In the episode when doug went to carrie's for thanksgiving to meet her dad in 1993. in a more recent episode her and doug just started dating in 1995 and was pretending to work at IPS. the writers really screwed that up

Yeah. You found a "blooper." Mistakes in continuity like that are common in TV
sit-coms. They're not supposed to happen--but they do.

The writers of the show said they like little inconsistencies.

Yeah, because they're too lazy to look up what they wrote a few years before.
