The King of Queens revolves around Doug Heffernan Kevin James, Everybody Loves Raymond), a Queens, N.Y., parcel delivery man with simple desires. Among his prized possessions is a 70-inch television that his lovely wife, Carrie (Leah Remini, Fired Up), provided for him. However, now that Carrie's widowed father, Arthur (Jerry Stiller, Seinfeld), lives with them, Doug's television room has become Arthur's bedroom. Doug and his sports-watching buddies, Spence (Patton Oswalt, Crank Yankers) and Deacon (Victor Williams, The Animatrix)--and the beloved television--have been relegated to the garage, and Doug now shares his castle with a very eccentric father-in-law and his very unusual habits.

Theme Song
"My eyes are gettin' weary,
My back is gettin' tight,
I'm sittin' here in traffic,
On the Queensborough bridge tonight,
But I don't care cuz all I wanna do,
Is cash my check and drive right home to you,
Cuz baby all my life I will be driving home to you."less «

  I think the guy that handles continuity was off the night they made "Roast Chicken", just for kicks check out the salad bowl and the bowl of mashed potatoe's. They move around the table almost magically, Carrie has 2 helpings of salad, and Doug takes the cap off his beer twice. And the box of "fruit", I'm just guessing on that, it moves from off center of the table to right in the middle. less «

  10 Perfect

  This comedy show is an cbs classic show and very funny. hide « show »

  This show is about a middle aged man Doug Heffernan (Kevin James) and his wife Carry Heffernan/Spooner (Leah Remini) Carry's Mom dyed in season 1 so carry's father Arthur Spooner (Jerry Stiller). This family deals with problems in the world either jobs, relationship fights, or even Arthur. Doug and Carry finally got their baby at the end of the series. this show first aired in 1997 and ended in 2006. 9 seasons it took for another great comedy show that will no doubt be a classic. this show was on CBS at 8:00. This comedy show will be a classic show forever.

  Great comedy series! hide « show »

  I first started watching this show after it ended its run on CBS, and I was instantly hooked. All of the characters are extremely hilarious and the episodes are very entertaining. I love Jerry Stiller as Carrie's father Arthur, who lives in their basement to Doug's chagrin. Kevin James is absolutely hilarious, and Leah Remini is dead on. Even the minor characters are great, Doug's friend Spence and his cousin (Kevin James' real life brother Garry Valentine) Danny, and Deacon his friend in and outside of work.
  
  Overall this show is great to watch even if you haven't seen it from the beginning.

  8.5 Great

  I miss Doug and Carrie! hide « show »

  This show gave hope to the hopeless in so many ways. Did we ever really think that a delivery truck driver (no offense, I AM one, and know that I could NEVER afford to live in Queens, or, for that matter, anywhere near 300 miles of New York City). Plus, as I am, Doug was a heavier set male who landed an absolute knockout in Carrie. This is something all men who aren't Brad Pitt look-a-likes (replace Brad Pitt with whomever the woman of your dreams is infatuated with) dream about. Live for. Drink because of. This show was really great, and I sure miss it.

  6.5 Fair

  Okay show. hide « show »

  I don't think that this show was bad at all. I thought that it was kust okay and it was just average. The comedy was broing and I have to say that the acting was the only thing that saved the show from being bad. I thought they had some decent actors and actresses and it made for a fair source of entertainment. My favorite aspects had to be the relationship between the married couple. I thought they had good chemistry and some decent storylines. Overall, this was an okay show that lacked any special elements that made other shows great. Thank you.

  Doug Heffernan is a delivery driver who lives in Queens with his wife, Carrie and her father, Arthur. Doug likes hanging out with his friends, including co-worker Deac, Spence and Richie. His marriage is the main focus of this series. hide « show »

  The King of Queens was a spin off of Everybody Loves Raymond. In fact, Ray Barone makes several appearances on here and Larry Romano(I assume its Rays brother) play Richie in the early episodes. I actually like this show better than Raymond and it seems to have aged better than the former show. I think its because Raymond seemed to be about his parents almost every week and it got old after a while. At least here the focus is on the marriage between an average working guy and a typical modern woman(she likes being where she is, but occasionally aspires to something more. Carrie tries to get Doug interested in things like opera and movies that arent neccasarily filled with violence. I guess what I like about this show is that it feels like these are real people, not just standard sitcom cliches. The tensions in this marriage feel like they are the kinds of tensions that young couples across the country have to deal with. But mostly I like it because its very funny. Kevin James is very likeable even though his character is something of a slob and somewhat self centered. James once hosted a special honoring Jackie Gleasons classic "Honeymooners" and the comparision is very apt. If Gleason were doing the Honeymooners today, this is pretty much what it might look like. No, this is not sophisticated like Frasier or Dick Van Dyke but I still think this show is well written as far as the relationship is concerned and in that way is not all that far removed from Cheers. The chemistry between James and Leah Remini is what carries this show. Though I probaly should take this time to mention Jerry Stiller. When I first started watching this show Stiller made it kind of hard to watch. He has a tendency to be overly shrill and annoying(just like his character on Seinfeld). But watching the show again after a while, Ive come to appreciate the by play between Stiller and James and while I still find the character annoying, Ive found a level of tolerance because I like the relationship of the leads.
