Paradise Lost

I watched the King of Queens this time around and I have to say, I could easily get addicted to this show. Doug and Carrie Heffernan are ridiculously funny together. They're so mean to each other sometimes, but in the end, it always works out. It's like no matter how mad at each other they are or how much they have to go through, they can make it work. They just make it more amusing with sarcasm and spite.

So tonight's episode was about how Doug surprised Carrie with a trip to a cute little hotel for a weekend getaway. It was going to be the most romantic and relaxing trip ever. Or so they thought. They get to the hotel and the first thing you notice are a bunch of cats all over the place. Then the hotel owner comes out and she is an older woman. Now I don't know about you, but an old big house with a little old lady and a bunch of cats just screams cheesy horror flick to me...Anyways, they sign in and go up to their room, which is very cozy and snug. They open the bathroom and low and behold, there is an old man washing in the tub. The owner comes in and starts yelling at the man who turns out to be her husband. Alright, right then and there I would have left the place, seriously, that is so wrong. But they decide to stick it out. So they go down to dinner and find out they are the only ones at the hotel because of a bigger hotel over yonder came into business, one with a spa and suites. Later that night, Carrie gets Doug to pack up their stuff and try to sneak out. Well, one of the cats had grown attached to Doug and followed them. When the owners came looking for the cat, Doug and Carrie made a run for it. Doug fell in a ditch thing and Carrie just kept on going, leaving him there. So Doug grabs the cat to make it look like he had found it. So he has to go back with the creepy couple and it jumps to a scene of Carrie dancing with a couple of guys at a club at the hotel with a nice drink in her hand. Yeah, it was funny, but at the same time, I was getting irritated. I mean, who seriously ditches the love of their life just so they could be in a fancier place. That just made her out to be a total you know what. The next day she comes back in her club get up and wants him to come to the hotel. Doug said no, that he was going to stick it out at the old hotel. I respected that, because he planned this weekend to be perfect for the woman he loved and it seemed like it wasn't good enough. Well, of course they work it out and everyone's happy again. I don't know, if that had been me, I would be pissed for awhile and would seriously consider marriage counseling to get some priorities straight.
