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!

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.

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.

Summary: Season episode list...

7. Get Away
Doug, Carrie, Deacon and Kelly all head upstate to a cute B&B for a relaxing weekend. But, Doug and Carrie become anything but relaxed after they realize that the R&B song coming from Deacon and Kelly's room means the couple is having sex.

8. Dire Strayts

Carrie invites her friend Susie and her very, very boring husband, Mike, for Thanksgiving weekend; and Doug is in pain over the thought of having to spend four days with the guy. When Spence indicates that it may be time for him to move out of his mother's house, Doug has a plan: he convinces Spence to move out and stay with him for a few days while he looks for a new place to live. But, Doug keeps delaying the apartment search hoping to delay it enough so that Spence has to stay through Thanksgiving - making it impossible for Susie and Mike to come stay
11. Sparing Carrie
The bowling team, which features Doug, Richie, Spence, Deacon and Carrie, is in jeopardy of losing their sponsorship from Cooper's if they don't win their next game. The guys make it clear to Doug that Carrie is the weak link and so it is up to him to "fire" her from the team so that they can keep their sponsorship. Carrie tells Doug she's fine with the decision but Doug is so guilt-ridden that at the next tournament he can't bowl worth a dime - making him the weak link now.
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. But, when the stock goes down a point, he panics and urges Carrie to sell; only to see the stock double the next day. So, they buy back in at double the price and vow to hold on to it. Meanwhile, Arthur is miffed that the new neighbors have a bigger wreath and vows to outdo them on the Christmas decoration front.

Doug's cousin Danny is getting married and Carrie convinces Doug that despite the history between the two, Doug should be his best man and throw a bachelor party. He reluctantly agrees, and sets about planning the event. But, when the night arrives the party is a bust - less than half the guests show up, the stripper is lame, literally, and the bill is astronomical.
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. But, Spence is so angry at all the past practical jokes that the team played on him, that when Doug asks him to set the record straight, all Spence can do is rant and rage on his former team mates.
15. Frozen Pop
A cold spell has hit New York and the basement where Arthur sleeps is an ice box. So, Carrie sets him up in her upstairs office until the cold snap is over - however, the freezing temperatures last longer than they thought and Doug and Carrie are about to lose their minds with Arthur just across the hall. When the weather finally does break, they assume that Arthur will return to his old room in the basement. But it seems that he has become quite comfortable in his new surroundings and has no intention of leaving.

Meanwhile, Carrie has to explain to a partner named "Doug" in her law firm why she told him she loved him over the phone.
22. Soft Touch

Carrie is appalled that Doug would buy into such a pyramid scheme but Doug sticks by his decision and now must sign up ten more people to sell the filter in order to recoup his investment. He manages to recruit only Arthur - and even has to spot him the initial investment, which only makes him more of a sucker.
23. Restaurant Row

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.

Summary: King of Queens is A +++++++++++

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!
