The caption is misleading in that it implies a misstep of some sort, hints at scandal, possibly even wrongdoing on someone’s part, which “took” the series “off the air.” No such “scene” eventuates.
@@FactsVerse I watch the block they play on tv land from 11pm to 2am every night! Lol for years. Right now I'm watching "Steve Moscow" DON'T WORRY, WE ARE WITH MOLD COMPANY.....NO NO WE LOOK FOR 3 PRONG OUTLET THEN WE GO!
I think Kevin had a Thing for Leah Remini !that’s why he dumped the wife in Kevin’s second show ! And he messed up that for doing it ! Because ALL you saw was King of Queens !
The King of Queens is timeless. It still holds up today…far better than it’s competition (Seinfeld, Friends) imho. It’s hands down my favorite show. Perfectly cast and very well written. I’ve basically memorized every episode. I’d consider myself a super fan. That said(and I may be alone in this assessment) I severely dislike the double-episode finale. I thought the characters and story got too serious and too dark..just downright mean. I appreciate that they tried to put a cute little bow on it with the ending scene…but by that point, the content of the two episodes had left too much of a sour taste in my mouth. I think I would love to see a reunion…but Jerry Stiller would be greatly missed.
Agree 100% I didn't like how they turned on each other and seemed so distant in the two part ending It felt as though they cheated on each other and that was a betrayal to the long term viewer. The final scene wasn't enough to make up to the viewer to create a happy ending. Sad way to end a great show
you forgot to mention that the show ended because kevin james wanted to do movies. the reason the last season was broken up into two parts, and only had 13 episodes, was because it had to revolve around him filming ' i now pronounce you chuck & larry' with adam sandler. that movie was a big success, so were 'paul blart mall cop' and 'grown ups' later on. even his small role in 'hitch' in 2005 was a big hit . kevin simply transitioned into another area, once 'the king of queens' came to a natural end after 9 seasons
All the regular cast members, along with the producer, met up in 2021. They did a Zoom connection with a lady hosting it for just over an hour. They all honored Jerry Stiller with a 15min memorial remembrance just to him. They also talked about a reboot of maybe a 2hr special or possibly a two night special with 2 hours each. I figured Doug & Carrie's children should be around 15 & 16 yrs old. Teenage troubles for them. Also Holly had been pregnant at the end of the series! It would be a great reboot!!!
I think part of why people tuned in less is because Carrie (Leah) got fat in real life. She was real eye candy at the start. Her youthful looks naturally faded over the years, too. The writers kept trying to do new stuff, eventually they ruined it, the Deacon character was a letdown when it turned out he was a doormat for his loose wife. They teased us with a possible Deacon-Holly romance which turned to nothing. As the series went on, backstories changed, too, which is always a turnoff. Carries sister disappeared, Richie disappeared a little later, too. Spence slept with a teacher in high school when he was supposedly a virgin in season 1, and Doug and Carries meeting backstory changed, too. It was *PAINFUL* watching a fatter, older Carrie trying to play an even younger Carrie than in season 1. The show had some good eps, some good seasons, but to say it was knockout from start to finish would be a big fat no. Part of the reason why the reviews overall are mixed.
Loved the show for sure. The ensemble cast was pure gold. I was in Atlanta a few years ago and Kevin James was performing his stand-up act at a local venue. We went and spent two hours laughing our butts off. He was hysterically funny and the audience was on the floor laughing throughout. And, during the entire two hours, he never once told a dirty joke or used vulgar language. Can you imagine a clean show from today's group of comedians? Just turn on any cable channel and it seems every comedian is telling one vulgar story after another.
@@ghoulchaser1 No it doesn't. Are you telling me George Carlin, Richard Pryor, Lenny Bruce, etc. weren't skilled because they didn't do clean routines?
I was disappointed when they stopped making news shows. After all those seasons together, they finally wrote into the story to let Doug and Carrie, become parents. Letting them adopt a baby from China, after almost not doing that, due to Doug's problem with Carrie and the apartment. Then she finally becoming pregnant. I would have loved to see more episodes of them with the children growing up. The show ended to soon. I watch the repeats every day, or on the week days. I loved both of their characters.
Yeah it was really ridiculous how they just out of nowhere, go and adopt a kid from communist China instead of just adopting a child from America that needs adopting
I disagree, watching a year of Doug and Carrie babysitting isn't the theme of the show we loved as an audience. It's an impossible transition, and only die hard fans like you would support it. The transition from being parents to babies to older kids only works if they're there from the start, like on Everybody Loves Raymond.
