Show Summary

  • Ended
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.

    I recently picked up the complete series set on dvd (LOVE the IPS Truck design for the dvd case by the way) and I'm hooked. I had only ever seen a few episodes before and I instantly knew it was great. Well worth the price and it's an excellent value. I really love Doug and Arthur. They're hilarious together. Even Carrie is funny from time to time. Truely it's a great show that'll just continue to be funnier and funnier every time it's shown. I encourage everyone to watch this highly addictive series. Great work for such a great show :D!moreless

  • Kevin James and the rest of the cast star in "The King of Queens"... one of the funniest shows I've ever seen

    I miss this show very much and I wish that it never got canceled but I'm happy that they air the reruns on TBS. This show doesn't only star Kevin James but it stars other hilarious actors such as Leah Remini, Victor Williams, Gary Valentine, Patton Oswalt, Nicole Sullivan, and Jerry Stiller. I just wish that Nicole Sullivan wasn't gone all season 9 long but I am happy that she returned in the series finale. Doug (Kevin James), Spencer (Patton Oswalt), and Arthur (Jerry Stiller) are the funniest characters of this show. The other characters are also very funny but out of all of the characters. Those characters that I mentioned are my favorite characters and the funniest characters of this show. I don't have a problem with most of the episodes. The characters pretty much in every episode crack me up so hard. "The King of Queens" is a perfect show that will give you a very good laugh. I recommend this show to everybody and I promise that you all will get a good laugh out of this show... it just depends on what you want in a comedy show because I know everyone has a different sense of humor. Overall, Kevin James and the rest of the cast are perfect for a sitcom called "The King of Queens". 10/10moreless

    "Terrible"

    I can't help but be completely annoyed by this sitcom. It's like they didn't even bothered trying ro write good comedy, just rehash third rate jokes and hope it sticks. The worst of all this is that it's all so damm uninteresting and lacking in every way.

    To make things worse leading man Kevin James has a permanent "I'm so funny" smug grin on his face that would be tolerable if only he once delivered in the comedy department, which he doesn't, he just lies there doing nothing like a big unfunny baby. Which takes me to the relationship between the Heffernan's- easily the most insincere and poor representation of a married couple on any TV show, really headache inducingly obnoxious Remini spends the whole show as if it where a violent chore to even be around her own husband. Jerry Stiller yanking the few laughs on the show is doing a 100% repetition of his role as Frank Costanza in Seinfeld only this time his hints mostly tread on water due to the inability of the central duo in recognizing a joke even if it flew by them. The episodes just drift along in a stream of nothingness, their jobs add nothing and their interaction is even worse.

    This is not even a waste of talent, there is no talent here, this is a laughless creative desert.moreless

  • "The King of Queens" is just awful.

    By darkpuzzle, Jun 18, 2011 Report Abuse
    "The King of Queens" is TV series that tells the story of a blue collar couple played by Kevin James and Leah Remini who share a apartment with the Remini character's father played by Jerry Stiller. As you could expect from most sitcoms is the fact that the husband is causing problems and is fat and the wife is thin and overprottected. The father in law is just the oddball and the pretty much the same father in law cliche. This show is not funny and extremely annoying. The two main actors are overacting and annoying espically Kevin James. Thats the least of the problems with this show. The Main Problem is that there is no chemistry between Kevin James and Leah Remini. The only saving grace is Jerry Stiller's performance, which is o.k. "The King of Queens" is just awful, I laughed only once per episode.moreless

    This is basically a average sickcom. We have all the classic character that have been cloned time and time again. We have the fat, stupid husband who thinks hes macho and gets into problems. We have his skinny, attractive wife who is somewhat smart and uses that to put down her husand and prove that shes really the man and we have the crazy person that lives with them to provide more entertainment value when there are dull moments. Yep this show is just a average sickcom. Sending a joke out every five minutes hoping that there all hits but only half of them are slightly funnymoreless
