Ep 2. Window Pain

Doug and Carrie decide to buy some fancy new curtains for their bedroom window after being woken up by the early morning sunlight. However, the new curtains turn out to be too heavy for the existing curtain rod and end up falling down, leaving a gaping hole in their bedroom window.

After unsuccessfully attempting to fix the rod themselves, Doug and Carrie decide to call in a professional to do the job. They end up hiring a handyman named Lou Ferrigno (played by himself), best known for his role as the Hulk in the TV series of the same name.

Despite Lou's intimidating size and strength, he turns out to be a gentle giant and a skilled handyman. Doug and Carrie are initially pleased with his work, but their happiness is short-lived when Lou asks them for tickets to a Barbara Streisand concert as payment for his services.

Unwilling to give up their coveted concert tickets, Doug and Carrie try to find a way to pay Lou without sacrificing their evening plans. They ultimately decide to offer him a pair of tickets to a Knicks game instead, but when Lou reveals that he is a Celtics fan, things take a comedic turn.

Meanwhile, Arthur delights in tormenting Spence by constantly asking him to fix a squeaky step in the basement. Spence ultimately enlists the help of Deacon, Doug's longtime friend and coworker, to help him fix the step and get revenge on Arthur.

The episode concludes with an amusing scene in which Lou surprises Doug and Carrie by showing up at their doorstep with a group of his musclebound friends, all wearing Knicks jerseys and ready to watch the game. Despite the initial discomfort caused by the loud and rowdy group, Doug and Carrie end up having a great time watching the game with Lou and his buddies.

Overall, “Window Pain” is a classic episode of The King of Queens that delivers both laughs and heartwarming moments. The dynamic between Doug and Carrie is as entertaining as ever, and Lou Ferrigno’s guest appearance adds an extra layer of humor to the proceedings. Fans of the show and newcomers alike are sure to enjoy this episode.