This show was and is the absolute truth.... Whenever them 2 do anything together it is wonderful.... And I’m still sad that the legend (Jerry Stiller) is no longer with us...
And Ann Meara. his wife , and Spences mother, who was funny on the show. I liked seeing them together. I'm glad they got to work together..I don't think they worked together on another show after the King Of Queens.
@@evamastrianni4744 Oh my gosh I wish I could remember the name of it but I remember I was seated in the audience of a theater just a few seats away from Leah
Haven’t you ever wondered if you appeared on screen in the background somewhere? Immortality! To me, one of the funniest scenes was when they were watching a concert, I think, and they start arguing without making any noise, just mouthing the words. It was hysterical.
@Facts Verse - I LOVE (yes love, not loved) “King of Queens” and still watch all the reruns!!📺 I wish they would have continued the show for a couple of more seasons for us to watch the hilarious Heffernan household with the kids!! Woulda been great, I bet!!! 👌🇨🇦
Same here. When it was on CBS, it seemed like a ridiculously lame show, a complete time-waster. I refused to watch. Boy was I ever wrong!!! This show is absolutely hilarious!!! I purchased Peacock network's premium subscription just to watch KOQ. I often marvel at how badly I misjudged this classic series!
The one thing that really never made sense was that Carrie insisted Doug quit his delivery job and take some sales job where he had to make a commission salary, especially since he wasn’t exactly a go getter in the job department.
@@Broadwayshowgirl You can't think too much about their financial situation because it is pretty unlikely they could afford a single family home in Rego Park Queens on the salaries of a legal secretary and a delivery driver. Even in the 90s when they supposedly bought it, the prices for houses were approaching a million dollars, not to mention the high taxes in NYC. They writers obviously didn't care about stuff like that (which is fine with me...it is a sitcom after all) but it would have been more realistic if the house had originally belonged to Doug's parents or grandparents and they had passed it down. I still really liked the show.
I have always LOVED “The King of Queens” I wish they could have done about 2 more seasons to see them with the kids & the hilarious circumstances they would have endured as parents!!! 😂😂That would have been gold! But I still watch & love the re-runs 📺😂😂 Lisa from 🇨🇦
I'd love to see a rebute or even a mini-update on the characters and what they ended up doing as they matured and grew older. That would be a lot of fun.
It looks like Leah Remini and Kevin James might end up on the Hallmark Channel. CBS, NBC, ABC channels don't do too much comedy sitcom anymore. CBS, NBC, ABC are focusing too much on woke and political Correctness these days. I really miss watching sitcoms like Kings of Queens and I wish that these kind of shows would come back. There is nothing on TV anymore that is entertaining for families to watch anymore. The sitcoms were a way to escape from everything that is happening today. Just pure entertainment no political correctness.
Sometimes it time to move on. Hard to find good shows these days and its always very sad for it to end. Progress creeps in, but KOQS will always have a following, thanks to streaming, syndication. Good video!
I still watch this every single night to go to sleep. I’ve done this for years. I start from season 3 all the way to the end, then start back over again. Although, I don’t like the last episodes.
Yes, I miss the show. I think it could have gone on longer, if season 8 is any indication. That season was so original and funny. Inn Escapable, G'Night Stalker, Baker's Doesn't, Apartment Complex, Buggie Nights, Knee Jerk, Present Tense, Sold-Y Locks were absolutely funny and among the best episodes, even at that later stage of the 9 seasons.
I have all the king of Queens recorded on sky TV luckily....my husband hates it as I watch them everyday when I wake and every night before sleeping lol. I just love them.... Especially Arthur Spooner who was played by Jerry Stiller who is Ben Stiller's late father RIP 🙏.
I've been watching the "King of Queens" since I was little! It is a great show! It's now on the CW. Sometimes, I'm up at 3:30 in the morning to watch it. I would have liked seeing several more seasons. It's cool that there's going to be a reboot! I've heard of "Kevin Can Wait". I've seen Kevin James in the movie🎬, "50 First Dates".
