The King of Queens is a well-known CBS sitcom that ran from 1998 to 2007. It focuses on the life of Doug Heffernan (Kevin James), a fat but jovial IPS driver, and his wife, Carrie Heffernan (Leah Remini), nee Spooner. Most of the time, Doug tries to live a hard-working but relaxed and diet-free life, which is complicated by the zany schemes of Arthur Spooner (Jerry Stiller), Carrie's father, who lives in their basement.Doug has quite the circle of friends. His best friend is the black family man, Deacon Palmer (Victor Williams). Others include Richie Ianucchi (Larry Romano), a ladies' man who nicknames Doug as "Moose", Doug's awkward cousin Danny (who is played by Gary Valentine, James' brother in real life), and Spence Olchin (Patton Oswalt), a nerd of sorts who isn't the Butt-Monkey of the group so much as the omega wolf. While not part of the circle, another friend is the local dog-walker Holly, who, in spite of her drinking and trouble finding a date, does a good job of putting up with Arthur's weirdness.Most viewers point out The King of Queens for its prominent case of Big Guy Hot Wife. What makes the show unique, though, is that Doug and Carrie share other attributes that show opposites attracting. For example, Doug is a nice and friendly guy and is quite content with his job as an IPS driver, whereas Carrie sometimes fantasizes about the directions her life could have taken and has a somewhat grayer moral compass. Another example is that Doug is a hard worker, but he likes to play hard as well, whereas Carrie is a card-carrying workaholic. Had a Spiritual Successor of sorts in the second and final season of Kevin Can Wait with Kevin James and Leah Remini at the starring roles.

Adam Westing: Done in "Shear Torture" by the actual Adam West, whom Spence meets and wants to take to Comic Book Convention. Lou Ferrigno's recurring appearances as a neighbor contains many references to his time spent playing The Incredible Hulk on The Incredible Hulk (1977). Donny Osmond appears as himself in "Sold-Y Locks".

 The King of Queens / int_15184afb
comment
This Loser Is You: Doug is shown to be dumb, has extreme aversion to reading, and watches way too much TV. He also avoids places like art museums and artistic movies in favor of summer blockbuster movies and sports events. At the same time, he is shown to be very good-natured, kind-hearted, and caring, making the audience connect with his character.

Aborted Arc
 The King of Queens / int_23698fa8
comment
Aborted Arc: The series never really seemed sure what they wanted to do vis a vis Doug and Carrie having children. It was explored in the Season 1 finale, then not mentioned again until the end of Season 3 when an unexpected pregnancy ends in a miscarriage. This leads into a story arc in the first half of Season 4 where Doug and Carrie attempt to get pregnant again. We then learn that Carrie has a bad ovary which would make it difficult for them to conceive. After this episode, the child arc is completely forgotten about until the series finale. It is possible that the writers were vacillating on whether to bring a child into the show and then made the decision not to. The Season 6 premiere "Doug Less" sees Doug lose a substantial amount of weight, and the episode explored the impact it had on his ego and his relationship with Carrie. The writing leads one to believe that this new chapter in Doug's life is going to play a significant part in the story moving forward. However, Kevin James quickly gained the weight back, and Doug's weight loss was never mentioned again after "Doug Less."

Only Sane Man: Deacon; he is the only main or recurring character that doesn't have many major personality flaws, is often exasperated by his friends idiotic schemes, is the first one to point out when someone goes too far in any given situation and is generally the most well-adjusted person on the show.

Awesome, but Impractical: The first house Doug and Carrie bought together turned out to be more impractical than awesome as Doug initially thought. The house itself was uncomfortably close to a school, the easy chair that looked like a hand wasn't as comfortable as it looked, the sunken living room was a booby trap, and the dumbwaiter was, well, dumb.

The Bad Guy Wins: Parodied in "Icky Shuffle" where Doug and Arthur go up against a stuck-up old man and his son-in-law in a shuffle board tournament. Doug and Arthur lose and Arthur chews Doug out even though before that Arthur said that since Doug decided to play with him that means he already won. Played straight and for laughs in "Fight Schlub" where members of a rival delivery company Priority Plus deceive Doug, bind him, and take over their booth at Coopers the local sports bar. Doug, Deacon, Danny, and some others from IPS try to take it back but are defeated by the Priority Plus Employees and must take the booth that is right next to the bathroom.

