This show is hilarious. You've got Doug played by Kevin James who is the loving and sometimes self-centered husband to Carrie played by Leah Remini. Now Carrie her character is witty and somewhat high-strung. Living with them is Carrie's father Arthur who appears to be one of the highlights of the show. This show was released in 1998 and I didn't start watching it until about a year ago and found it interestingly funny. Out of mostly all the sitcoms on TV this show has a realistic quality about it. King of Queens is a show focus on everyday life of a middle working-class couple. It's very rare to see a sitcom like this within the past decade. The humor is full of satire which makes the show catchable to enjoy. Arthur played Jerry Stiller is a well-known comic and as a supporting cast member he is terrific. King of Queens is definitely a show to watch week nights after a days work. Even the repeats are still enjoyable.
This is mainly for when you get home tired after a day at work and want to relax watching something familiar and mindless.
The chemistry between Remini and James is one of the best ever. Mr. Stiller steals the show whenever he is present, and Williams, Sullivan and Oswalt are credible characters.
Overall, the best of the light sit-com bunch and great for those of us who want to turn off our brains for a while after a hard day at work.

Kevin James (Doug) best part of his career was really well suited to the delivery role. Who is happy in his Job and looking forward to lunch, with his perfectly suited wife Leah Remini (Carrie) who has ambition to improve her life while Doug thinks things are all good as they are. Add to that Carrie's brilliant father played by Jerry Stiller and you have trio worth building a fun show around. Still a laugh easy watch worth going back to. As good now as it was on its release. For easy viewing.
I've only seen a few episodes of this show here and there, but I can honestly say this is one of my all-time favorites. It's funny, witty, and best of all, just absurd. I particularly appreciate the character of Arthur who always has something completely out of pocket to say. It starts off a bit awkward in the first few episodes - as most new TV shows do - but eventually the actors get comfortable with each other and really commit to their characters. Most of all, I appreciate that the characters, despite stepping on each others' toes every once in a while, truly care for each other. Overall, very funny and enjoyable!
