoholic drunk who always beat him for the stupidest mistakes. My dad never hit me. Sure he raised his voice and was strict but he never hit me.
And unlike his father he was always and even as an adult is STILL there for me. Even though he and my mother separated more than ten years ago. You can tell that deep down under Franks crude humor, tough guy macho man exterior he's always had a soft spot.
These actors were amazing, all of them. Some of the best chemistry in acting history.
frank going "hey, son".. gave me feels since for one of the first and fewest times.. he shows he cares for his children
Oh, and don't forget the time when Frank was loving Marie on the bed with the cold cream on her face. That was a very touching moment, too.
In my view, "Everybody Loves Raymond" is a modern-day classic, right up there with 'I Love Lucy' and 'The Andy Griffith Show'. 50 years from now, our descendants will be watching all of these shows.
Love these moments. Makes you see that even though they spend most of the time making fun of each other, when it comes down to it they love each other and they always have each others back. Just like a real family. That's great writing, great acting and great story telling
With the passing of Doris, the other day, I've been crying like I lost my own mother. I never really watched this show when it was on the air. My parents loved it. I only started watching the reruns a year ago and now I watch it nightly. I love all of the characters and I truly believe EVERY episode is AMAZING. This show NEVER jumped the shark and went out on top. Now with Marie & Frank, gone, there will never be a chance for a reunion show. :( Isn't it ironic how realistic Doris's & Peter's deaths happened, like most children's parents passings happen? First, the husband dies, then the wife. R.I.P. Doris, Peter & Sawyer.
Poor Sawyer, killing himself. Sadly, he fell into that trap that a lot of child stars fall into, their TV show going of the air, growing up and not being as cute anymore, being typecast and not getting any or very little work or winding up working at a Wal-Mart or someplace like that, where people ask, "Didn't you used to be on whatever and you played whoever?? Why are you working here??". Thbat must be so embarrassing.
Fuck, I forgot how this show had some real moments from time to time. Good compilation!
This is one of my all time favorite shows. The humor of it never goes stale.
there is that time after ray got out from the hospital and started acting strange in what dabra was thinking while he was in that operation room... then Frank said " hey, I never saw dabra cried that much and i never want her crying again" that was legit a touching moment.
God, I love this show, such wonderful performances all the time. Huge Brad Garrett fan here...RIP Frank and Marie..
The I hate my mom scene always gets me. Our kids grow up so fast. And that empty nest thing happens all of a sudden and then... it's just quiet. And you wonder if you were a good mom.
"Let me go in there, I'm his blood type, no no no, I can wake him up." Why is no one talking about this?
"the lucky suit" was one of my faves.
In the end, don't forget Doris Roberts. I know she died after this video, but it's still sad.
Wow when Marie talks about reading the journal..."I hate my Mom". That cuts to the heart. ELR is such a great show. So many tender moments amid the comical!
I loved when Robert proposed to Amy. "I'm ready to be happy". I teared up on that one.
There are those special television shows that you wished would never end. This is one of those shows.
When Robert says “maybe there is no other half”, it hit me real good.
I’m going to be 23 in February, and I haven’t really had a serious, months-long relationship yet (it’s all been casual) and I see people I graduated from high school and college getting either married, engaged, having a baby, or some kind of combination of that. And I’m over here like, “did I not get the memo”?
I’m the same, I turn 24 next year, and it makes me feel really out of the “norm” I think for some of us, we just won’t have that many relationships in our lifetime, idk I was writing to try and make you feel better and now I’m bummed lol.
Scotti Brown . Hear me. You only just begun . Laugh play hang out. You got plenty of time.
00:50 - you can see the love Debra and Robert has for Raymond.
*I’m not crying. Invicible ninjas are cutting onions in my house*
The first-class acting is what made these scenes so emotional and real for many viewers. My personal favorite is Marie’s speech to the FBI agent, when she so movingly reveals her concerns for Robert’s safety.
When Robert says he can't find his other half I know how he feels.
I love how Deborah calls for Robert after the nurse tells her Ray's having trouble waking up.
Ray’s Journal made me think back to a time where I was ride to my parents in my childhood. I started crying which I haven’t done for many years now. I did something similar to what Ray did in his journal and my parents only deserve the best, not what I gave them. I love them so much.
Does anyone notice that the audience was kind of crying at 4:43 when Marie said I hate my mom that’s hits me so hard 😢
When Robert said that there is sometimes no other half for some people out there, he was right because some people never find the other half.
Rip Doris Roberts 1925-2016 and Rip Peter Boyle 1935-2006 they are 10 years of each other
You can hear the pain in Frank's voice when he said 'That's just the way it was'. He might have been flawed but he was a good father ❤️
And now Ma....I loved Everyone loves Raymond. It saddens me to think that Ma and Pa and one of the twins is gone. R.I.P. all three of them.
