Summary: THE KING OF QUEENS REIGNS SUPREME...
Review: This is a value packed, well-priced, three disc DVD set that has the entire first season of this very funny show, including the pilot and two bonus shows for a total of twenty seven hilarious shows. Fans of Kevin James , Leah Remini, and Jerry Stiller will be in seventh heaven with this first season set. The show is sort of an updated "Honeymooners" and an absolute laugh riot. It is definitely a keeper and well worth having in one's collection.

Kevin James plays the role of the role of the portly, but adorable, Doug Heffernan, an International Parcel Service delivery guy and husband to the earthy and sexy Carrie (Leah Remini), who clearly rules the roost. They live in a modest house in Queens, one of the outer boroughs of New York City. Carrie's father, the idiosyncratic Arthur Spooner (Jerry Stiller), for reasons made clear in the pilot episode, also joins their household. His living with them adds to the many comedic moments of this popular television series. There is a funny group of friends, odd neighbors, and other assorted characters that drift in and out of the Heffernans' daily lives, adding to the comedic zest of this comedy series about middle class life in one of the outer boroughs of New York City.

The casting is perfect. The series is very funny with well-written scripts and excellent performances by its very talented cast. What more can a viewer ask for? This is an excellent, value laden, three disc DVD set, replete with a pilot episode commentary by Kevin James and the show's creator, Executive Producer Michael Weithorn. This DVD set also has a feature in which the cast of the series takes the viewer behind the scenes, as they look back on and reminisce about the show's first season. All in all, this is a value priced DVD with crisp, clear visuals and audio. It is absolutely one of my favorite comedies, and I am happy to have the entire first season. I look forward to getting the succeeding seasons, as they become available.

Summary: Deserves every penny!
Review: This is really great! I saw it in german, but it's a lot better in english (i admit, kind of logic..)
Kevin James is an incredible funny guy and works so good with Jerry Stiller as Arthur Spooner that the gags become never enoying. Buy it and take some holidays to watch it at once!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Give it 6 stars
Review: This show always has me laughing, the plots are always unique and off the wall. The angry Arthur should be annoying but he isn't. He is always LOUD and funny, as well as Doug, Carrie and the neighbors.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: He's huge
Review: This show is hilarious. The old man is a riot.
One question: Why is the hot broad with the big fat fatty?

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: This show isn't funny
Review: This show is not funny. There is no way that anyone could believe that his wife would still be with him. Jerry Stiller has never been funny, Kevin James is less funny, and I don't know how it has stayed on the air. This is a horrible show and I have never once laughed while watching it.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The BEST show out there!!!!
Review: This show is the best, funniest, and most entertaining I have ever seen. Kevin James is the funniest comedian in the buisness. I love his show. This should get all the reviews and all five stars too. I cant wait to get the second season. Along with all the seasons. I will keep watching this show until they run out of ideas. This is a great show as I said before. Hope you agree.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Great show, HORRIBLE DVDs
Review: This show is very funny..

The problem is that the quality of the video on these discs is absolutely horrendous. Most releases of TV shows include, say 6 episodes maximum per disc. The bitrate is so low that they can fit 11 episodes on each disc - and they are still charging the amount for 3 discs that everyone else is for a 4 disc set!

The quality of the video on this discs is really a disgrace, and totally against one of the main reasons people would by the DVD. They really should have compressed the video less and given us 4-5 discs. With the show in syndication, you can now catch up to 5 episodes some days. Just watch the show on TV and forget this set.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: King of Queens, the name says everything
Review: This TV show is one of the funniest and most realistic shows. I almost have seen every episode unfortunately in German, but I hope that we'll get that DVD also in Germany. The most interesting aspect on this show is of course that you can always compare the situations with your daylife. My girlfriend and I are always saying the same things while we're watching : " He is like you...." A fantastic TV show and I hope they will continue a few years. I can recommend that Comedy Show to everyone who is interested in good, intelligent and crazy dialogues. Forget Al and Peggy Bundy, Doug and Carrie are on top now..

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The funniest show on TV!
Review: You have to buy this box set! Kevin James (Doug) is very funny. Leah Remini (Carrie) makes me laugh sometimes even with just a look she throws at someone and Jerry Stiller (Arthur) has the funniest bursts of emotion. Even with all the funny shows on TV most have atleast a couple of episodes that fail to make you laugh. Not this 1st season of The King Of Queens. Guaranteed laughs on every episode. This is a must have. Looking forward to Season 2.
