  • Starring: Jerry Stiller, Larry Romano, Kevin James
  • Summary: The King of Queens revolves around Doug Heffernan Kevin James, Everybody Loves Raymond), a Queens, N.Y., parcel delivery man with simple desires. Among his prized possessions is a 70-inch television that his lovely wife, Carrie (Leah Remini, Fired Up), provided for him. However, now that Carrie's widowed father, Arthur (Jerry Stiller, Seinfeld), lives with them, Doug's television room has become Arthur's bedroom. Doug and his sports-watching buddies, Spence (Patton Oswalt, Crank Yankers) and Deacon (Victor Williams, The Animatrix)--and the beloved television--have been relegated to the garage, and Doug now shares his castle with a very eccentric father-in-law and his very unusual habits.Theme Song
    "My eyes are gettin' weary,
    My back is gettin' tight,
    I'm sittin' here in traffic,
    On the Queensborough bridge tonight,
    But I don't care cuz all I wanna do,
    Is cash my check and drive right home to you,
    Cuz baby all my life I will be driving home to you."    … Expand

    This is actually an underrated show. The three main characters (Kevin James, Leah Remini, and Jerry Stiller) are all hilarious in their own ways. Carrie (Leah Remini) acts as the bossy housewife and wears the pants in the family. She has a very sharp edge, but it comes off as forceful and assertive rather than just plain **** Doug (Kevin James) is like a big kid trapped in an even bigger body (they make numerous fat jokes at his expense). And Arthur (Jerry Stiller) is Carrie's father but he is broke, so lives in the basement. He, too, acts like a big kid and delivers some of his trademark tantrums. How the three interact with each other is authentic while entertaining. Even with all the show's humor, they still try to have underlying themes or lessons - at least in some of the episodes. The show usually tries to involve real-life type situations, but without being too preachy or serious.… Expand
