Sportscaster Terry Bradshaw appears as himself in this episode, in which Ray's wife Debra (Patricia Heaton) is laid low by the flu. With Debra out of commission, it is up to Ray (Ray Romano) to take care of his three children all by himself. Things get sticky when even more "rug rats" are added to the equation. One of the episode's funniest bits, involving a staring kid, is a comedy standby that one can trace all the way back to the 2-reel comedies of the 1930s (not that there's anything wrong with that, of course!) ~ Rovi
