The Saksky's - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Hello Everyone,

First time posting on a King of Queens forum. Loved this show. Watching it for the 4rth of 5th time on Peacock right now. Last time I watched it was in honor of the late great passing of Jerry Stiller, may he be remembered and blessed. Man could he make me laugh as Arthur.

My question for you guys is this. Is there a continuity problem between the episode where the Saksky's tried to get Doug to join in their pyramid scheme and he gave them $1,000 to become a licensed seller of the water filters where at the end of the episode he went over to get his money back and their home next door was completely empty as in the got as many saps to buy into the pyramid scheme as they possibly could then left town, then a bunch of episodes later they're back in the series next door again. Tis could have happened a few episodes before and then it would make complete sense as to why Doug and Carrie hate them and they didn't bring up the $1,000 that they owe them and hate them enough not to want to build a compound between their yard, hence the reason Carrie put the fence back up after the storm blew it down.

Any thoughts on this?

I guess that is a pretty big plot hole. They did vacate the house earlier so why are they suddenly back living in that house?

Definitely a continuity issue!

Maybe the episode with their last appearance was shown out of order?

It being shown out of order would make sense what Mr. Saksky asks "what do you have against us? Why do you hate us?" Eirber could have said "You took a grand for the stupid water filters." If it was in the episode air order.
