King of Queens

Gone, but not forgotten.

Discuss Doug, Carrie, Deacon, Spence, Holly and Arthur right here.

Topic? I'm watching early episodes right now and I couldn't stand the friend who kept calling Doug "Moose". I can see why he was written out. I've also never liked his cousin either (real life brother).

My favourite characters are Spence and Holly, Deacon at times. I love all the jokes about Deacon's son being, possibly, gay.

Everybody I know either like or love this show. I don't get it at all. It's the same with Seinfeld. It's all about these annoying problems that could've been easily solved, but the characters make the wrong, illogical choices all the time. I get annoyed instead of amused. I do realize that I'm the one with the problem.

On a positive note, I really like Holly. She has brilliant comic timing.

I love King of Queens. It's perfect comfort TV for me. Kind of like Wings. Plus I adore Kevin James in that role.

King of Queens is one of those shows I really want to hate. Gender stereotypes? Check. Wacky misunderstandings? Check. Laugh track? Check. Bitchy wife and overweight husband? Check.

But I like it! Who knows why!

As Doug once said to Carrie: "You're mean, I'm fat. Who cares? It works!"

The series finale totally ripped off what had originally been planned for Charlotte and Harry in the "Sex and the City" movie. I find it hard to believe that was a coincidence.

I've always thought that Kevin James is kinda cute, though. The real-life brother, too.

Especially because it came out of left field. They hadn't discussed babies in years, unless I missed something?

See, I haven't seen any of the episodes in sequence, just a random episode in syndication. I do remember seeing one where Carrie had a miscarriage, but that was some years ago.

I love the episode where he buys her laser eye surgery with a coupon.

I completely agree. What a perfect way to describe the show. And to compare it to Wings as well! ;D

I've hated this show on principle, but if you guys all like it, maybe I'll have to give it a shot. In secret.
