So far, I've watched only a few of this season's episodes, but I laughed so hard, I had to put the others on hold. This Eighth Season has beaten the last by a long-shot. Kevin is even funnier (if that is possible)and Leah puts on her best ever performances. Absolutely the funniest show out there.

The eighth season of The King of Queens is just as funny as the others, if not funnier. There is nothing lacking in this series. If you love to get your laugh on, purchase this series. Kevin James is the best.

This series never fails to be top notch comedy.There are no weak episodes although there is not so much Arthur this time,maybe because he"s getting on a bit!Disappointing lack of extras but still very good value.I live in England but postage only took a week from USA (if you are from outside USA you need to remember it"s region 1)Cant wait for new and last series to be released,just a shame it will be the last.

Emmy voters, last year you made a step in the right direction with your nomination of Kevin James (the FIRST for the show in 8 years!) but this is your last chance to correct a big bowl of wrong by showing some well-deserved love for this, one of the funniest shows ever. I am especially begging for you not to ignore Jerry Stiller for performing the high-wire acting role of Arthur to comic perfection!

Kevin James is a master of physical comedy as displayed here in the stripper pole episode which is one of the funniest routines on a sitcom in years. This was the year he was finally nominated for an emmy but sadly lost.

The King of Queens never got tired even into its eighth and ninth seasons. The cast was still into it and the writing still funny week after week. Unlike many newer shows this show will be a timeless classic right up there with I Love Lucy, All in the Family, and Seinfeld. It never got the respect or attention it deserved but Kevin James and gang will be entertaining us for years.

What can I say about such a show?!!...My only wish is that it goes on for a tenth season!

I have all the seasons so far, and this is the latest that I have added to my collection and it doesn't disappoint!

If you are fan you don't want to miss this one.

Cheers.

I've always liked the King of Queens, but I just watched the first episode of this season and I haven't laughed out loud like that in a very long time. Carrie gets her "freak on for fatty"!!! ROFLMAO!!!
I will miss this show. It deserved a lot more recognition. Kevin, Leah and Jerry are wonderful actors.

Very satified, with quality, price and delivery. The Doug had me laughing for days after watching these discs. Great buy!!

Simply another GREAT Season!!! If you're a fan you need this box set in your collection.
