The King of Queens

Ovary Action - S4-E12

Sight Gag - S4-E2

Revealing mistake: During both opening and closing driving scenes, a light on the back and top of Doug and Carrie's heads slowly flickers on and off but never moves - revealing a stage light simulating driving past street lights. (00:00:20)

The Minister

Doug Out - S2-E6

Revealing mistake: When Doug and the rest are at a ballgame, the man sitting behind them is eating a hot dog. Actually he's pretending to eat, it never shows any bite marks and the guy is pretending to chew it.

Female Problems - S2-E2

Revealing mistake: During the scene when Doug is "out with the boys" driving in Spence's car, you can tell they are actually in a studio using a green-screen because the stage lights reflecting off the car don't move. (00:36:00 - 00:36:35)

The Minister

Frozen Pop - S2-E15

Revealing mistake: When Doug goes out to scrape frost off the car, we can see he casts 2 shadows from different stage lights as he comes down the steps as well as on the hood of the car. (00:01:00)

The Minister

Altar Ego - S6-E22

Doug Out - S2-E6

Revealing mistake: When Doug is running from security at the Mets game, there is one shot of Doug running from right in front of him, and the background is the game. In this shot, the background is very fake.

G'Night, Stalker - S8-E9

Revealing mistake: In the kitchen, Deacon asks Doug, "Are we gunna play basketball or what?" while leaning against the counter. In this shot you can see the kitchen wall is on an angle slanting away from the camera. This makes the kitchen look bigger and cuts down on the empty stage space on the wall where the cameras are. (00:07:00)

The Minister

Two Thirty - S4-E24

Plot hole: In this episode Arthur scams Deacon and several other parents for phony piano lessons because he doesn't actually know how to play the piano. However, earlier in the series (Art House episode, S1 - E24) we learn that Arthur can play the piano when he temporarily moves out and after his house warming party Doug says to Carrie, "Who knew Arthur could play the piano like that?"

Show generally

Question: Does anyone know if Carrie and Doug had a baby on the show? And also was it just me, or was Carrie pregnant in real life in one season, and they did not write it into the show, or did she just gain a lot of weight?

Answer: To answer the question directly. Carrie and Doug do not have a biological child during the show's main run. In season 3 or 4 finale (cant remember which) Carrie has a miscarriage. Later on in the show they find out Carrie has 1 working ovary. Thus reducing the chance of them conceiving. By the final season, they couple agree to adopt from China and go to collect their child in the show's final episode. While on the flight back from China it's revealed that Carrie is once again pregnant. However the last scene of the show is a flash forward showing that Carrie goes full term with that child and they are struggling with both kids.

Answer: Leah Remini was not pregnant in real life at the time of the series finale in 2007. Her daughter was born in summer 2004 and it was obvious she gained weight and wore larger clothes during that season. So no, her real pregnancy was not written into the show.

Answer: They did have a baby in the series finale. They actually adopted a baby from China, and then at the same time they found out she was pregnant. She was pregnant in real life, but they just covered her up, as much as they could, during the filming of the show.