Hollywood Law
 The King of Queens / int_3322dd48
comment
Hollywood Law: The plot of "Clothes Encounter," where Carrie was returning expensive clothing articles after wearing them for a while, was played entirely for laughs and was seen in-universe as morally grey but ultimately harmless. In real life this is called "wardrobing," and it is legally considered a type of shoplifting. At the very least this kind of scheme would probably destroy your credit score, and at worse may land you in prison for fraud. It is quite unlikely that the water leak in the Heffernans' home that caused the toxic mold would have been brushed aside with a fleeting comment and then buried in the fine print of the paperwork. Something like that would be a pretty major deal, and would probably require both Doug and Carrie to sign a waiver that they were buying the house "as is" and thereby absolving the realtor of any responsibility. As it happened in the show, Carrie would have a pretty good case against the realtor that she was never informed of this severe defect and signed off on the house under false pretenses. Later in the same story arc, Mr. Kaplan's explanation to Doug and Carrie that there was nothing they could do about the mold company's poor business practices was fairly specious as well. If the company accepted payment for the job up front and signed a contract that they would complete it, they can absolutely be held to those terms and they can certainly be sued or possibly even arrested for absconding with the Heffernans' money.

Living in a Furniture Store: Carrie makes additional money, at least for a time, playing the role of an idealised housewife whose purpose is to make houses for sale look like attractive buys. When prospective buyers turn up to view, Carrie and her family note Actually child actors hired in for the day via an agency are there, doing ordinary family things and enhancing the idea that this house is a great family home to live in. Naturally, Carrie and "her" children are being happy-homely in a very well-tended furniture store - no detail is left unattended to foster the warm illusion, so as to sell homes.

Notary Nonsense: Arthur's plot in "Educating Doug" sees him training to become a notary, doing rather poorly despite his regarding it as Serious Business.

Game Night Fight: Doug and Arthur play a game of Monopoly, with Arthur rolling a six and buying Park Place. Doug calls him out on his turn because Doug already owns Park Place, he's not the thimble, and he rolled a five. Arthur responds by throwing the board off the bed (and different game boards are seen on the floor implying other games were played with similar results).

Acrofatic: Doug's poledance. Especially when compared to Carrie. His racquetball performance against Deacon is also an example and it's implied that he really had no prior experience playing and that it was solely inspired by Doug's desire to get his friend away from his "archnemesis" pushing him into almost Determinator territory. In "Kirbed Enthusiasm", Doug takes on an entire team of kids in football and dominates.

Selling One's Own Hair: In the episode "Sold-Y-locks", Carrie Heffernan sells her hair to a wig-maker to turn a quick buck. (In a case of Real Life Writes the Hairstyle, actress Leah Remini chose to go to a shorter bobbed hairstyle in real life; the episode was quickly written to explain her new hairstyle In-Universe.)

Early-Installment Weirdness: In the first season, Carrie is gentler, softer, more feminine, and an awful lot sweeter. The hard-bitten bitchy edge she develops later is completely absent. Doug is also more serious, mature, hard-working and competent than the Flanderised man-child who emerges later: a stereotypical sitcom couple. Carrie also has a sister who abruptly disappears without a trace (or explanation) within the next few episodes.

Disproportionate Retribution
 The King of Queens / int_50b05d30
comment
Disproportionate Retribution: A waitress is constantly seeking advice from Arthur. He gets fulfillment from this, until finding out from a dimwitted co-worker that she only does so to follow the opposite of what he suggests. Following this he deliberately tells her the opposite of what he would otherwise, causing her to ignore good advice, specifically telling her it's a bad idea to demand a raise, causing her to be fired. Whether or not he intended for this to get her fired and potentially bankrupt, he seems to find her outcome perfectly just in his gloating. In one episode, Doug has a regular customer who always comes to the door wearing nothing but a towel, which disgusts him. He wants to be removed from that route, but can't convince O'Boyle avoiding a guy in a towel is a good excuse, so he says the guy's dog (who was a little terrier like Eddie) is vicious. When Doug comes by again, he finds animal control about to take away and exterminate the dog. It actually gets lampshaded when Doug rescinds the complaint and reveals he made because the guy always wears a towel, causing him to say "For that, you kill my dog?!"

