There have been comments about other episodes of this show saying they weren’t filmed in front of a live audience so I googled this show.I read the Dick Van Dyke show was filmed in front of a live audience.I wasn’t born when this show first came on.I started watching when it was in syndication.I’ve loved it ever since.
Sometimes, shows stop having a live studio audience as the show looses in popularity, but there is no doubt this was a live audience. Just watch Richie's face when he's about to crack a joke. He was pretty bad at hiding his anticipation of the audience laughter.
Supposedly, there were three DVD episodes that weren’t in front of a live audience: 1) an episode filmed several days after the Kennedy assassination, 2) the episode where they stay in a haunted cabin, and 3) the second to last episode where Rob dreams he’s in the Old West.
I was about 6 when these first aired and at the Desilu Studios they had seating for those live audiences. I learned the difference between a live audience and the canned laughter very early on. Most all of these had the audience. I think there were a small handful that didn’t.
Laura's fashion sense is flawless ..there is a lot of DIOR and GENVENCY "look" going on / Like Audrey and Grace ..it's been all down hill since the early SIXTIES
The wardrobe mistress of the show actually based MTM's dresses and gowns on those worn by Jackie Kennedy. The Givenchy look, the Christian Dior emulations, anything from the house of Channel--all were fair game for dressing "Laura" to look very much like Mrs. Kennedy.
Seeing these again after all these years has been a hoot. I was a little kid when I watched these as they were first broadcast in the late 60s. Sure I’ve seen clips and snippets over the past 60 years (😳yikes!), but I haven’t seen full episodes in forever.
I am not an Everybody Loves Raymond fan for the most part. Too much screeching and yelling from Patricia Heaton. But it doesn't surprise me that the ELR copied this episode. Many shows copied scenes from this show. The ultimate compliment to DVD show excellence.
I have been married for 30yrs and if he is still funny but if you don’t find someone that is acceptable to you, don’t settle…at the same time, be careful, because you may not have many choices after a certain age (you know what they say: “the good ones will be taken”).
I've seen this a dozen times, one of my favorites. It took watching it that many times before I realized what Ritchie said while he shaved his face with a butter knife. I always thought he was telling his mother to shut up. Thank God I was wrong. He actually said the aftershave that he broke "it slid off". I wondered why Ritchie didn't get a spanking for being so mouthy to his mom.
If you ever noticed, there was never any kind of corporal punishment. He was sent to his room, mostly, but unlike real kids, he really didn't do anything worthy of discipline, so nothing was shown along that line. And no, he never sassed his tv parents. Such a thing was never in the scripts, happily.
Well, Asians eat noodles with chopsticks, so it makes sense to use them for spaghetti. I'm struggling to learn how to use them correctly, but I keep losing the noodles, so I give up and use a fork.
3 important lesson for marriage from this episode: 1. Perspective creates reality which may differ from person to person. 2. Leave work worries at the door and come in with a smile. [@13:25] 3. Find a way to have making up without the fighting [@21:20]
As usual, this was a great episode. One thought though...I think they did it somewhat backwards. First, Millie should have come over and heard Laura's side of the story. Then, Sally and Buddy and Mel should have heard Rob's side. THEN the fish could tell the truth in the end.
I have seen this same type of story done exactly the order you described, but I think this way is funnier for a comedy. Once you know the truth, then you know just how distorted each of their perspectives are from the truth. I don't think Rob's dancing around like Fred Astaire would have been near so funny, if I hadn't first seen what really happened.
What is up with people complaining in the comments of the DVD show? Are they not able to chill out and enjoy something funny? They take it so seriously.
Question, this is a wonderful episode. However, if Rob left the car keys in the house, how did he drive to the office? I know that he took the train to work frequently, but not sure here.
Daisy. This is one of my favorite episodes!!❤ The two of them are at the top of their game - 🎭 dramatically and comedically. A great show then AND now!!
I can't believe, in the first scene, that Rob ate dinner but didn't call and let Laura know she didn't have to hold dinner for him!. And, as she said, she might have eaten if she knew. Now she's hungry which is an added element of their fight. He takes her work for granted -- his excuse that "I forgot" is pathetic.
I thought Laura seemed kind of lazy but that's a good point specially as he was late and she has been waiting for him so had not eaten anything. I would be mad too. Otherwise I can't really see how her day can be that hard with only one kid.
Rob was exaggerating more than she was. At least her version had some degree of truth to it. His version was completely crazy. She did try to kiss him when he came home. He didn't do a single of the things he made up.
Richie is sure ornery. Rob is so laid back, it's stupid for Laura to get pissed at him. Ritchie left school over a runny nose? We sure didn't, as kids! The Petries only had one kid, and they couldn't cope with that? My mom had 5 kids, two were twins, and she was never up in arms over us.We were not ornery, but in most of these eps Laura is a wimp.
Ritchie may have been sick with something besides just a runny nose. That's the only symptom Laura mentioned to Millie. Anyway, I think Ritchie is funny, not ornery. And when he is difficult, that makes him look more normal. I mean, what kid isn't difficult once in a while? I know I was sometimes difficult as a kid.
Yeah Laura only has one kid to take care of and she doesn't even work, doesn't seem very hard work to me. Okay maybe Richie was more difficult than usually because he was sick but not too sick to not be able to make a mess.
Correct me if I’m wrong…in most of these episodes, I observed that the script is mostly abou MTM as Laura. She must have worked a contract to that effect and it was Carl who wanted her to be the focus. She was a famous (not like in our times) model and she knew it (Carl liked her legs so she became the focus of the show). Laura’s loves i.e. the rich guy Robert Vaughan, the priest character Joe Coogan, the sitter boy who falls for her…
You know it's actually really rude to stay in school while sick, you'll just infect the other students and possibly the teacher. Most people don't like being sick.
Daisy. This is one of my favorite episodes!! A married couple on TV that get into a real “Donnybrook” over nothing and everything. It’s like a real husband and wife’s relationship!! And making up afterwards is sooo romantic. 😍🩷🩵✨🌟🌸💐😅
I heard that expression, "a real donnybrook" used in Bewitched once and I had to look it up. I'm 59 and I never heard it anywhere but in that one 1970's TV sitcom. Nobody uses that expression anymore.
I am glad that women don’t have that silly hairstyle. It might have looked attractive, but I’ve seen what the hair went through during a short revival of the hairstyle, during a hair show in the early 90s…a famous stylist, Irvin Rusk, replicated it and all I can say is I am amazed that women had any hair left when the style went out of fashion.
I went through that phase when I was in high school in the 60s. It wrecked my hair. I had to cut it short and never wore my hair like that again, and that was 50 years ago.
I don't understand how they did to keep the hair like that without making the hair just look nasty from all hair gel. I can't even keep my hair straight and it becomes a mess the same day if I have it lose.