4:15 started watching the show bc of “Ray’s Journal.” Doris Roberts’ performance won me over.
Rest In Peace, Marie 🌷
This was one of the finest programs to hit the air waves.....The cast was magnificent.....It's been a pleasure to watch & wish it could have gone on FOREVER...!!
Why is this so much sadder now than when I first watched it? Was welling up during the "I hate my mum" bit 💔
Marie's heartbreak was palpable in that clip, especially when she told Debra she would not wish that on her. Those moments when it seemed Marie & Debra in fact did have some common ground seemed harder to come by, but oh when they did come...
That's just the way it is, I guess. When I watched the last episode of M*A*S*H 35 years ago, I didn't really cry until Hawk and B.J. were saying goodbye to each other. Now I start bawling even before the gang starts saying goodbye to each other.
Casey H saw it now..and its sadder now than what it was years ago
Because when they had sad moments it was followed by something funny. So your laughter made you forget the sad part.
Truelly one of the greatest sitcoms to ever exsist. Bottom line.
I miss this family absolutely loved the laughs and tears from them. I catch the reruns whenever I can.
My favourite American sitcom. The acting was incredible. Very special to me.
"I feel empty" a scene from Frasier is very powerful.
“Maybe you didn’t want to be like him!” Only part that made me cry ❤️❤️
Robert always thought that Marie loved Raymond more because he was the, “favorite”. In reality, Marie fawned over Raymond more because she knew Robert was much stronger and self-sufficient. Therefore, he didn’t need to be babied like Raymond did.
The first one got me . Their marriage is far from perfect but there is always love in it and that really hurt him when she said that.
That scene from "She's The One", you know it's serious when Frank has a reaction like that
"A loveless Marriage" almost brings a tear to my eye every time I see the scene!
I relate to Robert on a spiritual level. I’m still young, 24, but it feels like I’m going to walk the rest of my life with no one by my side apart from my dogs. That’s sad, huh.
choose wisely....
(single people want to be married and married people want to be single.......😉 )
Marie is such a great character. She reminds me so much of my own grandmother... I hope I'll have her around for a few more years, but she's been recently diagnosed with dementia and I haven't seen her in one year because I've moved to the opposite side of the world... Sad times.
buxx - My 💔goes out to you!
Thanks
RIP MARIE. one of my fav shows
Rud my own mother in-law was just like Marie baron
Raymond wasn't Marie's favorite. Robert was.
RIP Marie
Grant Hudson she was so special!
And now Frank is with her as well as one of the twin sons of Ray and Debra.. They are missed. Rest in peace to all 3 of them..
These moments truly touched me ...
Hard to believe the actor who played Frank was battling brain cancer for most of this show
The hitting part always gets me upset for some reason. Frank tells us it's just the way it was, but you know at that time everyone was a selfish @$$. Some of us actually know from that experience first hand and never learn how to forgive because of that.
voltz15 So very sorry you endured abuse! 😢 I hope that you have been able to participate in some type of therapy (either individual or group) at some point, just to work through things with those who understand. I totally get it is very hard to forgive. I know from past experience, it is helpful to remind oneself that the root of the problem was something on their part, not on me. Also, it is highly beneficial and healing, if a person can decide they are not going to let the abuse eat at them anymore. These are, in their ways, tremendous steps toward healing and getting over the pain and the dominance it once had over one's life. Hope this helps in any way.
One thing that gets me about the scene is Robert’s reaction. He’s a police officer and had no doubt come across situations dealing with abuse.
Plus, he & Marie grew up & raised children at a time when that was basically considered normal parenting. It was wrong then as it is now, but sometimes there is truth to someone being "products of their time".
Times change, philosophies change & hopefully, you grow & adapt. Nowadays, what they did would be thought of as either helicopter parenting, at best or child abuse, at worst. Cycles can be broken.
@sid g 60-70 years later and Frank still remembered, even calling himself weaker compared to his father
I used to be so angry at my mother. We got hit, but not out meanness, it was meant to teach us. One day when I was adult I had another disagreement with my mother and I really thought about. I had a choice, I could cut her out of my life or learn to live with who she was. I chose the latter and I'm glad I did. She mellowed when she became a grandmother and great-grandmother. She's gone and I miss her every damn day.
Such a great show I grew up watching!!! Didnt know what I was whatching at the time...so many great actors....
My favorite will always be " lucky suit"Robert's face when that door opens! PRICELESS!!!!
This is so sad, I love this show. May she RIP