Doug was pretty much of the non-violent fast-talking kind who would try to defuse trouble rather than invite it, but it cannot be denied that he could let the power of running the door, and deciding who got in, go to his head.

Mistaken for Gay: Danny and Spence, repeatedly. Lampshaded when Spence and Danny actually get married in order to receive a free television from a timeshare company, then are comically outraged when they won't give the timeshare to a same-sex couple. In one episode, Spence and Danny go to their high school reunion and try to pick up women to take home. Spence thinks he has succeeded in picking up a woman, until Danny informs him that that woman is a lesbian and thinks he's a woman too. Danny also succeeds in getting a date, that is, the captain of the football team. In the episode "Mammary Lane", Spence's Tivo thinks he's gay.

 The King of Queens / int_6b05b601
comment
Jerkass Has a Point: When Doug wants $100 from the family funds to bet on a boxing match in "Eddie Money", he tells Carrie he's entitled to it since he earns more than half the money that comes into the house. This prompts her to twist his nipples and order him to put the money back in the can. Given that Carrie is known to spend thousands of dollars per year on unnecessary clothing and accessories, it's a bit hypocritical for her to begrudge Doug over a hundred bucks.

Honest John's Dealership: One episode has Doug buying an ice cream truck from an old man. While trying to sell ice cream, he is repeatedly attacked by another ice cream truck, supposedly driven by a rival. Doug ends up paying the old man to take back the truck because he wants out of it. No sooner does The man complete the transaction does he try to sell it to another person, and it's revealed that he has been selling his truck to people and than using another truck to pose as a rival ice cream man and terrorize them so they will pay him to take the truck back to be safe from the "rival".

Put on a Bus: Kelly for a few seasons, supposedly due to an edict from ABC, who didn't want Merrin Dungey appearing on other shows while she was on Alias.note Her leaving Malcolm in the Middle as Stevie's mom is supposedly also due to this After her character in Alias or rather, her character's doppelganger was killed off, she returned to the show for the rest of its run. Holly leaves to get married early in season eight, returning only for a cameo during the finale.

Played for Laughs
 The King of Queens / int_762b9223
comment
The plot of "Clothes Encounter," where Carrie was returning expensive clothing articles after wearing them for a while, was played entirely for laughs and was seen in-universe as morally grey but ultimately harmless. In real life this is called "wardrobing," and it is legally considered a type of shoplifting. At the very least this kind of scheme would probably destroy your credit score, and at worse may land you in prison for fraud.

Real Life Writes the Plot: Kevin James lost 40 pounds in 2003, and this was written into the Season 6 two-part premiere. He quickly gained the weight back, however, making these episodes something of a Canon Discontinuity compared to the rest of the series. Leah Remini's body shape and general appearance changed noticably over the run of the show. This was explained In-Universe as the Spooner women having a tendency to become more comfortably shaped (fatter) as they grew older.

He's now free of guilt and then unabashedly tries to get Deacon doing unpaid chores as a means of paying off a debt he owes Arthur, outraging him with this about-face.

comment
Took a Level in Jerkass: Both Doug and Carrie. Doug has some selfish moments in early seasons, but is generally a Nice Guy. He becomes a lot more self-centered and prone to Jerkassery in later seasons. Carrie actually started out as probably one of the most well-adjusted and nicest characters you'll see in an American Sitcom, but in later seasons she's a Jerk with a Heart of Gold at best. In early seasons, Arthur is a Cloudcuckoolander but is generally kindhearted. In later seasons he becomes a total asshole who isn't above going screwing over family and friends for personal gain.

