Rating: Summary: the most underrated sitcom on the air Review:
King of Queens is a lot like Wings, underrated! It's easily the best sitcom on the air...(personally i think it's ten times better than the rote Everybody Love Raymond) The second season is just as good as the first. I should dock a star for lackluster commentary track (how about some actual information? and where is Leah?? Come on...it takes half an hour!) Oh well, the show is too good so it gets 5 stars, Bring on season three!
Rating: Summary: The King Still Rules Review: I bought the 2nd season of King Of Queens today and it does not contain many special features. But that is ok its still good dvd with all 25 episodes, four previews, audio comentary on 1 episode, and a day in the life of Kevin James thing. I recommend this Dvd to all fans of the show. So all you fans of the King of queens buy the first 2 seasons of King of queens and every other that will be coming out soon, cause I know I will.
Rating: Summary: Amazing Review: I have every episode of KOQ recorded on my Tivo and I make all of my college roomates watch it. We watch a lot from the 2nd season.. my favorite episode being the "Paintball" one.The KOQ gets better every year and the 2nd season is by far one of the best. Every Friday night I am first in line to the KOQ taping :)
Rating: Summary: The Best Comedy Out There!!! Review: I have the the first season and the second season and both are just histaricle. My favorite episodes are...
Doug Out- After hurting Arthur's feelings, Doug takes him to a Mets game where Doug and Carrie end up sitting in Mets jail.
Net Prophetes- Doug gets a 3,000 dollar Christmas bonus and whats to toss it in the bank. Carrie whats to invest in an Internet stock called Shamany.After the stock goes down Doug freaks out and they sell it. When it goes up they buy back in. If you love King of Queens, you MUST get season 2!!
Rating: Summary: The Laughs Continue In Season Two Review: I just finished watching the second season of The King Of Queens. This season is about the same as the first (comedy wise). The writing is still great and very fresh. This show is still the show about the "common" guy and how he tries to get by in life. This season has a little more character development. Arthur becomes crazier and more obsessed. His classic line from this season has to be when he talks about getting beat up by a biker gang and a young man named "Road Hog" taking advantage of him. Doug becomes more aggresively angry and gets jealous a lot easier. Him seems to try to fit in with others better, i.e. becoming a big brother and trying to run a 10K. Carrie doesn't change too much. We learn that she is a chronic cheater at games, but other than that she is the same great character. As for the quality of the DVDs, this season is far better. The first season was a little fuzzy because they tried to put too many shows on one disc. There is one less episode on each disc this season and the difference is noticable. The special features are not as good as I would like, but the humor of the show is enough to hold this set up on its own. I would recommend getting this set if your a fan of good comedy.

12. Net Prophets
Doug gets a Christmas bonus and wants to put it safely in the bank, but Carrie has another idea - she wants to invest the money in a new online company. Reluctantly, Doug agrees.

14. Block Buster
Doug has a high school football reunion with his buddies, one of which is now confined to a wheelchair. During the party, Doug is surprised to hear the team attribute the winning championship block to Tom Busterman, the former player who now can't walk, when Doug has been so sure all these years that it was he who helped to win the game with the famous block. Tom can't remember blocking the other team, but accepts the accolades anyway. But Doug is furious and digs out an old video of the game to prove to the others that he actually brought them to victory. On the tape, however, it clearly shows number 57, Busterman's number, making the block. Doug is speechless until Spence tells him that he absentmindedly gave Doug the wrong Jersey that day - making it appear as if Busterman made the block.

Rating: Summary: The 1st season was great and the 2nd season should be great Review: I started watching The King Of Queens during its 4th season and ever since then I have seen almost every show since the 4th season. I got the 1st season for Christmas and it was worth it. There was not hours of special features but all 25 episodes are great and the bouns episodes from seasons 2 and 3 were great as well. So i can not wait for the 2nd season to come out in April. I hope that the 2nd season DVD will contain deleted scenes, a gag-reel, more interviews with the cast and crew, and commentaries by the cast and crew.
Rating: Summary: King of Queens is A +++++++++++ Review: If you want to laugh buy season one. I cant wait until season two comes out. If you haven't seen this series just buy the first season, relax and watch it all. I have watched it three times. Jerry Stiller is worth the money alone. You wont be sorry.
Rating: Summary: Television for the warped mind of a FAT SLOB Review: It is a tribute to the minds of the writers' who churn this garbage out week after week that wants people to believe that hot babes find these obese, moronic SLOBS attractive, a real catch. It's the same with Courtney Thorne-Smith on According To Jim, and Jami Gertz on Still Standing. Now don't misunderstand: I would rather eat a bowl of cholera-laden diarrhea than watch one episode of ANY of the aforementioned series. You can't help but see a minute or two of it on tv during primetime whilst channel surfing. It's a testament to all the actresses talents in these series to fool audiences week after week, straining plausibility to the max. The things they'll do for a paycheck. Moreover, when a fat, ugly, smelly hog of a woman shares cohabitative bliss with a good-looking hunk THEN I will shut up. Let's see it worked BOTH ways, HUH!
