Product Description
The man. The myth. The driver. Doug Heffernan (Kevin James) is The King of Queens but his wife Carrie (Leah Remini) really rules the roost. Doug is the ultimate guy s guy but he loves Carrie so much he s willing to sacrifice his tricked-out rec room (plus his 70-inch TV) so that her father Arthur (Jerry Stiller) can move in a decision he s regretted ever since. Doug s free time is split between quality time with his wife and play time with his buds. A parade of crazy neighbors and oddball citizens of New York s middle-class borough help make this show the reigning comedy champ. The King of Queens proves you don t have to have a huge castle to live like royalty.System Requirements:Starring: Kevin James Jerry Stiller Leah Remini Lisa Rieffel Running Time: 622 Min.

In the sitcom The King of Queens, comedian Kevin James has created a new archetype: the sensitive lug. This deceptively simple comedy bounces along because delivery man Doug Heffernen (James), though completely a guy's guy, constantly struggles to keep the world around him in a delicate emotional balance. Meanwhile, his wife Carrie (Leah Remini), though utterly feminine (and one of the sexiest women on television), uses the kind of no-nonsense rational approach that's usually a man's province. Add to this mix Carrie's father Arthur (Jerry Stiller), whose life as a fussy, self-absorbed retiree makes him more like their child than an adult, and you've got the building blocks for an excellent and durable show. The first season of The King of Queens quickly found its voice with stories firmly rooted in the everyday world, rarely spinning off into absurdity--and why should it, when there's such a wealth of humor to be found in petty neuroses (when Doug gets assigned an attractive young woman as a trainee at work, he gets hurt when Carrie isn't remotely jealous), ill-advised scheming (to weasel out of a traffic ticket, Carrie agrees to go out on a date with the cop who pulled her over), and juggling obligations to friends and family (just about every episode). Brilliant comic bits abound; one classic moment features Doug and Carrie having a furious argument in absolute silence at a cello concert--a scene that fuses deft physicality, well-developed characters, and sheer silliness. The King of Queens is a delight. --Bret Fetzer

 King of Queens June 20, 2009
Mulva Benes (Memphis, TN)
I never watched this series while it was airing regularly, but I started to catch some of the episodes at night in sindication. I am now in the process of buying each season on dvd.
I like the laid back aspect of the show. The supporting cast is just as funny as the main characters.

I own the entire series and watch atleast one episode each night. I have been doing so for over a year now! Needless to say, It never gets old!
It's not just the silly, outrageous, and hilarious things they say-- its HOW they say them. Especially Arthur- he's so dramatic and over-the-top at times yet extremely lovely and hilarious!
It is clear that the entire cast has wonderful chemistry and love for one another. I promise you, you will be quoting the characters when you dont even realize it!
My entire family, varying in ages, LOVES this show! Even those in my family who do not speak perfect english LOVE and LAUGH at the things Doug and Carrie and the rest of the cast do. The eye rolls, the expresions, the body language, the yelling and all their crazy mishaps, it's true, you dont need to understand english to get it and burst out laughing!
THIS IS MY ALL-TIME FAVORITE SHOW. 2 thumbs WAY up!
great first season May 1, 2009

It's reign, not rain. This show is very funny, take it from someone who can actually spell...and from someone not named monkeytot!

The King of Queens has to be the worst show I have ever seen! I tried getting into this show through reruns and I just couldn't. The acting between Kevin James and Leah Remini is painful to watch, there's no chemistry at all! The writing is lame and hokey. I hate this show, can't believe it lasted for almost a decade. Skip this one.
