When Ray and his family play a game of "Scruples" after their cable goes out and they have nothing but time on their hands, they find themselves arguing about honesty.

It is uncovered in this episode that Ray and his parents have been sharing/stealing cable using a cable-splitter. However this doesn't make much logistical sense because they are across the street from one another. How would they get the cable across from one house to another unless the cable was buired. It would make more sense if they were neighbors on the same side of the street beside each other. Another thing, would a cable repair guy come out during a thunderstorm as was happening in this episode.
(edit)
It is in this episode that we learn the exact setting. 320 Fowler Ave, Lynbrook, NY.
(edit)
Jon Manfrelotti would later become the recurring character of Gianni, but first he would reappear in an unnamed role as Ray's superior in the Futon delivery business in the episode "How They Met."