There is one episode where a guy laughed so hard in the audience, I started watching it over and over just to hear him.
I was about 6 when these first aired and at the Desilu Studios they had seating for those live audiences. I learned the difference between a live audience and the canned laughter very early on. Most all of these had the audience. I think there were a small handful that didn’t.
The lady in the live studio audience, cackling from 13:58 - 15:57. 😄
The two fish talking was genius XD
They did something similar a few decades later on Home Improvement.
It was true.
I have always suspected it was Buddy and Sally doing those voices, but I can't tell for sure.
I agree
Truly genius!!
Laura would look awesome in anything
Laura's fashion sense is flawless ..there is a lot of DIOR and GENVENCY "look" going on / Like Audrey and Grace ..it's been all down hill since the early SIXTIES

I think "Everybody Loves Ramond" got their idea for the episode "The Can Opener" from "The Night the Roof Fell In." Both are classics.
I am not an Everybody Loves Raymond fan for the most part. Too much screeching and yelling from Patricia Heaton. But it doesn't surprise me that the ELR copied this episode. Many shows copied scenes from this show. The ultimate compliment to DVD show excellence.
So sweet.
As a single gal myself I agree with what Sally said @ 13:12
"I love to hear things that make me feel good about being single." 😉
I have been married for 30yrs and if he is still funny but if you don’t find someone that is acceptable to you, don’t settle…at the same time, be careful, because you may not have many choices after a certain age (you know what they say: “the good ones will be taken”).
But you wouldn't say that if you live during the 60's plus if you really watch this show you know Sally goes on about having a man and being married
Great episode!!! Love it!!!

