Popcultured Classic Episodes: King of Queens Thanksgiving episodes
The TV series “Friends” wasn’t the only series known for its multiple Thanksgiving episodes. NBC’s “The King of Queens” managed to get a turkey day episode in multiple times during its 9 year run as well.
In Season 1, the episode “Supermarket story” finds Doug and Carrie (played by Kevin James and Leah Remini) perusing the grocery store shopping fro Thanksgiving food.
In Season 2, the episode “Roamin’ Holiday” features Doug convincing his buddy Spence to stay with him and Carrie over the Thanksgiving weekend, so Carrie’s annoying friends won’t be able to stay with them.
Season 3 features the episode “Dark Meet”, where Doug and Carrie reminisce about their first Thanksgiving Day together.
In Season 5, Doug “loans” Carrie out to his single-dad friend Deacon so she can make a Thanksgiving dinner for him and his kids.
And in Season 6, in the episode “Thanks Man”, a stranger comes to the Heffernan’s door on Thanksgiving day when his car breaks down and Doug and Carrie make him wait outside in the cold for his ride, who is 4 hours away.
