Plot Summary
Blue-collar couple Doug and Carrie Heffernan (Kevin James and Leah Remini) share their home in Queens, New York with Carrie's oddball dad, Arthur (Jerry Stiller). Burly Doug, who makes a living as a parcel deliveryman, often has to scheme to find time alone with Carrie, as Arthur can be quite a handful — so much so that they hired a dog-walker, Holly (Nicole Sullivan), to look after him. When he's not working, clashing with Arthur, or nesting with Carrie, Doug hangs with his advice-giving buddies Deacon (Victor Williams), Spence (Patton Oswalt), and his cousin Danny (Gary Valentine).
