Its Christmas time and Doug's parents are coming over. The only problem is that Doug and Carrie are trying to conceive because of Carrie's "fertile time". After trying to not tell his parents, Doug finally tells them of the situation and leaves the house for one night. That night, Doug can't perform because he is under pressure by his parents and Arthur.
The King of Queens revolves around Doug Heffernan, a Queens, N.Y., parcel delivery man with simple desires. Among his prized possessions is a 70-inch television that his lovely wife, Carrie, provided for him. However, now that Carrie's widowed father, Arthur, lives with them, Doug's television room has become Arthur's bedroom. Doug and his sports-watching buddies, Spence and Deacon - and the beloved television - have been relegated to the garage, and Doug now shares his castle with a very eccentric father-in-law and his very unusual habits.
