Evil Media: King of Queens

I dont' see an episode title for this particular piece of crap.. but it is such crap.

We've got lead character Carrie who uses her friend Holly, on a regular basis. In a different episode, Carrie is sick so she guilts her friend Holly into bringing her home cooked meals every day. Then when it is Holly who'se gotten sick, she doesn't even notice or care. And Holly doesn't tell this woman to go to hell?

In this particular episode, Carrie apparently doesn't want to ask Holly straight out to borrow her van, but rather tricks her into thinking she wants Holly's advice in redecorating. Of course it backfires because Holly takes her seriously, and so Carrie has to ingeniously figure out reasons why she won't follow Holly's suggestions.

This is a popular show...what is this woman Carrie showing the young kids who watch this piece of crap? That it's okay to deceive people who think you are their friends? That people are so desperate for friendship that they'll allow themselves to be used by people who claim to be their friends?

The other plot is Doug and Deacon in a restaurant. Doug insults a waitress - a short woman. The woman threatens him physically, "I'm going to gut you like a deer." This is so not funny. If it had been the other way around, the patron would have called the police and the male waiter would have been thrown in jail. But because the "victim" is a male and the aggressor is some short woman - albeit a New Yorker, we all know they like to fight - they think it's funny?

I'm all for women sticking up for themselves and being able to karate chop an attacker, male or female, into submission. But "catfights" between two women (or girls, even, sadly) because one girl dared to kiss the other girl's boyfriend?) or women beating up on their boyfriends because they know they can (because it is the man who will go to jail should he dare to retaliate against her)... that is simply unacceptable, and to make jokes about that kind of behavior is not funny at all.
