Young Robert is only seen in a flashback scene in the Season 2 episode "Anniversary". He is Robert Barone as a young kid. He is seen sitting in front of the TV watching "Wild Wild West" and "Bonanza". The viewer finds out that he tampered with his younger brother Raymond's bike, causing it to collapse and send Ray flying over the handlebars, braking his arm. This all happened when Frank and Marie separated. It was a stunt Robert pulled to try and get his parents back together.
