"Halloween Candy" is the sixth episode of the third season of the American sitcom Everybody Loves Raymond (1996–2005). The episode aired on October 26, 1998 on CBS.
Production
[edit | edit source]According to Philip Rosenthal, "we had always wanted to do an adult show about families" since season one of Everybody Loves Raymond.[1] Steve Skrovan, for instance, had pitched "Halloween Candy" to CBS before the filming of the season; however, the network rejected due to being a Friday-night show[1] It took until its third year when the series moved to Mondays at 9:00 PM for the episode to be produced and publicly aired.[1] The episode is both writer Skrovan and director Steve Zuckerman's second collaboration of the season after "Getting Even."[2]
Reception
[edit | edit source]Upon "Halloween Candy"'s original airing, The Palm Beach Post named it one of the "funniest moments" of all shows of the 1998–99 season.[3] The Oregonian ranked it the seventh best episode of the entire series,[4] and Russell Engebretson of DVD Verdict claimed it to be his favorite season three installment, alongside "Dancing with Debra" and "How They Met."[5] As of October 2019, "Halloween Candy" is the eighth highest-rated Halloween-themed television episode on IMDb with a rating of 8.1/10.[6] Both Tech Times and the International Business Times include "Halloween Candy" in unranked lists of best Halloween episodes to view on Netflix.[7][8]
