The King Of Queens (Season 4) DVD Review by Britt Gillette

A spin-off of the popular TV series Everybody Loves Raymond, King of Queens first hit the airwaves in the Fall of 1998. The show follows the life of Doug Heffernan (played by comedian Kevin James), a package delivery man for IPS (far different from UPS for you litigious-minded readers out there), and the show utilizes much of the same marital and relationship humor found in Ray Romano's blockbuster sitcom. With seven successful seasons under its belt, and even more yet to come, King of Queens is a hilarious comedy series well worth one's time and attention…

King of Queens revolves around the life of Doug Heffernan, a hard-working, sports-loving parcel delivery man living in Queens, New York. In his thirties, and married to a lovely woman named Carrie (Leah Remini - who played Carla's daughter on the hit show Cheers), Doug spends most of his non-working hours basking in the glow of his state-of-the-art 70-inch TV with two buddies who share his fanatical love of sports, Spence (Patton Oswalt) and Deacon (Victor Williams). But Doug's personal paradise suffers a devastating blow when Carrie's widowed father Arthur (Jerry Stiller of Seinfeld fame) moves in with the couple. Doug's TV fantasy room is converted into an in-law suite, and after several failed relocation attempts, the TV is pushed into the garage… Now Doug and Carrie must learn to share their palace with an eccentric, and oftentimes annoying, father/father-in-law with a penchant for messing up the couple's well-grounded routine…

The King of Queens (Season 4) DVD features a number of hilarious episodes including the season premiere "Walk, Man" in which Doug and Carrie decide they want to try to get pregnant once again (following Carrie's miscarriage several months earlier), but the problem is that Arthur is sleeping all day and then wants to spend all night hanging out with Doug and Carrie. To get some alone time, the two concoct a story and hire a stunning dog walker who pretends to be interested in Arthur… Other episodes from Season 4 include "Friender Bender" in which Doug and Carrie run into the back of Deacon and Kelly's car and the incident drives a wedge between the couples' friendship, and "Hero Worship" in which Doug contemplates following a lifelong dream to open his own sandwich shop…
