King of Queens has been one of my favorite shows for some time and one of the very few good comedies on TV. Problem is that CBS has just screwed with the time and date so much that it's made it lose momentum. I see that CBS has now moved the show back to Monday nights where it started and where it ALWAYS should have been left. This is one of those shows I love because they never take things too seriously. Like other greats such as Seinfeld and Everybody Loves Raymond, I don't think we'll ever see a "Very special episode of King of Queens" that's played for drama. NOTHING kills a comedy more than drama. This a wonderful show with a fairly small, but crazy ensemble cast of characters. Nicole Sullivan, fresh from Mad TV would become a semi-regular this season as a dog walker who walks Carrie's Dad Arthur!

Here are the highlights of season Four

"Walk man" Holly (Sullivan) a dog walker is hired by Doug to occupy Arthur's time as she pretends to be interested in his boring war stories.

"No Retreat" Doug and Carrie are invited to her company's retreat for a weekend and Doug isn't happy about it. Doug ends up lying to Carrie's boss when he claims to have climed Mt. Everest.

"Tricker Treat" A classic episode. Arthur it seems has a phobia about Halloween decorations and forbids Doug to put them up. Doug puts them up anyway and Arthur is so frightened by a paper ghost that he ends up in the hospital. Hilarious!

"Life Insurance" As Doug and Carrie check out life insurance plans, Doug is terrified that he might have to take care of Arthur if Carrie dies first. They install a camera so they can keep an eye on Arthur in the basement and Deacon and Spence have fun watching Arthur.

"Food Fight" Carrie is upset with Doug when he is infatuated by Spence's new girlfriend. Turns out she's a chef and Doug is infatuated with her cooking.

"Bun Dummy" - Doug is anxious to show off his beautiful wife at his high school reunion but hates Carrie wearing her hair in a bun all the time and tries to make her change it.

"Eddie Money" Doug and Deacon win $5,000 gambling on a boxing match but Doug doesn't want to tell Carrie because he stole the $100 for the bet from their emergency money fund.

Those are my favorites but there's really not any sour notes in this season. It's a great show and hopefully the move back to Mondays will boost the ratings.

hi im from england and just to say this is without doubt the best comedy series ever,just sit back have a nice cup of tea,knowing whatever episode you put on it will be fresh exciting and 100 % pure comedy genius we dont have this on dvd in england yet so we brought a multi region player just for this series whatever you do buy this dvd you will never regret it ever...timeless great charachters youll love again and again...this is why dvds where made.............

I love the King of Queens I have all 4 seasons I can't hardly wait for the next season to come out on sale. Doug is always so childish and Carrie is so adorable, I feel like my life is sort of like theirs.

Just like the previous ones this series is great for all to see!!

This is the best season of the King of Queens yet. It features the funniest episode where they put a hidden camera in Arthur's basement and start "Arthur TV". The chemistry between the cast is amazing, they feed so well off one another. This is Jerry Stiller at his hillarious best, a must have season for all king of queens fans. Unfortunately, special features only include previews which is disappointing. Other than, well worth the money being asked.

What can I say.....I love these DVD's. The King of Queens is a fantastic series, very funny and well written. Even though you can see the Heffernan's, Arthur and their friends develop with each new season, each season can stand alone as Dough gets himself into a different situation in each episode!! James, Remini and Stiller are excellent together, a perfect comedy team and they just keep getting better. As you watch you will wish for two things.....that they continue to make more episodes and that you really remember all those fantastic one liners so that you can use them on your friends!!

Good DVD transfer; no extras. There are at least three reliable guffaws in every episode, guaranteed. Jerry Stiller is ok but the chemistry between Kevin James and Leah Remini is really underrated--these two, whether trying to dance the salsa or cope with Carrie's cheap lasik at Vision Village or any of their other antics--are almost funnier than The Honeymooners.

I loved seasons one and two the most, but all 4 are quite comical. Jerry stiller really makes the show.....especially this season.

Anything to do with 'Kings of Queens' is great! Kevin James is hillarious! If you're a true fan, this is a must have item!

big fan of this sitcom.probably not as good as previous seasons but great laughs all the same.if you are a big fan of american comedies this must be seen.if you like seinfeld and everyone loves ramond buy this.
