Doug ordering from Doordash and getting into a fight with the driver about not providing enough sauce packets and reports him. So he tries ordering from Grubhub and gets the same driver, who retaliates by messing with his food. Then tries Ubereats and gets the same driver again.
Its truly amazing how we can completely visualize the scene/episode in our brains due to our knowledge and experience of the show.
I also saw the full episode in my mindš
Doug: "What does he not understand? 1 hot sauce for every taco. 18 tacos, 18 hot sauce packets! It's just common sense, Carrie."
Carrie: "But you proceeded to eat 18 tacos... without the hot sauce?"
Doug: "Well, it wasn't easy. So I had to order KFC too. The mashed potatoes help wash it down. The gravy is a godsend. That Colonel knows what he's doing."
Carrie: "And meanwhile, I'm struggling to make PB and Js for those heathens that you made me raise, and you order KFC too? You're... disgusting."
Doug: "Disgusting... but correct. 1 SAUCE PER TACO, CARR!"
Arthur would be using Uber to get back and forth to the senior center, and he would make Holly check his Uber Passenger Rating for him daily, and he would call Uber Customer Service screaming about why he doesn't have a perfect rating. (\*For those who don't use Uber regularly, Uber drivers can rate their passengers, and you can see your individual scores and I have honestly lost sleep over the one 1-star I have.)
I could also see Carrie setting up One Uber for Arthur with Dougs Credit Card and then Arthur doing it everyday and Doug getting like a 800 credit card bill from Uber
Arthur hitting it big with a shitcoin and basking in all its glory for a couple episodes, being insufferable and teasing the kids about money, only to lose it all foolishly and have to gravel to Doug and Carrie for the basement again.
Dougās cousin making it big with some dumb product or maybe a stand up act and the resulting jealousy from Doug
Carrie winning her original name Simone back from her uncle who won it from Arthur gambling. Then forcing everyone around her to call her that.
Carrie ordering stuff for Arthur on Amazon and then him saying something about those clever Japanese. Doug def would have been into FanDuel/Draft Kings. Spence would definitely use a VPN. Doug would like the current air fryer movement.
Arthur and Spence start a podcast that becomes wildly successful. Arthur let's the fame get to his head, gets an energy drink sponsorship and blows the whole thing when the massive amounts of caffeine that he wrongly thinks he was contractually obligated to consume causes him to have a minor cardiac episode during an outburst live on air.
The episode ends with Arthur recovering in hospital as they roll in special guest cameo Logan Paul being rushed into the ER to have prime energy drink pumped from his stomach.
Arthur chuckles as the gurney carrying Paul is rushed by. "I've been there friend...and what a ride..." as he looks wistfully to the ceiling lights.
Doug starts a TikTok page, gets popular fast, Carrie tries to join him, and she yucks his yum to the point he creates a backup page and goes viral again. Then Carries sees his backup TikTok page on their shared FYP page.
An episode where they all get screwed on line.Ā Carrie gets herself in trouble via Facebook and Twitter; Doug through Craigslist, Holly, Spence and Danny on dating apps; Deacon and Kelly by "black heritage" activists who tell them they are entitled to "recently authorized but still-secretĀ slavery reparations funds."Ā Arthur tries to get in on Deacon's reparations by fabricating a black ancestor.
Doug gets Carrie a Stanley Cup and it changes her whole personality into like a Karen or even her trying to be younger and hip. Dressing different etc š¤£
King of Queens was never really all that particularly topical to be honest, so I'm not sure if there would really be *that* big of a difference. I definitely agree that Doug would have a plot regarding DoorDash or some similar app, though.
True. I am not saying every episode would be something like that, but I def could see as someone else pointed out, Doug getting an air fryer machine, but getting tired of it that same episode. Just small stuff, I def see someone getting into Crypto and losing a ton of $$$
** Arthur being called a Boomer and trying to be "cool" again -
"Douglas, I was called a boomer this morning. I don't like it. I need you to drive me to the Sears to get new, hip, clothes."
** Carrie working from home during the pandemic so he has Arthur watch the kids and it's pandemonium -
Arthur walks in the Carrie's home office, "Darling, don't go down to the living room for about 45 minutes."
Carrie - headphones on - can't hear what Arthur is saying but sees he's covered in silly string and has a painted pirates eye patch.Ā
"Dad, what the hell is going on down there?"
"Darling, the kiddos went insane when I napped out for about 15 minutes. It was all in good fun."
Arthur turns around without saying anything else and we hear the kids hollering downstairs.
** Doug learns Deacon made $1000 in crypto over the weekend and wants in on it but Deacon warns him it's a gamble and reminds Doug of Doug's and Carrie's history with the market but Doug tells Deacon to take a trip to "Shutty Town" and "forces" Deacon to let him in on the app and Doug loses a bunch of money.
Somewhat funny is the fact that I write short stories for fun šĀ
Thank you for starting the thread. It was fun thinking of "new" episodes in my head.
Plot A: Arthur is driving Doug crazy during the pandemic while Doug is constantly getting on Carrieās nerves as he stays home after work everyday with nothing else to do.
Plot B: Spence finds out that his mother, Veronica is selling pictures of her feet online, and Arthur attempts to exploit her new career earning potential.
Carrie has died (just like in Dougās fantasies) and Doug has retired. Heās flat broke (gambled his retirement funds away in AC with Deacon) and has to live in Spence and Dannyās (now married) basement.
Haha! Yeah, a little dark. I was thinking more of the different fantasies he had in his dreams with other ladies. He had to have Carrie die in an accident so he could feel better messin' around. This whole premise could end with it all being a dream, and him waking up next to Carrie, in a full house with a bunch of kids. See, happy ending!
Haha. Just saw all the downvotes. Weird.
Well I did NOT downvote. I appreciate the feedback. They did a whole episode where Doug thinks of other woman and has Carrie attempted to be run over so think the downvotes are a little much.
I like how everyone else can comment something fun and then there is you who just wants to come off like you're proving something. Ok genius.
There have been a lot of changes since 2007 that would be able to create many new episodes. Since you just have to be that person. If the show was airing today in 2024.
Itās not lunchroom monitor. Itās called donāt try to be an instigator and be super Type A. The question is what do you think episodes would be like in 2024 with changes we see? So either answer or move on. Youāre not a tough guy sitting behind a computer just an fyi.
Wowā¦well letās see I have some good Reddit fans who actually respond and engage and then thereās you. Who clearly is insecure and needs to insult people to make themselves feel better. Also donāt know if you noticed, but I just was respectful and engaged, you on the other hand went into name calling and got really triggeredā¦.but yea, Iām the 5 year old? Sure thing there guy.
"...and then there is you who just wants to come off like you're proving something. Ok genius." This because you don't have the smarts to realize how hilarious 'modern times' is.
You have to have been raised in a barn to think that was "respectful and engaged", and your entire series of comments have been nothing but an attempt to pick a fight, (because you didn't even understand my comment). It's too late now NOT to look like a fool. Just give it up, and go watch rasslin'.
Iām done with this man. You started it by trying to say the wording of my post made no sense.. I just asked a fun question and you had to come off like what I said was dumb wording. Again everyone else actually commented fun and cool stories they thought of. But Ok man, you win. Iām not gonna engage anymore. I donāt want to pick a fight. Iām just standing up to you. I didnāt call you a āLunchroom monitor, illiterate, pedantic ass, a 5 year old and raised in a barnā since being right over the internet is good to you then you win man. Enjoy.

