You are correct, ma'am. (Ed McMahon: "Yess!")
Patricia is pregnant, and they're doing their best to hide it on the show.
She was also pregnant for much of the first season, which had the
unfortunate side effect of keeping her in the margins of a lot of
episodes. This time around, she's much more involved, which is good,
because she really makes that show.

else left to eat. Sure, once in a while there's a peanut butter cup or
an english toffy but they're gone too fast and the taste is fleeting.
You end up with nothing but broken bits filled with hardened jelly and
teeth-shattering nuts. If you're desperate enough to eat those, all
you've got left is an empty box filled with useless brown paper
wrappers."

I'm surprised they haven't tried to work it into the show!

I'm not. Ray and the other writers have gone to great lengths to make sure
the show "isn't really about the kids," making ELR the closest thing
these days to a kid-less sitcom you'll find that actually contains kids
(think The Dick Van Dyke Show). An on-screen pregnancy would threaten to
overwhelm the show, which would not be good.

I'd have to say I am, particularly after the episode last year where
Ray started wanting more kids and Debra ended up there.

Given that they've handled the existing kids well and that they seem to be
consciously making the show "not about the kids", I think they could have
worked it in without screwing up the show.
Or not. So it's probably best they didn't try. :-)

I agree. In fact, I think ELR this season has gone down in quality from
last season. Ray's father (Frank?) was also acting really mean-spirited
when he sent off his wife in the canoe. It feels to me like everybody
is trying too hard, when previous seasons were so wonderfully natural.

I've really enjoyed this season, especially the premiere episode with the
termites and the one with the sitter. Ray's behavior in "Getting Even" didn't
really bother me. Sure it was juvenile, but I think Ray never really outgrew
his adolescence. "Getting Even" isn't one of my favorite ELR episodes (I can
understand why someone might object to it) but I did find it entertaining.
One of my favorite things about the show is even when there is a subpar
episode, it is still better than most comedies on TV.