Laser-Guided Karma
 The King of Queens / int_90e31482
comment
Laser-Guided Karma: Anytime Doug or Carrie (or both) set up a scheme, it would always be foiled by some circumstance. "Patrons Ain't" and "Buy Curious" are good examples for both of them. Several of Doug's schemes to alter Carrie without her consent (such as in "Lush Life", "Gym Neighbors", and "Deconstructing Carrie") always came back to bite him in the ass. A clever example occurs in "Shear Torture" when Spence asks Lou Ferrigno to go to a Fantasy convention with him, but ditches him at the last minute so he can take Adam West instead. On the way to the convention, Adam West tells Spence that he spoke with Lou Ferrigno and found out that he broke his commitment to him. He then forces Spence out of the car, necessitating him to run across four lanes of traffic. Spence misses out on the Fantasy Convention and Adam West also keeps his gas money.

Throw the Dog a Bone
 The King of Queens / int_98576799
comment
Throw the Dog a Bone: Holly Schumpert's character could be seen as a Butt Monkey. She comes from a difficult household and is often used by her boyfriends and occasionally the Heffernans (see the episodes "Icky Shuffle" and "Awful Bigamy"). However, once in a while she does come out on top: In "Secret Garden" she becomes a client of Dr Crawford a skilled gynecologist who is sought after by nearly every woman for his expertise. In "Mentallo Case" She ends up getting the best gift when all of the participants are up in arms over the gifts they got. Spence could also be seen as a butt monkey at times and is often the victim of his friends' or family's stupidity or just fate. Nevertheless he occasionally comes out on top. In "G'Night Stalker", he manages to pull of an elaborate prank on Doug after being the victim of many pranks. In "Emotional Rollercoaster" He ends up getting the girl, although we never see what she (if she is indeed a "she") is like under her giant mascot costume.

Karma Houdini: In "Fight Schlub", the members of the Priority Plus delivery company get no comeuppance for assaulting Doug and binding him in Bubble wrap or taking the booth reserved for Doug and his friends at Coopers. When Doug and his friends try to take back the booth they are defeated and are exiled to a booth by the bathroom. In "Icky Shuffle" Carrie is not called to account or receives any sort of comeuppance for pretending to be ill. She started out sick but continued to be sick long after she got better. This was because Holly agreed to cook dinner for her for the duration of her illness. Carrie's deceit continues even when Carrie's orders get more elaborate and Holly comes down with a very bad cold. In "Lost Vegas", Arthur successfully cheats a church out of its money using a card counting scheme during their charity casino night. In "Mama Cast", an old man gets away with scamming Doug by selling an ice cream truck to him and than posing as a rival ice cream man who terrorizes Doug until he pays the owner to take the truck back. He proceeds to pull the trick on another man.

Closer to Earth: Traded off depending on the episode between Doug and Carrie. Doug is foolish and impulsive, but Carrie is somewhat immoral (or at least self serving) and brash, and each have episodes showcasing their flaws - for whichever one is in the wrong in the episode, the other will be Closer to Earth.

Retcon: When Pruzan first appeared, he was just a pathetic co-worker of Carrie's. Later, he was made into her boss (indeed, several episodes, including "Cello Goodbye", showed her with different bosses). In the episode where Arthur temporarily moves out into an apartment he can't afford, Doug compliments his piano playing abilities. In a later episode he tries getting some fast money by "teaching" children how to do just that but is completely incapable of doing so. Interestingly, among the main characters there doesn't appear to be a single person who can actually play the piano, yet there it is smack dab in the middle of the Heffernan's living room. Doug and Carrie's story of how they met, Carrie's childhood, and several other plotlines.

Spy Cam: "Life Sentence" features something like this. Arthur is recovering from health problems, but he refuses to leave the basement and move into the guest room. Doug and Carrie rig up a babycam without him knowing and connect it into a TV feed so they can periodically check in on him. Later on, Deacon, Spence, and Danny come over to watch football, channel surf when they get bored, and discover the babycam feed. They quickly become engrossed in the mundane things Arthur does and secretly come over to watch numerous hours of Arthur TV.

Shoo Out the New Guy: Sara. At the beginning of the series, Carrie was meant to be the serious character of the two, while Sara was meant to be nothing more than a mooching bimbo. According to the creators, having Carrie's sister in the house never fit the down-to-Earth atmosphere they were aiming for, so eventually they wrote her entire existence out of the show.