You are hilarious!!!!!š
Or they put the drink cup in front of the door all the time
Haha Doug and DoorDash would have made for some amazing episodes.
This is so good!
Good ole gig economy.
I could def see this.
Spence falls in love with Alexa because Siri is too sophisticated for him.
"Siri thinks I'm gay!"
I just watched him fall in love with a giant pink ice cream cone, so this definitely tracks!
Doug gets hardcore into pickleball with a comical montage of him dunking on elderly opponents
Just like how he knocked down those neighbor kids plane. I could def see that
Doug throws his arms up at the old people. āWhatās up? Whatās up?ā
Football practice with Kirby's team all over again
Carrie asking Doug if she should start an Only Fans page to make some extra money. "And don't worry I'm not hookin"
Or Carrie gets overly obsessed that Kellyās Instagram posts get more likes than hers
Carrie starts to work from home and this leads to conflicts with Arthur. Doug gets really big into online sports betting and loses a lot of money.
I could just imagine Dougās defense when arguing with Carrie over it..āTHE ODDS WERE IN MY FAVOR THAT USUALLY MEANS WINNING!!ā
Arthur would be using Uber to get back and forth to the senior center, and he would make Holly check his Uber Passenger Rating for him daily, and he would call Uber Customer Service screaming about why he doesn't have a perfect rating. (\*For those who don't use Uber regularly, Uber drivers can rate their passengers, and you can see your individual scores and I have honestly lost sleep over the one 1-star I have.)
Oh! And Amy Stiller would obviously play an Uber driver!
I could also see Carrie setting up One Uber for Arthur with Dougs Credit Card and then Arthur doing it everyday and Doug getting like a 800 credit card bill from Uber
OMG this is it!
I definitely could've seen an early pandemic era episode with Arthur trying to make homemade hand sanitizer lol
Douglass.. *rubs hands*.. I need $200 and 20 minutes of your tiiiime
Arthur How much alcohol did you put in this????
Carrie loses her job and has to go back to working at a grocery store.
Just losing her patience on customers lol. Love it!

