The King of Queens

In the premiere episode, Doug's kingdom comes under attack when his recently widowed father-in-law, Arthur (Stiller), moves in rather than go to a retirement home, turning Doug's TV room into Arthur's bedroom.

Doug can't understand why Carrie refuses to agree to a double date with Richie and his wife, Marie.

When Carrie takes her engagement ring into a jeweler to be cleaned, the jeweler informs her that it is a rare and unusual ring, and worth a lot of money.

Doug runs into Ray at the DMV, where both are renewing their licenses. When Ray copies Doug's answers, Doug ends up losing his driver's license.

Carrie has it all planned: run into the supermarket for three turkey TV dinners and run out again.

At the same time, Carrie's sister, Sara, a wannabe actress, decides to move in to save some money until she gets her big break, and suddenly, Doug has a large family in a small house and a big television in a tiny bedroom.

Much to Doug's dismay, Carrie insists that Spence needs a woman in his life, and things actually begin to work out for Spence -- until Doug convinces him that it's time to "heat things up" in the relationship.

Doug and Carrie are all dolled up and ready to go to Carrie's friend's wedding when Doug discovers Carrie's little secret: Years ago, before Doug and Carrie met, the groom and Carrie were lovers.

When Doug tries to remedy the situation, he ends up playing right into the scheming neighbors' hands and walking the dog himself. Meanwhile, Arthur is convinced that the Peanuts' comic strip is based on his life.

Carrie is so depressed about turning 30 that she doesn't even want to go out, which is lucky for the forgetful Doug who had ordered a pay-per-view wrestling match before realizing what day it was.

When the peculiar neighbors announce that they are separating and have a Hamptons time share that they are willing to give away, Carrie will stop at nothing to get it.

Doug and Carrie can't get a moment's peace with Arthur always hanging around the house, so Doug gets fed up and convinces his cousin Danny to take Arthur for the weekend and put him to work in his pizza restaurant.
