Doug likes to think he is king of his two-story,
one family brick castle. His sanctuary is the garage
that houses his prized possession -- a 70-inch television,
a gift from his loving wife Carrie. But, the walls to
Doug's castle are closing in, as Carrie's twice-widowed
father Arthur, who lives in the basement, emerges every
day with either a new complaint, get-rich-quick scheme
or the latest bulletin on his various bodily functions.
Doug and Carrie cling to their loving relationship to get
them through, while trying to find privacy and peace in a
house with an active senior citizen. In the first season,
Doug and Carrie thought they had the solution when Arthur
took a job at the local pizza place. But, their private
time was short lived when Arthur lost the job after only
one weekend. In the second season, they resigned themselves
to the fact that Arthur was a permanent fixture in the
basement and were not too concerned when a lack of heat
brought him upstairs. That was until Arthur, of course,
realized the comforts he was missing down in the cellar.
In the third season Doug and Carrie were at odds over
several issues: Doug's purchase of a motorcycle had Carrie
in an uproar, certain that he would hurt himself in his
desire to be "cool." And, Doug finally agreed that the
bike was not such a good idea, especially when he realized
that he couldn't park the damn thing without injuring
himself. And, when Carrie became incensed at how she was
treated at one of Doug's favorite new restaurants, she
banned him from ever eating there again. But Doug's
appetite got the better of him.
Fortunately, Doug and Carrie both have jobs to get them
out of the house. And, although it may not provide them
time together, it does give each of them the breathing
room they need. Doug is always on the road in his
parcel delivery van and Carrie's a world away in
Manhattan where she works as a legal secretary.
For balance, Doug turns to his three buddies, who each
have their own unique perspective to share: Deacon,
Doug's best friend, is levelheaded and the cool voice
of reason when Doug gets upset. Spence, a toll-booth
operator, finally has his own apartment and has moved
out of his mother's house. Richie, a fire fighter.
While affable Doug is in the garage watching the latest
sports with his buddies, Carrie, strong-willed and fairly
opinionated, takes refuge in her female friendships -
girls that give her that all-important female perspective,
as well as a shoulder to lean on in a house,
basement and garage full of men.
