King of Queens

In the popular television show, King of Queens, we view a husband as they go through their daily life. Doug and Carrie are a very blunt couple who always tell it how it is. Doug is a overweight male, and everything he does is funny. Carrie is a slender, pretty female. This proves that it is socially exceptable for males to be overweight moreso than it is for females. The fat man in a television show is always seen as the funny, loveable guy. The fat woman is seen as overweight. This is a double standard that exists in our society today.
