    Missing this hide show

    I love watching this show on Comedy Central, it is one of those really funny sitcoms you catch when you bored in the house in the middle of the day and theres nothing on TV King of Queens along with Frasier and Everybody loves Raymond is such a funny sitcom to watch, I never get bored of these shows and they never fail to make me laugh. Doug is a really funny character and Carrie is funny too but Doug is the best. Kevin James did a great job on this show and he always makes me laugh. 8.5 out of 10

    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.

    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.

    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.
