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.

"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

Season 6 Review: What makes this season so good is that the Heffernans' luck has been so bad. Read full review

Tim Goodman

Season 4 Review: This is an everyman series, and James knows just how to sell that to the masses. The writing is sharp, and the oddball fringe characters (particularly Patton Oswalt) flesh out the show. Read full review

Marvin Kitman

Season 1 Review: But what makes this show different is Jerry Stiller. George Costanza's father is now Doug Heffernan's father-in-law. And what a riot he is. [21 Sept 1998, p.B23]

Michele Greppi

Season 1 Review: King grows on us, and there are laughs that are not nearly as predictable as the premise. [21 Sept 1998, p.75]

Ron Wertheimer

Season 1 Review: The performers are pleasant enough, and Ms. Remini almost gives Carrie some zing. But they can't overcome the stale setup. Read full review

Matthew Gilbert

Jun 20, 2013

Season 1 Review: A run-of-the-mill family comedy that wants to be the show that follows it, "Everybody Loves Raymond," but ends up more like a wan wannabe. [21 Sept 1998, p.C9]

Season 1 Review: Lame, trite. [21 Sept 1998, p.E-1]
