Amazon.co.uk Review
Like its characters, The King of Queens is a unpretentious but utterly dependable sitcom. Kevin James and Leah Remini, as blue-collar couple Doug and Carrie Heffernan, have the kind of chemistry that every sitcom craves (but far too few have). Layered on top of this solid foundation are the bizarre flights of Jerry Stiller as Arthur, Carrie's loud, paranoid, and combustible father. The second season has no overarching plotlines or recurring themes; it's just a compilation of excellent material, including Doug's ego inflating when a waitress flirts with him; Doug and Carrie squirming when their best friends ask them to be godparents; Doug discovering that Carrie compulsively cheats at games; and a flashback to when they first met. It's the attention to emotional detail that makes the show fly; James and Remini take the most mundane material--say, an argument over where to go for a vacation or how their marriage lacks romance--and turn the many ways in which couples cope into a pugnacious duet. Their sparring not only is funny, but consistently rings true as irrational but oh-so-common human behavior. The show pulls you in all the more because the Heffernans make up just as often as they fight, demonstrating one of the most functional marriages on television. It's meat-and-potatoes comedy, but sometimes nothing else will hit the spot. --Bret Fetzer
Synopsis
KING OF QUEENS follows the workaday lives of married couple Doug (Kevin James) and Carrie (Leah Remini), who share their home with Carrie's oddball father Arthur (Jerry Stiller). Many humourous complications arise from this less than ideal living arrangement; Doug--a deliveryman for the fictitious IPS--finds his privacy encroached upon but doesn't really have much say in the matter and tries, somewhat ham-fistedly, to keep the peace. When his boorish behaviour lands him in hot water with the missus, he seeks out the counsel of his wise buddies, who are always on hand to offer advice to their hapless friend. This release contains every episode from Series 2.
