Corrected entry: When arguing with Carrie about having some of the festive cheese platter, Arthur goes for a "spoon to the wheel of brie", but from a previous episode (Ticker Treat - S4, E6) we found out that Arthur has banned soft cheeses along with celebrating Halloween. (01:10:20 - 01:10:55)

No Retreat - S4-E5
Corrected entry: At Carrie's office retreat when Doug is pretending to be on the phone, the guy in the blue shirt at the buffet keeps repeating the same movements and changing position between shots. (00:07:10)

Corrected entry: Deacon and Kelly rent a small apartment, however their bedroom is much larger than the Heffernan's. The master bedroom in their apartment would not be that big.

Soft Touch - S2-E22
Corrected entry: At the beginning of this episode Carrie parallel parks the car so close to the parking meter that Doug can't open the door enough to get out. However from the shot above the car, when Carrie stops you can see the parking meter is not in the same spot as from the inside shot when Doug can't open the door. (00:23:35)

The King of Queens (1998)
Corrected entry: In this episode Arthur orders a case of Sgt. Salty cereal. When Doug and Arthur are trying the cereal, you can see it is called Deep Sea, not Sgt. Salty. (00:12:45 - 00:13:35)
Correction: It's Sergeant Salty's Deep Sea Corn Loops, on the box.
Correction: The cereal is called "Sgt. Salty's Deep Sea Coin Roots" so Deep Sea being on the box is right.
Hey Ssiscool. I love all your attention to detail and obvious fondness of TKOQ! Where did you get this? Is this a real cereal somewhere?

Corrected entry: At the wedding, Deacon tells Doug that he also had disposable cameras out at his wedding, and that a guy took a photo of his butt. Doug and Deacon are best friends, so Doug would already know this. Doug would have been at the wedding, although it's never specified when Deacon and Kelly were married. (00:07:10)
Correction: In season 8 episode 3, Consummate Professional, there is a flashback in which they show Doug meeting Deacon for the first time at IPS. You can see Deacon's wedding ring, so they didn't know each other when Deacon got married.

The King of Queens (1998)
Corrected entry: When Arthur questions Carrie about having some of the festive cheese platter, he asks if it has anything to do with 'the appending arrival of Douglas' parents'. Appending is not the right word: he probably meant to say 'impending'. (01:10:20)
Correction: The character of Arthur is known to be obnoxious, boorish, and eccentric. He is often wrong and certainly does not seem teachable. Combined with his use of flowery speech makes the use of the word "appending" exactly his character style.

Strike One - S3-E5
Corrected entry: In this episode Doug buys their Jeep during the October-Palooza sale right as IPS goes on strike. Later in the episode Doug says he just wants to "put his shorts on and feel like a man again". However, October in New York (and moving forward in episodes "Strike Too" and "Strike Out") would be too cold to still be wearing shorts.
Correction: Much like UPS in real life, IPS defines their drivers in part by their shorts. This is a running gag on King Of Queens. Does says this just as a cop might say "I want to put on my badge again" even if he was working undercover.

The King of Queens (1998)
Strike One - S3-E5
Corrected entry: In this episode, when Carrie asks Doug about ripping out the shower tile without replacing it, Doug says he was "trying to save some money around here." It doesn't make sense that he would he decide to renovate the shower tile at all while on strike and trying to save money - he would still have to purchase a lot of materials even if he did it himself. We also know from earlier in the episode that Doug is not very handy when he breaks the cupboard handle while trying to just tighten it.
Correction: Doug is a bit of a moron, probably didn't think it through before he started tearing stuff down. Then it was too late, and it HAD to be fixed.
In fairness to Doug, people often think that home repair/remodelling jobs will be easy. They are convinced that the experienced professionals want to do a simple task and charge an outrageous price. However, you can create a bigger, more expensive mess by rushing into a project and not fully understanding what you are doing.

Correction: Arthur can be melodramatic and fussy. He probably made a big deal about banning soft cheeses at the time, but isn't very bothered by them in the long run.
