For me, 'Everybody Loves Raymond' jumped the shark a bit in it's final year. Unfortunately Peter Boyle is visibly unwell and the stories weren't always as strong.
The novel twist of having Frank and Marie move away would've been a perfect finale for the show - Ray and Debra would've had new annoying neighbours across the street.
And it looked like that was the way things were heading, until this episode undoes it all rather rapidly.
It's certainly all well played out, and I get that Robert is a character whose whole life is 'one step forward, two back', but for me it didn't work.
I pretend these first two episodes of S9 don't exist, or that the first one is the finale.
