Come on,admit it.
You've been up all night trying to write a script,or at least some lines for the characters.Ok,maybe not up all night,but I'm sure many of you have thought about it from time to time.I know I have.Here's your chance.You don't have to write a WHOLE SCRIPT.

But how about some possible imagined dialogue beteween the characters?
Maybe come up with a clever title or premise for an episode.

The playing field is HUGE!!I've got one I thought of last night.

Carrie and Arthur are in the kitchen having a general conversation:

Carrie:"Dad,don't forget you have your colonoscopy appointment tomorrow."
Arthur:"Ah yes.Or as I like to call it,"the probe with the strobe"."

I can so picture him saying that!

sweetdiggity · 04-19-2006, 03:44 PM

THAT is good!! I'm gonna think of one......

Season 12 Episode 9(hey,it's imaginary)

"Astronomical Disaster"

"While vacationing in Hawaii,the Heffernan's visit the Gemini Observatory where Doug accidentally breaks one of their telescopes."
"Meanwhile,Arthur hires Danny and Spence to repaint the senior center."

sanrio908 · 04-19-2006, 03:46 PM

that sounds like a cool episode.

sweetdiggity · 04-19-2006, 05:05 PM

Episode 617:

"Sunny and Share"

"Deacon, Kelly and Carrie drag Doug to the beach. Doug gets severely sunburned, while he's acting like a baby, and everyone else is enjoying the day in the sun, Arthur is at home 'sharing' Doug and Carrie's credit card information on-line, with what he thinks is a live auction for a one-of-a-kind, Mint condition Frank Sinatra collection, but is really a scam."

haha! I've never came up with dialogue, but sometimes I'll think "it would be funny if they had Doug and Carrie....blahblah."

For example, I'd love to see a Halloween episode where they go to a costume party, and Doug dresses up like a woman, or something!

ipswannebe · 04-22-2006, 10:28 AM

I have thought about that one too. I would love to see a good Halloween episode!

sanrio908 · 04-22-2006, 10:46 AM

i wanna see him dress up like wonder woman again like he did as a kid (can anyone guess what episode im thinkin about?)

jpcanes · 04-22-2006, 11:13 AM

I'm goin' with "Dog Shelter"...season 5.

sweetdiggity · 04-22-2006, 11:37 AM

Doug's mom insists it was an uncle sam costume!!!

Doug:"I was the only Uncle Sam with cleavage."

jpcanes · 04-22-2006, 12:00 PM

Carrie:"Why are you mad at me?"
Doug:"Oh,I don't know.Maybe because before you brought this whole thing up my life was perfect.I was an american citizen with a 27 year old dog...who just happened to be the biggest kid in Super kindergarten."

Thanks JP for putting yourself on the Frappr map. For all you other KOQ fans/addicts, here's the website:

www.frappr.com/thekingofqueensfanclub

Yes, I know I don't have D&C in Queens. I put in a request to have Queens, NY added to the Frappr map.

In any case, I have MANY AN IDEA for scripts.... But my TRUE LOVE is KOQ Trivia and... I just LOVE the set... Guys may not get this, but wouldn't it be great just walk around their "house," look at what books they have in that little nook you see when they're sitting on the couch. Ask Carrie what's up with all the Oriental rugs. Look in the cabinet to the left of the refrigerator and get yourself a Yodel, you know, make yourself at home...

Is anyone else out there into sets?
