Everybody Loves Raymond (Season 3) DVD Review

First telecast in the Fall of 1996, Everybody Loves Raymond became an instant favorite among TV audiences, a love affair that would last for nine memorable seasons. Following on the heels of a series of successful sitcoms starring stand-up comics - Seinfeld, Home Improvement, The Drew Carey Show, etc., Everybody Loves Raymond drew upon the comedic talents of Ray Romano who plays the role of the title character Ray Barone…A successful Long Island-based sportswriter, Ray and his wife Debra (Patricia Heaton) enjoy a happy marriage and the company of their three children - daughter Ally (Madylin Sweeten) and twin sons Geoffrey (Sawyer Sweeten) and Michael (Sullivan Sweeten). But they also happen to live directly across the street from Ray's parents, Frank (Peter Boyle) and Marie (Doris Roberts), who take it upon themselves to enter their son and daughter-in-law's house whenever they wish (without knocking) and dispense advice and sometimes insults. Joining Frank and Marie is Ray's brother Robert (Brad Garrett), a divorced policeman, who periodically lives with Frank and Marie and is often jealous of Ray's idyllic life. Together, they create the perfect loving and dysfunctional family…The Everybody Loves Raymond (Season 3) DVD features a number of hilarious episodes including the season premiere in which Ray and Debra's house gets quarantined after they spray for termites. Moving into Frank and Marie's house along with the kids, they decide to give Ray's parents a dose of their own medicine, but quickly learn that it's near impossible to turn the tables on their annoying relatives… Other notable episodes from Season 3 include "Getting Even" in which Debra vows revenge on Ray for embarrassing her, prompting Ray to drive himself crazy in anticipation of her retaliation, and "Moving Out" in which Robert attempts to move out of his parents house and into a garage apartment only to realize that the couple he's now living with are clones of the very parents he sought to escape…Below is a list of episodes included on the Everybody Loves Raymond (Season 3) DVD:Everybody Loves RaymondEpisode 48 (The Invasion) Air Date: 09-21-1998Everybody Loves RaymondEpisode 49 (Driving Frank) Air Date: 09-28-1998Everybody Loves RaymondEpisode 50 (The Sitter) Air Date: 10-05-1998Episode 51 (Getting Even) Air Date: 10-12-1998Everybody Loves RaymondEpisode 52 (The Visit) Air Date: 10-19-1998Episode 53 (Halloween Candy) Air Date: 10-26-1998Everybody Loves RaymondEpisode 54 (Moving Out) Air Date: 11-02-1998Episode 55 (The Article) Air Date: 11-09-1998Everybody Loves RaymondEpisode 56 (The Lone Barone) Air Date: 11-16-1998Everybody Loves RaymondEpisode 57 (No Fat) Air Date: 11-23-1998Everybody Loves RaymondEpisode 58 (The Apartment) Air Date: 12-07-1998Everybody Loves RaymondEpisode 59 (The Toaster) Air Date: 12-14-1998Everybody Loves RaymondEpisode 60 (Ping Pong) Air Date: 01-11-1999Everybody Loves RaymondEpisode 61 (Pants on Fire) Air Date: 01-18-1999Everybody Loves RaymondEpisode 62 (Robert's Date) Air Date: 02-01-1999Episode 63 (Frank's Tribute) Air Date: 02-08-1999Episode 64 (Cruising with Marie) Air Date: 02-15-1999Episode 65 (Ray Home Alone) Air Date: 02-22-1999Episode 66 (Big Shots) Air Date: 03-01-1999Everybody Loves RaymondEpisode 67 (Move Over) Air Date: 03-15-1999Episode 68 (The Getaway) Air Date: 04-05-1999Episode 69 (Working Girl) Air Date: 04-26-1999Everybody Loves RaymondEpisode 70 (Be Nice) Air Date: 05-03-1999Everybody Loves RaymondEpisode 71 (Dancing with Debra) Air Date: 05-10-1999Episode 72 (Robert Moves Back) Air Date: 05-17-1999Everybody Loves RaymondEpisode 73 (How They Met) Air Date: 05-24-1999
