Everybody Loves Raymond: The In-Laws

[FormerMod-a1]

Some of the best episodes of ELR involve Debra's parents or Amy's parents.  Here are some of the best of the "in-laws" episodes.

Fighting In-Laws (Season 5, Episode 9)
Separation  (Season 5, Episode 23)
Older Women  (Season 6, Episode 9)
Meeting the Parents  (Season 7, Episode 17)
The Bird  (Season 8, Episode 9)
The Nice Talk  (Season 8, Episode 19)
Debra's Parents (Season 9, Episode 7)
Pat's Secret  (Season 9, Episode 15)
 

Side note: IMO, Fighting In-Laws is good, but may not be the best of the best, however it sets up some of the others so should be included.

I think “The Nice Talk” is my favorite of these.

I’m also a big fan of “Just a Formality” so I would add that to the list.

I really enjoy watching the episodes that have Amy’s parents in them; they’re so uptight and stiff that it makes their encounters with polar opposites in Marie and Frank hilarious.

One of those episodes I enjoyed that wasn’t on the list is “Security”. Hank and Pat don’t take up a huge wad of time in the episode, but I still found it a major episode for them because they disagreed on something for once (whether Robert should retire or not).
