DEAD ALIVE MAG | Just the Items

Welcome back to Just the Items, I have a quick legal disclaimer

I am not affiliated with Ray Romano or Everybody Loves Raymond executive producer Philip Rosenthal. I am simply here to point out the items in each scene of Everybody Loves Raymond.

Spoiler Alert: All of these items are spoilers for Season 1, Episode 2, "I Love You"

Unsettling?

I felt very unsettled

Was this episode making me very unsettled on purpose?

Was it supposed to be anxiety-inducing for me, the audience member, to watch Amy and Robert use the items?

* To get my legal guardian's extra citalopram, I go to the urgent care clinic and remind the administrative assistant of my symptoms--I have to watch reruns of sitcoms just to make the headaches stop and slow down my heart. But sometimes even the reruns have too much conflict: the looming threat of divorce between Ray and Debra, Marie's anxiety over being replaced in Ray's life by Debra. So mostly I write down the items in each scene. I give my legal guardian the citalopram and tell him the story about the items. He says I am creative for coming up with a story like that, about a nutjob writing down items. He doesn't read this blog. If you have any tips on how to make sure he never finds this blog, write to me at: jimmyardis AT yahoo DOT com

Regis Philbin: Brad?

Brad Garrett (Robert): I took the guard from gate six. Sweet little Cuban kid.
