The habitually pessimistic Ray (Ray Romano) is convinced that he will not win the Sports Writer of the Year Award. Debra (Patricia Heaton) tries to persuade Ray to adopt a more optimistic outlook on life. This he does--and before long, Ray is the only member of his family who continually looks upon the brighter side of things. Good news? Hardly! Now that Ray is so irritatingly upbeat, the rest of the family is convinced that he has become incurably swell-headed. ~ All Movie Guide

When their cable TV goes out, Ray (Ray Romano) and the family play a game of "Scruples". Inevitably, an argument breaks out as to who is the most "honest" player in the family. This becomes a moot point when it is learned that Frank (Peter Boyle) had hooked up the cable box illegally. Jon Manfrellotti, here cast as the pivotal "cable guy," would later become a semi-regular on Everybody Loves Raymond in the role of Gianni. ~ All Movie Guide

Ray's bellowing dad Frank (Peter Boyle) and meddling mom Marie (Doris Roberts) are driving the neighbors crazy. To let them air their grievances, Ray (Ray Romano) invites his neighbors to hold a meeting in his living room. The air gets mighty thick when, in the middle of the meeting, Frank and Marie unexpectedly show up. Tommy Lasorda, no slouch in the "bellowing" department himself, makes a cameo appearance. ~ All Movie Guide

In the final episode of Everybody Loves Raymond's first season, Ray (Ray Romano) and Debra (Patricia Heaton) think back to the days when they were living in their first apartment. With twin babies on the way, the couple must face the necessity of moving into a bigger place--perhaps something that is closer to Ray's parents. Meanwhile Ray's brother Robert (Brad Garrett)--complete with uncharacteristic moustache--is undergoing a domestic upheaval of his own. ~ All Movie Guide

All Ray (Ray Romano) wants for Christmas is a heaping helping of uninterrupted lovemaking from his wife Debra (Patricia Heaton). The trick is to get Debra alone and willing for an extended session of Holiday whoopee--a near-insurmountable task due to last-minute shopping trips and Ray's inability to read his wife's moods. Just when Debra is about to give in, Ray's whole family shows up for the traditional unwrapping of the gifts (not to mention the Egg Florentine). Prolific cartoon voiceover actress Christine Cavanaugh (Rugrats) appears on-screen in this episode. ~ All Movie Guide

Mary Kay Adams guest stars as popular radio psychologist Dr. Nora. Debra (Patricia Heaton) is thrilled when Dr. Nora shows up at her home to interview her for a book about "normal" American families. But when she meets the rest of the Barone clan, the good doctor becomes enchanted with their various and sundry eccentricities and personality flaws. And now poor Debra feels like "odd person out"--merely because she's the only one who isn't "odd." ~ All Movie Guide

Despite bitter memories of how the "cool kids" rejected and humiliated him, Ray (Ray Romano) attends his 20th high school reunion, with Debra (Patricia Heaton) in tow. To his horror, Ray discovers that Debra was regarded as "cool" herself in her school days--and even worse, she is greeted by his former tormenters with open arms. Can Debra's marriage to the "ultimate nerd" be saved? Bob Odenkirk (Mr. Show) guest stars. ~ All Movie Guide

Ray (Ray Romano) is crushed when he finds that his most prized gift from his father Frank, a baseball autographed by Mickey Mantle, is a forgery. Vowing that he will always be 100% truthful to his own children, Ray starts off by telling daughter Ally (Madlyn Sweeten) that Santa Claus is a myth. So imagine Ally's surprise--and Ray's embarrassment--when no fewer than two Saint Nicks (both of them bearing astonishing resemblances to members of his own family) show up on Christmas Eve. ~ All Movie Guide

Joseph V. Perry makes his first series appearance as pizza-parlor owner Nemo in this episode. Nemo starts the plotline rolling when he hires his attractive niece Angelina (Tina Arning) as a waitress. Ray (Ray Romano) is obviously charmed by Angelina, much to the dismay of his wife Debra (Patricia Heaton). A subsquent phone call from Angelina arouses Debra's worst suspicions, but Ray has a perfectly logical explanation--which, alas, only makes things worse. ~ All Movie Guide

Ray's policeman brother Robert (Brad Garrett) is taking a course in criminal psychology. As part of a homework assignment, Robert asks Ray (Ray Romano) and Debra (Patricia Heaton) to take a standard IQ test. The results prove to be very embarrassing for Ray--but not nearly as embarrassing, or humiliating, as the mind games played by Robert upon his brother and sister-in-law in the interests of "psychological profiling." ~ All Movie Guide

Jason (Jeff Meyer) is a photographer whose career has hit a really rough patch. He wants to make the transition from commercial photography to art photography. In the meantime, he is living and dreaming (and rapidly running out of money) on a houseboat. He has been hoping that he will be able to get grant money to pursue his dream, but time is running out. He meets a really beautiful woman, Amanda (Gail Kappler Rosella), and gets to photograph her and fall in love with her. When she goes off about her business, he thinks that is the end of the story. Just as he learns he is about to be evicted from his shabby digs, Amanda shows up and reveals herself to be quite rich, with good connections in the art and publishing worlds, and his life takes a turn for the better. Except, of course, that this new world is revealed as being shallow and exploitative, and Amanda is shown to have some flaws as well. Just as we are beginning to see what the fly in the ointment is, Jason wakes up. The whole thing with Amanda was a dream. Then he meets her in real life... ~ Clarke Fountain, All Movie Guide

This comedy is set in Hollywood in 1961, where a group of young men join the National Guard in an attempt to escape Vietnam. The men basically do nothing while on supposed weekend duty until they get a visit from the Army, which threatens to ship them out on active duty unless they shape up. Their solution is to hire a troupe of actors to portray convincing soldiers, put on a stage show to impress the Army officers, and make sure that enough winsome nurses are around to satisfy the proverbial lecherous tendencies of a certain colonel. ~ Eleanor Mannikka, All Movie Guide
