Blue-collar couple Doug and Carrie Heffernan (Kevin James and Leah Remini) share their home in Queens, NY with Carrie's oddball dad Arthur (Jerry Stiller). Burly Doug, who makes a living as a parcel deliveryman, often has to scheme to find time alone with Carrie as Arthur can be quiet a handful, so much so that they hired a dog walker Holly to look after him. When he's not working, clashing with Arthur or nesting with Carrie, Doug hangs with his advice-giving buddies Deacon (Victor Williams) and Spence (Patton Oswalt) as well as his cousin Danny (Gary Valentine). Oddly their next door neighbor is actor Lou Ferrigno who plays himself and makes a couple of appearances a season with no explanation why he would be living in Queens.
