Everybody Loves Raymond (https://screenrant.com/db/tv-show/everybody-loves-raymond/) is a classic sitcom with many great episodes, but its worst-rated episode points out the show's biggest problem.

Some of the worst episodes are in the final season. By the time the episode with the janitor with the kid is over, even the actors seem to be thinking, enough is enough--get this over with!

If you're looking for toxic, Bad Moon Rising from the middle of the series is absolutely awful. The writers carry this storyline to ridiculous, violent extremes.

^^^ Yeah, that janitor episode isn't one of my favorites. To me, the family made too much of a big deal about that man's job.

God bless you always!!!

P.S. The children's book episode is one that I don't know as well, but I do remember that Ally was the deciding vote on which story was better. I don't remember what each story was about, but to me, writing one at all was a good idea. When you are sick of what's already out there or not a fan of what's there at all, make your own contribution to the book barbecue. :) :) :)

The children's book episode was a direct steal from The Dick Van Dyke Show.

Actually many of the episodes with the kids were good ones (despite Raymond's statement in the early episode openings that it's not about the kids). One of my favorites is the one where one of the twins is being picked on for using the word Mommy at school, and he finally admits it to Ray.

^^^ I never saw the Dick Van Dyke show.

God bless you always!!!
