The King of Queens

Pilot - S1-E1

Revealing mistake: When the guys are watching the game in Doug's bedroom, we see a shot of the TV. If you look closely you can see in the reflection that no-one is on the bed. (00:13:00)

Dog Days - S1-E14

Revealing mistake: Even after receiving the gift basket from the neighbors, the Heffernans are still awakened by their barking dog. When Carrie rushes downstairs Doug stops her at the front door, and the entire left window has been removed (for camera access) from its frame, so there's a large empty hole. (00:13:10)

Art House - S1-E24

Revealing mistake: Carrie comes into the kitchen, visibly hot and sweaty, and says, "Could it be any hotter?" Doug also has a sweat stain on his back and they stick their heads in the freezer. Suddenly Arthur walks in and says, "Do I have the word pushover on my forehead?" Arthur is wearing a thick shirt tucked into long pants and yet is not sweaty. At his age he would be more visibly drained from the heat than both Carrie and Doug. This happens again later in the episode in the garage.

Suggested correction: And yet in summer, some retirement homes have heating on still as they feel the slightest bit of cold. That could simply be the case here.

Richie's Song - S1-E4

Revealing mistake: When Carrie holds the paper towels, the kitchen's curtains over the sink are normal, the window is closed and the blinds are down. However, next shot the blinds are up, the double-hung window is oddly open outward sideways, and the curtain is pulled back with a large clamp. Then it's all back to the normal previous way.

Pilot - S1-E1

Revealing mistake: While Doug is driving the IPS truck he stops in traffic, and then Arthur pulls up alongside. Watch the reflection in the truck's side mirror, because we can see crew members pushing Arthur's car as he takes off. (00:19:10)

Train Wreck - S1-E20

Revealing mistake: Shari from ISP radios Doug about the rush order pickup at 1202 Stratford, so Doug pulls over and soon Carrie pulls him to the back of the truck. Cut to exterior shot of the truck, and the street sign reads "Lafayette, Culver City" which reveals the California location. The truck is parked on Culver Blvd, corner of Lafayette, in front of the well known Washington Building (awnings are now black), which is located a few blocks up from Sony Pictures Studios where King of Queens was filmed. (00:21:35)

Hungry Man - S1-E21

Revealing mistake: When Deacon drops the suit off to Doug, Doug parks the truck up and Deacon gets in, however the outside of the truck is still moving as if Doug is driving. (00:07:50)

Rayny Day - S1-E19

Revealing mistake: We see the Country Club sign when it's raining. However if you look at the puddles on the ground, there is no sign of any rain actually hitting them. (00:10:20)

Show generally

Question: Has Carrie's sister, Sara, ever been mentioned again after the first few episodes, and why was she taken off?

Answer: Sara hasn't been mentioned in later episodes, and it suggested in later episodes that she never existed, and that Carrie is an only child. Kevin James stated that the producers couldn't think of an good plots to use with Sara, so they left her out.
