Cruising With Marie


PeakyV

Didn't she refuse to give Ray an excuse not to go, saying something to the effect of "I think it's a great idea" at the beginning?

I think you might be thinking of S9E2 Not So Fast. When Ray and Debra visit Frank and Marie at the retirement home, Marie says Ray should come over himself and stay a weekend, and Debra says, "I think that's a great idea. I mean, I'll miss Ray, but I'll just have to suck it up." (Clearly, I've watched this show too many times LOL.) In Cruising with Marie, Ray says that Debra's fine with him going cruising with Marie, but Debra never actually shows up.

This was during her pregnancy right? Feel like she had limited screen time during this period generally as they were trying to hide the pregnancy.


sailingg

I think so. I remember I watched a blooper from S3E13 Ping Pong, of the scene where Ray's practicing ping pong in the living room late at night and Debra comes downstairs wrapped in a blanket. Patricia Heaton takes the blanket off and you can see she's obviously pregnant. It's pretty smart how from S3E12 (The Toaster) to S3E16 (Frank's Tribute), they hid her pregnancy by always having her in bed, or sitting at a couch or table, or covered in a blanket so you never saw her stomach. Then she wasn't in S3E17 (Cruising with Marie) and she was barely in S3E18 (Ray's Home Alone) or S3E19 (Big Shots). By S3E20 (The Getaway) things are back to normal.

IIRC she only takes off the robe in the outtakes (which was pretty funny BTW).


sailingg

Yep, I mentioned that I saw that scene in a blooper. And yeah, they're hilarious!

I remember watching the episode right after the cruise and I think we only saw her briefly from behind.


sailingg

The episode right after Cruising with Marie is Ray's Home Alone. She has a scene with Ray at the beginning and another one at the end, and both are of her in bed with the blanket over her.

Definitely.There were a few scenes around this time when she was shown on the settee, covered with a blanket round the middle.

Perhaps in the non-syndicated version. But he to use her as an excuse but they just move past it.

For Frank it is Working Girl, Dancing With Debra, How They Met, Sleepover at Peggy’s EDIT: At least according to IMDb

She was not in “Cruising with Marie”. Don’t remember the season. But that’s the name of it.


JQuick72

What episode was Robert not in ??


PointlessNostalgic86

I think it was the season 8 premiere when he and Amy were on their honeymoon


Turbulent-Slice384

Im sure at least once, she was visiting connecticut.


StarBean05

Yeah but in those episodes she at least makes an appearance in the beginning. She doesn't appear in cruising with marie at all
