Summary: one of my favorite shows
Review: I loved this show since it came out. The 29 episode DVD of the first season is worth the money, no question. Every single episode is a riot.
Doug (Kevin James) and Carrie (Leah Remeni) have terrific chemistry (and Leah ain't too bad to look at either). With Arthur (Jerry Stiller) on board as Carrie's live-in father, his antics and schemes only bring the show to a higher level of hilarity.
Kevin James has an unbelievable quick wit, his comedic timing is impeccable and he is just one funny guy.

The story lines for this show are your everyday kinds of things, and the cast of the King of Queens can make even the most mundane of situations funny and enjoyable to watch.
I would recommend buying this DVD.
I can't wait for the second season. I am sure to be the first one to add it to their collection.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Underrated, Great Show
Review: I only very recently stumbled on this show, so being able to see the episodes from the beginning has been a real treat.

IMHO, King of Queens doesn't fall into the husband/wife sitcom trap of having plots you can spot a mile away. Neither Doug nor Carrie are portrayed as being the "smart one" while the other constantly looks like an idiot.

It's also nice to see a show where the black characters aren't just tossed in to show just how liberal the main characters are. Deacon and Kelly are Doug and Carrie's friends, period. No lame racial stereotyping.

If you're talking dollars and cents, you can't beat this set for value. There are twenty-five (I think) half hour episodes on 3 DVDs. (Considering the fifth "season" of Sex and the City only gives you eight episodes, I made a decision to spend my money on something else.)

This purchase was well worth it.

Summary: An experience like no other!
Review: I rarely watch sitcoms but some people were telling me how good this series was when it came out on DVD I bought it. And wow I laughed pretty much the whole time I watched the series.

I sat down and watched the whole set in 2 sittings, the time just flew by. And best of all just when you're sad theirs no more eps to watch you look at the extras and you see 2 more eps hidden! =D

The character development throughout the first season is great author is such a character ( as are everyone ) I remember author is sitting at the table and tells Doug he would like to go to "dominoes" and Doug's like who and realizes its dominos. Author is just way to funny and highly paranoid and goes overboard pretty much every episode. And you have Spence (a guy who is in his 20's and lives at home with his mom) who is also a great addition to the show (the Valentines Day episode is truly evil for him!). And of course the whole show is full of moments of true greatness. The Thanksgiving Day episode was funny from beginning to end as are most episodes.

Some reviewer said the video quality was bad on these DVDs, id have to disagree, I have a big ws high def tv and even though I had to watch the DVDs in 4:3 mode the quality was still decent ( I mean the show was shot in 98 and like most sitcoms they didn't use high def back then ). The audio is very clear also.

This whole set is very much worth the price. You would be hard pressed to be this entertained for less than $1.50 an half hour!

Buy the DVD and give it a chance im sure you will agree that it's an amazing show and you too will be waiting April when season 2 comes out!

Summary: One of my ten favorite shows
Review: I started watching the King Of Queens during the 4th season and it gets funnier and funnier. When I found out that the 1st season was coming out on DVD i knew i had to put it on my Christams which I did. I am glad I did. This was worth it. I bought the 2nd season today and I am going to continue to buy every other season tha's comes out.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: One of the best shows ever.
Review: I started watching this show a few months ago. I immediately fell in love with the show. Kevin James is a wonderful comedian. The art on the DVDs are superb. The quality of the DVDs are crisp and clear. I would place this show in the same category as Cheers or The Cosby Show. Each show combines a great story along with comedic content.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The Heffernans
Review: I used to see Doug(Kevin James) on "Raymond" and I must say, they put together a better show with "King". A very simple and hilarious comedy. It's my new favorite over the Simpsons and Seinfeld.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: A Kinder, Gentler "Raymond . . ."
Review: If you USED to like "Everybody Loves Raymond" before the tone became bitter and nasty, then you will really like "The King of Queens." My husband and I are just discovering this warm and very funny series on DVD. Makes a great gift. Super-talented cast--Jerry Stiller is one of our nation's most talented living comics.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: KING OF QUEENS - real comedy that makes you laugh everytime
Review: In simple, this show is the best comedy on TV in many years. Fans of REAL comedy, TRUE comedy will enjoy this DVD and the show at first watch. The cast is entirely enjoyable and funny. Jerry Stiller needs no write up. You know him and his style. If you're a fan, you have no worries. Leah Rhemini and the assorted cast of friends on the show are all well played and sure to deliver laughs every week.

Main charcter Doug Heffernan (Kevin James) maintains a classic style of comedy people love from Don Rickles, Chevy Chase and John Belushi. This is the close thing to the Honeymooners since... the Flinstones. Same thing. Everybody Loves Raymond has won the awards, but when it comes to laughs and truly funny comedy; there is no comparison. Raymond and Becker pale in relation. I like to think I know comedy very well. That being said, I have NEVER watched this show and not laughed a good amount of times. It's the only show I've followed for more than a couple of seasons. It's timeless comedy and it's run on the air for over 6 years is proof it's not going anywhere. (Hopefully CBS reads that)

Enjoy. This is a terrific show to watch and own. Kevin James is the King of Queens and the King of Comedy. (I am not related to, nor work for Kevin James. No, I'm not a stalker either)

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: I haven't laughed so hard in awhile
Review: Kevin James and Leah Remini (Saved by the Bell's beach episodes) have excellent chemestry as husband and wife in The King of Queens. It's always funny and entertaining. I don't think I saw one that wasn't hilarious. Jerry Stiller steals the show as Remini's father though. He means well but he can't help if he's a little nuts. He's always unpredictible too, never know what he'll do next. That Richie character can be annoying though, he's such a rip-off of Joey from Friends. He talks like him and acts exactly like him. Some other things can seem like you've seen them before in other sit-coms as well but still the actors are fun and charming and make everything work.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Great Chemistry!
Review: Kevin James and Leah Remini have great chemistry together. Lately, on television sitcoms, it has become the norm to team up average looking husbands with wives that are babes. This show succeeds with that formula because these two are believable as a married couple. The writing is excellent, and the characters are all very funny in their own way. Victor Williams is great as Doug Heffernan's best friend, Deacon Palmer. Patton Oswalt as Spence, is also superb. The whole cast just works! I will definitely pick up this DVD for my collection, and will be waiting on the next few seasons to be released on DVD as well!
