WHEN DOUG WINS TWO TICKETS TO THE NCAA FINAL FOUR IN ST. LOUIS, CARRIE GUILTS HIM INTO TAKING ARTHUR ALONG SO THEY CAN SPEND MORE TIME TOGETHER, ON A REBROADCAST OF "THE KING OF QUEENS," WEDNESDAY, SEPT. 7

"Wish Boned" -- Doug is ecstatic when he wins two tickets to the NCAA Final Four college basketball tournament in his office pool until Carrie guilts him into taking Arthur instead of Deacon, on a rebroadcast of THE KING OF QUEENS, Wednesday, Sept. 7 (9:30-10:00 PM, ET/PT) on the CBS Television Network. Rob Schiller directed the script written by David Bickel and Michael J. Weithorn, one of the series' executive producers. (Originally broadcast 3/30/05)

What starts out as a great trip quickly turns into a nightmare as Doug and Arthur are forced to switch planes, which puts them in Pittsburgh instead of St. Louis. And if the travel snafu isn't bad enough, Doug discovers that Arthur is deathly afraid of flying and is forced to talk him off the ledge several times throughout the flight. Meanwhile, as Doug baby-sits Arthur, Carrie's relaxing evening alone is suddenly interrupted by a surprise visit from Doug's father, Joe.