Damn shame truly such a great show. We now have the dvd 📀 so we get to watch it anytime 👍👍👍👍 Love the end when Arthur comes home and now the couple has three children LMAOOOOOO LMAOOOOOO 😅😂🤣 I believe this show could have gone on for many seasons 😊
He had something good with "Kevin can Wait", but actually ruined it when Lea Remini joined the show. She was grea on KOQ but I think her acting days are over. I saw her in a recent movie with Jlo and she was a trainwreck.
Even if people Didnt like the show they watched it because Leah Remini was so beautiful, hot, and sexy!( yes, there's a difference between the 3 adjectives)
It ended at the correct time. Actually, some episodes in season 9 felt a bit cartoonish (i.e.: ice cream truck, fight that Arthur copied for his senior citizen play, Adam Sandler and Doug break into a store, etc.). You can also tell they were getting tied at that point and Stiller was a much older man by then (RIP Stiller). Still, the show ended in a nice way and that and all the good seasons (which were most of them) is what people will always remember. It really doesn't matter that the last season was just so so.
Heck, Tim Allen was making 1 million dollars an episode on Home Improvement and that was during the height of his career when he was doing movies such as Toy Story and the Santa Clause. The least that CBS could have done was give Kevin James, Leah Remini, and to an extent Jerry Stiller because he was a veteran, "Home Improvement" money, because those three were carrying the load of their sitcom.
@@FactsVerse There are so many, but the finale wasmemorable. IThe thought that Doug and Carrie were going to possibly divorce added a new twist to the show, and of course, the comedic timing from ALL the actors/actresses was amazing.
There was a lot of inconsistencies in the show, especially the longer the series went. Such as how Carrie and Doug met, (at a nightclub or high school … which is it?!), their first date, the marriage, their neighbours the Sackskys, their dog Stanley suddenly vanished (no explanation), Carrie’s sister Sara was never seen again or spoken of after season one, Spence’s so called peanut allergy (season one he ate peanut M&M’s, season four he has a peanut allergy?), Carrie had two bosses throughout the series (first one was real estate, then at a law firm) but was played by the *same* guy, different names of course, Holly also played a character - not Holly - at a baby store when Carrie is pregnant early in the series, Leah Remini’s *real* husband played a handful of characters, the disappearance of Richie with no explanation and … how Doug and Deacon met and how long they’d been friends. There are a few more, but I digress.
Doug and Deacon met when doug went into the deliver job to make Carrie think he worked there. He took one of Deacons shirts and put it on after being told no by Deacon and Carrie comes in there asking Deacon if Doug works here.
There was a signing after the Comedians Of Comedy show and I asked Patton Oswalt "What happened?" He said: "Wouldn't we all like to know." It was something like "Don't be funnier than the star of the show." AHHHHHHH....
I love the King of Queens! It kind of jumped the shark in its last few episodes, but it's still a great show. One element of the show that always puzzled me was how much (physical) spousal abuse there was (always by Carrie towards Doug), and how it was played for laughs. And it was funny in those scenes, mostly. But I am pretty sure that if the roles were reversed in all of those scenes, And Doug was doing the exact same things to Carrie, it would have been a big scandal and maybe the show would have been taken off the air because of it. Weird how that was "OK/acceptable" because a woman was doing it. In any case a great, funny, well-written show with an outstanding cast.
I saw an interview with Lea and she said the show ended because Kevin James felt it was time, she wanted to keep it going. I would have liked to see a short series with them and the kids or even a TV movie.
The worse thing about how the show ended is the fact that they had to go to China to adopt a child. Way too many Americans choose to adopt foreign children, because in America you have to damn near be a perfect couple, and even then, it still takes years to navigate all the red tape. And there are going be A LOT more American children in need of a good home, with Roe v Wade being overturned.
I WOULD LOVE to see so much more! It wouldn’t be able to capture the original presence without Arthur but they could run an entire new plot as being parents and remembering Arthur through hilarious events with their own kiddos. My fingers will remain crossed! 🤞
I wouldn't mind having it back , even tho Jerry stiller has since passed on , but I love these shoes , including everybody loves Raymond , funny as hell !!
Doug(Kevin)& Carrie(Leah)& Arthur(Jerry.) Had an amazing chemistry! I didn't know it ran that long. I'd figured it ran 6 to 7 seasons. But, it ran 9 seasons 1short of a decade. WOW! I feel it couldn't made it. Through 1 more season successful!
Us there a chance The king of Queens could be rebooted. I believe it would still work even though Jerry Stiller has passed. You could work it around the kids at this time and how they handle what would be teenagers