Richie is such a cute and savy kid. He knew exactly when to pull out that spelling test.
No, he wasn't; the script writers constantly made him annoying and told him to talk in that hideous, screechy, unrealistic manner.
He's also a brat. Running around and breaking things, expecting hamburgers, I'm surprised Laura hadn't gone crazy yet.
My favorite Richie line in this episode was "Never mind Mommy." Too perfect!
Laura, you're gorgeous no matter what you think you look like
When MTM went without makeup, you couldn't tell her from any other woman walking on a sidewalk.
Totally agree
Haha! Rob's eating his spaghetti and meatballs with chopsticks.
Well, Asians eat noodles with chopsticks, so it makes sense to use them for spaghetti. I'm struggling to learn how to use them correctly, but I keep losing the noodles, so I give up and use a fork.

Very accurate especially the Fred Astaire part.
I teared up when they were reconciling

Can anyone remind me which film that " Fred Astaire entrance " was taken from ? I kinda remember it was a hotel lobby , but I'm not sure .

The fish's story needed to told first because they only have a 5 minute memory
@@JanaSuzanne Ha ha, good one.
Then it would have been known as a .....fish story????😕🐟🐟

@@Robert08010I agree
Great show. Innocent comedy
At the end, Rob picks up chop sticks for his meat balls.
Pretty hard not be mad, though, when you just spent the whole night in the garage.
In the garage?
Oh, you picked a fine time to wash the 🚗.
That was the dirtiest fish tank I've ever seen
Also the only time the fish tank ever appeared in an episode.
The story of Rob and Laura's discussion is more accurate than Rob and Laura's rendition of all of this!
Lol!
If Rob forgot his car keys when in the garage, how did he get to work the next day? 😅
Ooops! Plot Hole!!! LOL Good catch.
Maybe he went back in and retrieved them after Laura went to bed. He just didn't want to see her and admit he forgot something.
Taxi?
Taxi?

Yeah, Spaghetti is my favorite meal too.

if your a fan of the show ???? you know Rob does not do that offend and he dose call, This new gen/millials toooo much man
What color is their phone?
For some reason I think it was olive green...maybe from a color pic of the set i saw once
@@michaelparks6120
Thank you
That's when the prop phones are there; actually, they have two phones, one in the dining room and one in the kitchen. @@michaelparks6120
R-E-S-P-E-C-T. Find out what it means to me.
Aren't you 2 exaggerating a little??
Script. They followed the script, no matter how lousy it was.
Rob was exaggerating more than she was. At least her version had some degree of truth to it. His version was completely crazy. She did try to kiss him when he came home. He didn't do a single of the things he made up.
There's a phrase I heard about couples and fighting in general. "There's his side, her side, and the truth." 😂

@@teijaflink2226Now you know that only happens on TV 😅
I have to work hard to give a damn about Laura’s little problems.
Daisy. This is one of my favorite episodes!! A married couple on TV that get into a real “Donnybrook” over nothing and everything. It’s like a real husband and wife’s relationship!!
And making up afterwards is sooo
romantic. 😍🩷🩵✨🌟🌸💐😅
I heard that expression, "a real donnybrook" used in Bewitched once and I had to look it up. I'm 59 and I never heard it anywhere but in that one 1970's TV sitcom. Nobody uses that expression anymore.
And the Moo Goo Guy Pan brought back memories of other episodes.
Ugh who would’ve loved to have a husband like that
ME!
I usually love the clothes Laura wore but the dress at the end was hideous. 😮
I am glad that women don’t have that silly hairstyle. It might have looked attractive, but I’ve seen what the hair went through during a short revival of the hairstyle, during a hair show in the early 90s…a famous stylist, Irvin Rusk, replicated it and all I can say is I am amazed that women had any hair left when the style went out of fashion.
That’s certainly why Ingave it up.
Women have endured far more to be beautiful than a few split ends.
I went through that phase when I was in high school in the 60s. It wrecked my hair. I had to cut it short and never wore my hair like that again, and that was 50 years ago.
One word. Three letters. W. I... G.....
I don't understand how they did to keep the hair like that without making the hair just look nasty from all hair gel. I can't even keep my hair straight and it becomes a mess the same day if I have it lose.
All these two do is fight: yikes
They could have left out the sloppy kissing scene 😝.
