RAYMOND WRITES A SAMPLE EULOGY FOR FRANK, ON "EVERYBODY LOVES RAYMOND," MONDAY, OCT. 7

"Pet the Bunny" - Although his father is alive and well, Raymond decides to write a eulogy for him which winds up in the wrong hands, on EVERYBODY LOVES RAYMOND, Monday, Oct. 7 (9:00-9:30 PM, ET/PT) on the CBS Television Network. John Fortenberry directed the episode from a script by Aaron Shure.

When the twins doodle on the back of Ray's eulogy and then give it to Marie and Frank, Ray attempts to recover the kids pictures before Frank finds out what he did. After Marie confides she saw the eulogy and is upset that Ray didn't write one for her, Ray explains he wrote Frank's because he wanted to see if he could paint a softer picture of his father. When he includes a childhood story of Frank petting Ray's bunny, his father becomes incensed - not about the eulogy - but about the gentle tale that stands to ruin Frank's tough guy image.
