I loved that show and everybody had great chemistry. I loved the episode when Danny and Spence went to their high school reunion and made a bet that they were going to get laid. A lesbian girl thought Spence was a lesbo and a gay dude liked Danny. They were so determined to win the bet all four of them were in the car driving back to their apartment lol. I was thinking Danny was going to win because the lesbian girl was going to see that Spence was a dude and he wouldn’t be able to hit it. Danny was about to get the gays.

It is very reminiscent of Kevin James' stand-up: overlooked, not super creative, dependably solid.
Arthur, Carrie, Doug, and Spence were great. Only one I wasn't a fan of was Doug's brother.
And Leah Remini good god

" Douglas... would this be a good time to update you on my psoriasis ?"

The episode when Arthur gets braces is fricking hilarious.
They’re all eating dinner together:
Carrie- “Stop staring at his mouth.”
Doug- “It looks like he ate a bird.”

His cousin, Danny?
His brother in real life of course.
Yeah, he doesn't bring too much to the table.
I love the episode Doug gives Debbie Downer a "mercy flirt."

He meant his cousin Danny, who is Doug's brother in real life.

Weird show.
But funny.
Doug was always desperate because he worried about Carrie leaving him being out of his league.
So he lied about everything.
Carrie lied about everything because she was always trying to be upwardly mobile and have higher class friends - and didn't want Doug to feel bad that she wasn't exactly thrilled with movies, beer and Cheetos on the couch as the height of their social life.
He lied to keep her, she lied to conceal that she was always trending away.
The show created that weird dynamic that desperate Doug and looking for greener pastures Carrie - but then at the end of each show - she'd say she loved Doug and he didn't need to lie...she just wished he'd try a little harder to give her want she wanted.
As much as a dysfunctional show as Raymond. But that's the standard couples sitcom blueprint starting with Lucy.
He was succesful with a crazy wife. People forget, the show was predicated on Lucy being a loon...maybe not now, but especially back then when it aired. Not only was she demanding and wanting and doing things a traditional wife back then shouldn't be doing...but she wasn't manic and somewhat crazy for that period.
Debra wasn't crazy...she was just unhappy with the parents next door and not having a voice of her own in that family dynamic.
Carrie seemed - always - that she felt misgivings about settling and where her life had taken her and that as she got better jobs didn't want to be in Queens and was always trying to fix Doug into being more sophisticated.
Carrie wasn't a good person; Debra was just a nag in an intolerable situation.

I thought Doug lied just because he perceived Carrie as uptight and bitchy... and wanted to avoid the nagging..
Not really about her leaving him or being out of his league. Of course he knew she was out of his league, but not really worried of losing her.
Carrie did want more than what they had (job, intelligence, friends), but at times she could be just like one of the guys.. which would make her cool. I imagine her character is quite "relatable" for some.

One of my best steals is when I'm at a casino and anybody asks how I'm doing:
"I don't want to brag, but they just put my picture up ---
in the buffet."

My favorite Arthur scenes are:
when he and Doug are speaking on the phone to the person conducting a political poll
when he flirts with Kelly

Agree. Leah Remini was so incredibly attractive on that show for some reason. I'd just stare at her, don't even know if the jokes were any good.

I read somewhere that Ray was the horrible person because of the way he treated his kids as a nuisance. Never showed them any affection which was pretty revolutionary (and honest) for a "family" show.

Never watched it during its run, but I've seen reruns here and there and have actually enjoyed them a good bit. Makes me sad I missed its original run.
