Doug loans Carrie to Deacon to help prepare Thanksgiving dinner. When Deacon ditches her for Holly's services, his web of lies soon gets out of control. Trying to cover it up, Doug continues to dig a hole for himself.
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.
