THE KING OF QUEENS

THE KING OF QUEENS revolves around Doug and Carrie Heffernan, a loving blue-collar couple from Queens, N.Y., who share their humble home with her eccentric father, Arthur. After a long day's work as a parcel deliveryman, Doug retreats to his home for some peace and quiet, which is often interrupted by Carrie's father, for whom they have hired a dog-walker, Holly, to take him on walks. Doug's only refuges are the little time he spends alone with Carrie and the company of his buddies Deacon, Spence and Danny, whom he turns to for advice that just might make his life better, if he only bothered to follow it.
