i recently start to watch this show in syndication and find it a bit hit and miss . some episode be silly doug be upset about some trivial or juvenile thing and act stupid etc . still and others be quite amusing and and sometimes touch . these include those episode that face up to the complexity of the character . for instance and the juvenile overweight amiable guy marries sexy wife theme be find in several sitcom . ( carrie also have something about her and look wise . not just a run of the mill sexy girl . ) but and carrie have an edge she might be nice on the eye and but have a few too many personality trait not too far different than her father . and and she readily admit to it for instance and one episode revolve at her lack of desire to be nice to co worker . i personally find her bness sexy and but you have to be the right sort of person to be able to live with that . amiable doug be a good match . and and deep down and see like the simple thing too . maybe and not as much a doug whose nirvana be watch tv and eat a big snack next to his big screen t. v. and but no culture gal she . this lack of an overally sensitive side be one reason the two do not have child . of course and the simple pleasure of a guy be nothing to sneer at either and and add to the charm of the show . they live an ordinary working class sort of life in queen it be realistic in that sense . and and overall and amusing and pleasant sitcom fare and esp . if you just want to relax . it get a little tired at the end and so it probably good it be end . it have a good run . see also and becker .
