The King of Queens successfully introduced fans to Doug and Carrie Heffernan, a couple trying to live an easy life while also juggling work and Carrie's insane father, Arthur Spooner. Together with this couple, the show welcomed a talented secondary cast, including Deacon Palmer and Spencer Olchin. As such, The King of Queens was an instant hit due to its relatable characters and unique depiction of New York.
One of Doug's oldest friends, Richie Iannucci, was a key part of the first three seasons, adding a touch of comic relief to even the show's darkest moments. Though he wasn't a part of Ips, he still allowed fans to get a glimpse into Doug's slightly humiliating past. But, halfway through Season 3, the character disappeared, and many fans still wonder why he decided to leave the hit sitcom so abruptly.

Doug's love of classic literature is subtly portrayed through hidden details in The King of Queens, such as hiding books at work and expressing interest in joining a book club. Carrie, despite vocalizing her disdain for reality shows, secretly has a guilty pleasure for them, as hinted by various hidden details throughout the series. Lou Ferrigno, who plays himself in the show, is hinted to have a collection of Hulk memorabilia, with subtle references scattered throughout different episodes.

Kevin James wouldn't want to revive The King of Queens without Jerry Stiller, as he was an integral part of the show. Jerry Stiller died from natural causes in 2020. The sitcom recently gained some resurgence via memes of Doug and Carrie and discussions about the best episodes.
The King of Queens star and executive producer Kevin James explains why a revival can't happen. Debuting in 1998 by creators Michael J. Weithorn and David Litt, The King of Queens was one of the most popular sitcoms on CBS that ran until 2007 for nine seasons and a total of 207 episodes. It principally starred James and Leah Remini as Doug and Carrie Heffernan, a married couple living in Rego Park, Queens, in New York City. The King Of Queens cast also included the late Jerry Stiller as Arthur Spooner, Carrie's widowed father.
