Alphabetizing example(s) "R" and "S" got a bit skewy. Re-ordering.
* RealLifeWritesThePlot:
** Kevin James lost 40 pounds in 2003, and this was written into the Season 6 two-part premiere. He quickly gained the weight back, however, making these episodes something of a CanonDiscontinuity compared to the rest of the series.
** Leah Remini's body shape and general appearance changed noticably over the run of the show. This was explained InUniverse as the Spooner women having a tendency to become more comfortably shaped (fatter) as they grew older.
* TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: Carrie finally loses patience and gives Arthur an epic one in "Foe: Pa":
---> '''Carrie''': News flash, OK? You were never there for me, Dad. You never-you never are, you never were. And you know what, when I was sitting there trying to hold that interview together and I was looking through that glass, do you know what I saw? What I've been seeing my whole life: a lousy father. A selfish, overbearing, lousy father!

* ReTool: The title, now solely a pun based off of where the characters live, used to have a bit of a double-meaning, since Carrie's sister Sara was initially a big part of the cast, making plural "Queens."
* {{Retcon}}:
** When Pruzan first appeared, he was just a pathetic co-worker of Carrie's. Later, he was made into her boss (indeed, several episodes, including "Cello Goodbye", showed her with different bosses).
** In the episode where Arthur temporarily moves out into an apartment he can't afford, Doug compliments his piano playing abilities. In a later episode he tries getting some fast money by "teaching" children how to do just that but is completely incapable of doing so. Interestingly, among the main characters there doesn't appear to be a single person who can actually play the piano, yet there it is smack dab in the middle of the Heffernan's living room.
** Doug and Carrie's story of how they met, Carrie's childhood, and several other plotlines.
* RightBehindMe: On the episode titled "Eggsit Strategy", this trope is satirized. Carrie is talking to her coworkers about her boss, Mr. Kaplan, in an unflattering way. When her coworkers have blank looks on their faces, she is worried that her boss is standing right behind her, but he isn't.

* LivingInAFurnitureStore: Carrie makes additional money, at least for a time, playing the role of an idealised housewife whose purpose is to make houses for sale look like attractive buys. When prospective buyers turn up to view, Carrie and her family [[note]]Actually child actors hired in for the day via an agency[[/note]] are there, doing ordinary family things and enhancing the idea that this house is a great family home to live in. Naturally, Carrie and "her" children are being happy-homely in a very well-tended furniture store - no detail is left unattended to foster the warm illusion, so as to sell homes.

Added DiffLines:
* SellingOnesOwnHair: In the episode "Sold-Y-locks", Carrie Heffernan sells her hair to a wig-maker to turn a quick buck. (In a case of RealLifeWritesTheHairstyle, actress Creator/LeahRemini chose to go to a shorter bobbed hairstyle in real life; the episode was quickly written to explain her new hairstyle InUniverse.)
