Why did deacon and kelly divorce

At first Doug is proud of himself but eventually Carrie becomes so involved with her new friend that she barely has time for Doug. When Doug comes home Carrie is on the phone consoling her new friend or out with her. This is probably one of the realist episodes, for me at least. We have to be available more than guys are to each other. Sometimes having a girls night might be every few months or so rather than weekly and not everyone will be on board for such a drastic change.

Carrie and Doug role play and do their accents while in bed. They struggle with different ideas, costs, and the guest list. The guest list becomes a constant debate. The cost of everything starts getting out of control and sometimes in planning, we loose sight of what a wedding is really supposed to be about. Doug is excited and Carrie is a little weary. Eventually they struggle with the pressure and responsibility associated with becoming Godparents.

Uhh, sound familiar? Not to mention Godparents are expected to buy the best gifts ever and be there for all of the important moments. I know couples that have multiple Godchildren and the lists keeps growing but they feel too guilty to turn someone down. Doug and Carrie have found themselves in between Deacon and Kelly during their separation and between their neighbors Tim and Dorothy during their divorce.

It can be awkward and end terribly. Eventually they discover that what works for their relationship is perfect. Carrie unexpectedly becomes pregnant. Eventually both Doug and Carrie come to terms with the fact that they will become parents and are happy about it. Doug takes a second job and Carrie starts shopping for the nursery. Doug comes home one night to find a distraught Carrie who informs him that she lost the baby.

This episode goes through every emotion—that positive pregnancy test, the anxiety, the excitement, and ultimately the disappointment.

Unfortunately, there is a common trope in TV land that throws in a token colored character as a way to diversify the show in the simplest way possible.

Sometimes it seems as though Deacon is just thrown in and they have to constantly refer to his heritage in order to be more diverse. Ultimately, diversity doesn't need to be this forced. There are so many moments of genuine comedic brilliance on King of Queens. Those moments are still hilarious to this day. From feuding with their crazy neighbors to being roped into pyramid schemes, the characters always have something funny up their sleeve. Who could forget that time Doug stabled his scrotum after goofing off at work, or when he and Deacon drive Kelly and Carrie nuts when they're on strike and bored?

All of the hilarious moments brought the show together. Older people are often stereotyped on television as being senile, crazy lunatics. There are a lot of laughs on television that are delivered at the expense of seniors.

Arthur embodies a lot of these tropes and pushes them to their limits. Of course, this is the whole dynamic of the show. But this stuff gets taken too far. Sometimes it's funny, while other times it's just really mean stereotyping. Doug and Carrie are constantly making threats of stuffing him into an old folks' home, while other times they're brushing off what he does because he's senile.

We get it — he's old. The thing is, in real life, sometimes kids happen whether you're prepared or not. Many people aren't ready for kids and are still fully capable of providing them with love and good lives. Doug and Carrie are not ready for kids. They aren't even together when they get the news that there's a baby ready for them. At first, they fight over who gets the baby.

Which is good timing, because it turns out Carrie is also pregnant and they end up with two. Lesley Cornelius is a freelance writer in Niagara, Ontario. She lives and breathes all things movies, television, and music, and is always willing to engage in long debates about Game of Thrones.