Double Standard: Abuse, Female on Male
 The King of Queens / int_c0e3994b
comment
Double Standard: Abuse, Female on Male: Carrie is a pretty major version of this and it was implied that Deacon's wife can be pretty abusive as well. Also one episode had Carrie teach a girlfriend of Spence to be verbally abusive to him. The subplot in "Van, Go" definitely comes to mind with this trope. In the episode, Doug has to deal with a very rude waitress who not only does not serve him at the same time as his friend, but refuses to get his ready chicken wings that remain sitting on the counter. When Doug goes up and gets the chicken wings himself, the waitress rudely tells him that she'll bring them to him. Later, the manager questions why they didn't get refills on their drinks, a Doug says he thinks the waitress was on the phone, resulting in the manager reprimanding her (since personal calls at work are against the rules) and comps their meal. The waitress then declares she's going to "gut you like a deer," when he leaves and spends the remainder of the episode stalking around the front of the restaurant, waiting for Doug to leave. Not only is this Played for Laughs, but nobody calls the cops about this obvious harassment. And it's still Played for Laughs when the waitress beats him up off-screen!

Both Doug and Carrie. Doug has some selfish moments in early seasons, but is generally a Nice Guy. He becomes a lot more self-centered and prone to Jerkassery in later seasons. Carrie actually started out as probably one of the most well-adjusted and nicest characters you'll see in an American Sitcom, but in later seasons she's a Jerk with a Heart of Gold at best.

The Load

The Load: Arthur contributes nothing to the household and in fact has cost the Heffernans significant amounts of money (he's started fires, sold their furniture when they are away, etc.,) and stress (he goes through personal belongings, keeps them awake at night when moved across the hall, constantly yells and tries to force his rules on them, etc.). Whenever he comes across some money like bingo winnings, he doesn't even think to offer Doug and Carrie any of it for something such as new appliances they all use and has to be more or less told to give it to them. Doug wants him out of the house for these reasons but Carrie defends Arthur, claiming he isn't that bad (which is odd, as it has been firmly established that Arthur was a terrible father. He even lost her name in a bet.)

A waitress is constantly seeking advice from Arthur. He gets fulfillment from this, until finding out from a dimwitted co-worker that she only does so to follow the opposite of what he suggests. Following this he deliberately tells her the opposite of what he would otherwise, causing her to ignore good advice, specifically telling her it's a bad idea to demand a raise, causing her to be fired. Whether or not he intended for this to get her fired and potentially bankrupt, he seems to find her outcome perfectly just in his gloating.

Artistic License – Cars
 The King of Queens / int_eea06f9a
comment
Artistic License – Cars: When Doug's car starts breaking down, Arthur buys them a "Douchenburger", apparently quite popular in Luxembourg. The actual car is a right hand drive 1970 Mini 850 Mk. III. Luxembourg has no local automakers (their cars come from the rest of Europe) and is left hand drive. About the only thing done to hide the fact that it's a Mini is the emblem on the hood has been removed. This confuses British viewers, who wonder why an instantly recognizable Mini - with its steering wheel in the intuitively "correct" place - isn't called a Mini. Some viewers are clued up enough to realize a Mini is a sort of classic car in the USA and would be worth good money for its comparative rarity value. Besides, The Italian Job should be well-known enough in the USA for many people to recognize the car? When Doug rear-ends Deacon's car while he, Carrie, Deacon and Kelly are on their way to a dinner (Doug and Deacon are in Doug's Jeep), the taillights are smashed. Except, Doug's Jeep's bumper is level with Deacon's car's bumper and the lights look like they've been smashed with a hammer.

comment
Artistic License – Economics: The plot of "Art House" involves Arthur leaving Doug and Carrie's house and renting a luxurious apartment in a Manhattan high-rise. After a few days, it is revealed that he can't afford the rent which leads to him losing the apartment. Most apartments (and certainly one as nice as Arthur's) require a deposit of a few months' rent before taking residence to prevent situations such as these. Not to mention that the apartment was fully furnished, which would've cost thousands of dollars as well. There is simply no way Arthur could've gotten established in that apartment with no money and no credit.

Anti-Mentor: The unnamed coffee shop waitress uses Arthur this way; everything he tells her to do, she does the opposite. Backfires when Arthur catches on and tells her to do the opposite of the opposite.
