Kudos to KoQ for bringing back the Chinese restaurant and owner from the Seinfeld episode where they waited for a table the entire episode and left. :D

My wife and I are big KoQ fans but we didn't really care for (much of) this episode. We found the parts with Kirstie Alley to be generally un-funny and kind of stupid.

The parts with Kevin James and the apartment, however, were pretty good.
I thought the same thing. Kevin James just "makes" the show. Not a fan of Kirstie Alley so the scenes with her and Leah Remini left me bored.

my wife actually said that this show has now officially "jumped the shark"....I'm starting to agree.

I do have to admit that Doug speaking "Chinese" was really funny.

I did find it ironic that they had Carrie eating tons of food ;)

heh. We had that thought too. :)

I must say though, that the parts with Kevin James saved this episode from reaching that point (in our mind). Although the 'special guest star' bit was lame-o.

As my wife said, "This show has really entertaining bit-players. It doesn't need special guest stars." And I agree.

I liked this episode. I too don't care for Kristie too much but, thought it was cool they made fun of her weight and she went along with it.

Plus Doug having his own place and not telling Carrie was great. Later she decides to stay there too instead of going home to her dad.

Obviously in the real world no way would the wife not believe that the husband wasn't seeing girls there.

The funny part about the second apartment is where did they get the money to pay for it? Doug always has to run his money through Carrie so I am wondering how he pulled it off...
I think Doug has somewhat entered Homer Simpson territory in the 'plot holes' regard. I mean, how did he do everything he did in this episode and still work at IPS?

I said the same thing about the money....they are or at least were always in money problems....but the show explained that Doug had worked out a deal with the Chinese place and that's when they showed him working there..and it was all at night. I guess before that he was able to "hide" $200 ($800 divided 4 ways between the guys) from his wife.

Actually....the silliest part about that whole thing is that Carrie has that huge office upstairs. There was no need for her to be downstairs in the first place.

One more thing....Since when did Carrie become a real estate agent? I sure don't remember that happening.

There was a recent episode where Spence was teaching Carrie how to talk - getting rid of her strong accent. It was because she was applying for a new job with the real estate agency. I didn't think she got it, but apparently she did. :confused:
I don't quite remember it that way...I do remember her applying for a new position, but not a job for a new company. I don't even remember them saying it was anything real estate related. I've just been assuming that because she has always been a legal assistant that that it what she is still doing.

We are probably missing some small storyline in a past episode.
