DVD Reviews of The King of Queens - The Complete First Season
DVD Review: Wow, The King of Queens Beat Newhart To DVD?!
Summary: 4 Stars
I didn't start watching "The King of Queens" right away. I knew it was from the producers of two my of all-time favorite sitcoms "Mr. Belvedere", and "Ned & Stacey", and yet I didn't get around to watching it until the end of the first season. Even then I only watched it because a TV buddy of mine kept urging me to check it out because he thought I might get into the show like I did with Ned & Stacey. It took a few episodes, but The King of Queens eventually grew on me, becoming my must-see Monday night comedy. In fact, it's the only comedy that I watch on CBS. Everybody loves Raymond, except me. For me, The King of Queens really was the King of CBS Monday night comedy. CBS, stupidly, moves the show to Wednesdays this season. But, I digress.
"The King" is Doug Heffernan, a hefty IPS parcel driver played with great comedic cluelessness by comedian Kevin James. James is hilarious with his dopey facial expressions and reactions. Doug lives in Queens with his wife Carrie, a legal secretary played with gusto by Leah Remini - who FINALLY found a sitcom that truly suits her spitfire talent. Doug's happy home is usurped by the presence of his father-in-law Arthur Spooner played by Jerry Stiller, who basically does what he did in Seinfeld, but somehow makes it still seem fresh in this show. I crack a smile at how he always greets Doug with "Douglas."
Doug & Carrie's marital dynamic is reminiscent of Ralph and Alice Kramden from The Honeymooners. Physicalities aside, the similarities are undeniable. Doug and Ralph are both hefty, hard-working, blue collar guys who both drive for a living, with schemes that always incite their wives. Alice and Carrie both have spitfire personalities, and are not afraid to speak their minds, and yet totally devoted to their husbands. Doug's friends Deacon Palmer (Victor Williams), Spence Olchin (Patton Oswalt), and cousin Danny Heffernan (Gary Valentine - Kevin James' real-life sibling) alternate as Ed Norton facsimilies.
The episodes themselves have a quirky charm that fans of Newhart and Ned & Stacey will appreciate. Given Ned & Stacey's premature demise, I didn't want to get attached to another Michael J. Weithorn show, because I didn't think it would last. That was five years ago, and the show is still on the air. With this DVD, I can now see all of those original episodes that I missed out on complete and uncut. And so can you. Long live The King of Queens!
