"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]

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

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]

One of the best tv series ever made. Many of the jokes and moments Doug has, a lot of people will be able to relate which is what make it even more funny. I definitely recommend this.

Es gibt in meinen Augen keine bessere Sitcom als The King of Queens. Auch beim 10 mal durchschauen macht es einfach nur Spaß. Gerade die Charaktere und Co machen einfach einen super Job. RIP Arthur (Jerry Stiller)