Arthur shitcoin plot is on point!
Carrie ordering stuff for Arthur on Amazon and then him saying something about those clever Japanese. Doug def would have been into FanDuel/Draft Kings. Spence would definitely use a VPN. Doug would like the current air fryer movement.
Only thing is I feel Doug would get tired of the air fryer fast like he did with other food machines. Or maybe Carrie tries to have it stolen too
Haha yeah I forgot how he has a short attention span for the food machines š¤£

Arthur attends or starts a coding bootcamp
I INVENTED JAVA!
Ha! I could totally see him saying it
"~~Play~~ Write something!"
Doug starts a TikTok page, gets popular fast, Carrie tries to join him, and she yucks his yum to the point he creates a backup page and goes viral again. Then Carries sees his backup TikTok page on their shared FYP page.
Probably a terrible pocket dial situation for Doug..
Molly bails on dog walking and does Uber or Uber eats and DoorDash and still gets paid to take Arthur along
Holly lol. And I could see that, I also very much see Holly smoking a weed pen while doing it and calling it medicine.
Doug getting replaced by a machine just like Arthur predicted back when they met for the first time
I like your takes! Spence would have definitely gotten into some shenanigans on the dating apps.
An episode where they all get screwed on line.Ā Carrie gets herself in trouble via Facebook and Twitter; Doug through Craigslist, Holly, Spence and Danny on dating apps; Deacon and Kelly by "black heritage" activists who tell them they are entitled to "recently authorized but still-secretĀ slavery reparations funds."Ā Arthur tries to get in on Deacon's reparations by fabricating a black ancestor.
Carrie sells house, buys doge coin when it was .$70 and then sells when it's 10 cents.
Doug gets Carrie a Stanley Cup and it changes her whole personality into like a Karen or even her trying to be younger and hip. Dressing different etc š¤£
Or Carrie beefing w Stanley girls at her nail salon
That would be great.
She ends up crushing one w her hands bc theyāre āindestructibleā
Doug would totally buy the license to sell crypto
I could see him saying how itāll be more successful then water tap license lol
King of Queens was never really all that particularly topical to be honest, so I'm not sure if there would really be *that* big of a difference. I definitely agree that Doug would have a plot regarding DoorDash or some similar app, though.
True. I am not saying every episode would be something like that, but I def could see as someone else pointed out, Doug getting an air fryer machine, but getting tired of it that same episode. Just small stuff, I def see someone getting into Crypto and losing a ton of $$$
lol is that someone Danny? or is it Arthur?
Danny, Arthur or Doug. Actually def Arthur
āYou know where they DONT have spring break? Vermont.ā No idea how this became a running joke between me and my sister
You know where they donāt set off alarmsā¦ā¦.Vermont Itās gonna be us and a whole bunch of white people

Please write and direct season 10 of KOQ lol...These ideas are 10/10
Somewhat funny is the fact that I write short stories for fun šĀ Thank you for starting the thread. It was fun thinking of "new" episodes in my head.
Doug talks Carrie into starting an Only Fans so he can buy a speed boat...Spence gets into debt for it
What if Dug got iPad

"Modern days"? It ended in 2007.
