king of queens Review Summary

"Funniest show since Seinfeld" is how fans of King of Queens feel, even after it, too, has left the primetime airwaves. It's a valid comparison with Jerry Stiller having a role on each. Some reviewers feel the script itself is average, while the comedic genius of the show comes from "the actors that breathe life into King of Queens," with kudos going out to Stiller, as well as Kevin James and Leah Remini as well. Other reviewers feel the writers "do such a good job of varying the storylines revolving around all the actors that you don't get bored" and that the "clever quips keep you rolling." Fans wish King of Queens hadn't have ended when it did as it's one that "will never go out of date." Reviewers still find themselves making King of Queens part of their regular TV habits, often watching reruns back to back.

The script standing alone is average. its the comedical genius of the actors that breath life into this king of queens. Stiller is guranteed laughs every time he steps on screen and Doug heffernin can make any saying funny. even the wife has her moments. i dare you to find an episode that doesn't have you in stiches

I started watching the King of Queens when it came on syndication.  Doug and Carrie are hiliarious.  I like the fact that she stands up to him.  There ar times on the show that I think that Doug is a big kid that will never grow up.  Carrie holds the marriage together and makes Doug accountable when he does something foolish. His friends come around to "play" but when they go home, especially Deacon, he knows that he has to go home to a wife and children so he resumes the role as husband and father.  Carrie's father, Arthur is very arrogant and is Doug' nemesis.  I remember Jerry Spiller...

I HATE THAT THESE SHOWS GO ONLY UP TO 9 SEASONS. THIS IS 1 OF MY MOST FAVORITE SHOWS EVER. THEY MAKE ME LAUGH SO MUCH WITH THE THINGS DOUG DOES. BEING A FEMALE I WOULD LOVE TO HAVE A HUSBAND LIKE HIM,,LOL. ARTHUR CRACKS ME UP ALOT ALSO ALTHOUGH HE COULD GET YOU MAD FOR BEING AN A** BUT ITS FUNNY AND ILL ALWAYS WATCH IT JUST LIKE MY 9 SEASONS OF SEINFELD AND 9 SEASONS OF I LOVE LUCY THIS IS ONE THAT WILL NEVER GO OUT OF DATE. THE ONLY COMPLAINT I DO HAVE THO IS THE LAST EPISODE WAS NOT THE WAY I IMAGINED IT ENDING. I FELT LIKE I NEEDED MORE OF AN ELABORATE ENDING WITH A SONG THAT HAD MORE FEELING... review »

The King of Queens is a hilarious show!  From Carrie's strong New Yrok accent to her father Arthur, living in their basement, it's a great show!  I lvoe seeing how CArrie and her hsuband Doug relate to each other and how Doug deals with his father-in-law living in their basement and living off of them.  EVerything Arthur says is hilarious!   He's always up to some new scheme or planning something crazy.  Doug and Carrie and are a  typical American  middle class couple, who don't have any children yet so it's jsut the two of them, well three including the father/father-ij-law living in the...

This is one of my favorite shows.  The cast of characters is so varied but play off each other really well.  I find something to laugh at in every episode.  Doug and Carrie are almost total opposites but yet are a perfect match for each other.  The writers do such a good job of varying the story lines revolving around all the actors that you don't get bored no matter how many episodes you watch.  I can watch back to back shows from 6:00 pm - 7:00 pm Monday through Friday, so for me this is a perfect way to unwind after a stressful day at work.

King of Queens is one of the funniest shows that I have or ever seen. I enjoy watching the reruns as they come on daily and I am sorry that the series went off. Ben Stiller is so funny as the father-in-law that will never move out of the basement.  This is a show that several people are able to relate to in their daily lives. Doug's job in delivery services and Carrie's job in an office shows everyone that life can be difficult,yet there always seems to be a silver lining or ray of hope when you are in love with each other.

I have bought the entire dvd collection of this series and im not disappointed.  Every episode i catch myself laughing out loud sometimes more then once, sometimes i even cry because im laughing so hard.  The mixture of a fat funny guy and an attractive woman really works.  The chemistry between the two is unmatched.

I love The king of queens... Its an awesome show and ity relates to alot o things that i have seen in reality itself... The father is stubborn like my father n tries to take over n be the bis bossman... IO think he should be included in scenes alittle more often then usual.. He brings in alot of great character to the show

This is hands down my favorite sitcom ever!  My husband and I watch an episode almost every night, and find ourselves using doug and carrie euphamisms all the time.  If you haven't seen it, I guarantee you'll love it!  I only wish this would have been around for a few more years!

King of Queens is a hilarious show!  The main character makes me laugh.  He is such a goon and sometimes a complete idiot!  I like when he tries to get out of things because some of the things he says are completely stupid but they make me laugh sooo much!

This show makes me laugh constantly..I have all the seasons on DVD. Definitely a must-have. Makes a good gift for Christmas too..The characters are all hilarious, it is not a slapstick comedy, it is clever and witty.
