Product Description

Season 1: The man. The myth. The driver. Doug Heffernan (Kevin James) is The King of Queens, but his wife Carrie (Leah Remini) really rules the roost. Doug is the ultimate guy’s guy, but he loves Carrie so much he’s willing to sacrifice his tricked-out rec room (plus his 70-inch TV) so that her father Arthur (Jerry Stiller) can move in, a decision he’s regretted ever since. Doug’s free time is split between quality time with his wife and play time with his buds. A parade of crazy neighbors and oddball citizens of New York’s middle-class borough help make this show the reigning comedy champ. The King of Queens proves you don’t have to have a huge castle to live like royalty.

Season 2: The King is back! Funnier. Feistier. And more lovable then ever. Doug Heffernan (Kevin James) returns as the delivery guy with the whole package. Along with Carrie (Leah Remini) and his tenacious father-in-law Arthur (Jerry Stiller), Doug turns blue-collar humor into red-hot laughs. When he's not punching the clock, he's working overtime to be around everything he loves the most - his wife, his buddies and his big screen TV. No matter where trouble finds him, Doug faces it with a smile in his heart, and a pastrami sub on his plate.

Season 3: It’s good to be King! Kevin James continues to deliver the laughs as parcel deliveryman Doug Heffernan in the third hysterical season of The King of Queens. In these 24 uproarious episodes, Doug, his loving wife Carrie (Leah Remini) and his royal pain of a father-in-law Arthur (Jerry Stiller) hold court over such regal issues as paintball parties, job strikes, expanding waistlines, cheating husbands and positive home-pregnancy tests. So join Doug and his noble entourage of family and friends in this crowning collection of sidesplitting comedy and laughter – uncut, unedited and commercial-free.

Season 4: All hail The King of Queens - because he's funnier than ever. In this outrageous and unforgettable fourth season, parcel deliveryman Doug Heffernan (Kevin James) continues to juggle the intimate moments of marriage with his lovely wife Carrie (Leah Remini) while sparring with that royal pain in the basement - father-in-law Arthur (Jerry Stiller). With such hilarious mishaps as hoarding an airplane's oxygen mask and installing a hidden camera to spy on Arthur, you, too, will crown this hilarious hit-comedy king.

Season 5: It's the fifth season of The King of Queens and the laughs are bigger than ever! Join Kevin James as Doug Heffernan, the down-to-earth deliveryman who's livin' life large, Leah Remini (Carrie), his spitfire wife, and Jerry Stiller (Arthur) as their wacky but loveable perennial houseguest. This season, Doug and Carrie's Valentine's Day plans get sidetracked by a gang of penguins, a real dogfight occurs when Arthur is forced to make room for a new puppy, Doug deals with Super Bowl anxiety, and Carrie's habits land her in a shopping intervention.

Season 6: In season six, Doug (Kevin James) gets buff, Carrie (Leah Remini) gets jealous and Arthur (Jerry Stiller) gets even wackier, as the Heffernans keep on delivering the laughs in King of Queens. This season, Doug squares off against his junior high school arch enemy, while Carrie gets in touch with her inner 'couch potato' and Arthur runs away from home. You'll see all the regulars you love, plus stars like Judge Reinhold, Janeane Garofalo, and Jon Favreau in hilarious guest appearances. Anne Meara and Rachel Dratch are back to add to the fun.

Season 7: The bases are loaded with laughs in the seventh season of The King of Queens. Doug and Carrie Heffernan continue their winning streak of comedy. Doug fakes cardiac arrest at Carrie's work event to cover up his inability to remember her co-workers' names. Carrie scores box seats to a Mets game, only to have Doug strike out with her boss. When Doug's parents come to town, Arthur (Jerry Stiller) is more than happy to entertain Doug's bored Mom. Arthur settles a decades old vendetta against a game show, solves a crime of a missing wallet and learns the power of digital photo editing. Carrie faces turning 35, Doug faces the DMV, and they both face an intense timeshare sales weekend. All this, plus guest stars like Burt Reynolds, Lou Ferrigno, Anne Meara and Hal Linden. It's a grand slam of laughs.

Season 8: Get ready for a box full of comedy in the eighth season of The King of Queens. Doug Heffernan and his wife Carrie keep the laughs coming when they both try pole dancing, but with different results. Doug’s sudden interest in personal grooming causes Carrie to investigate. Arthur brings home a set of sheets from a motel, along with thousands of bed bugs. Doug and Carrie find that a quaint bed and breakfast might be a little too rustic. Plus tons more laughs and great guest stars, including Kirstie Alley, Ray Romano and Huey Lewis.

5.0 out of 5 stars Truly a classic, One of the best- Crack yourself laughing from season 1 right through to season 8, July 11, 2007

By	A. Hussein "Addicted to Amazon.com" (Sydney, Australia) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I purchased the King of Queens Seasons 1-8 and i am enjoying watching every moment of the show. It stars my favourite TV actor Kevin James as (Doug hefferman)and Leah Rimini as (Carrie Hefferman). It will always remain one of my favouite Sitcoms ever.

If you are thinking of buying the King of queens 1-8 don't wait, It's worth every cent.

ABOUT THE SHOW:

Set in the working-class suburb of Queens, New York, the show follows Doug Heffernan (Kevin James), an amiable deliveryman, and his wife, spitfire legal secretary Carrie Heffernan (Leah Remini), as they explore the everyday challenges of love, life, family and marriage.

Doug and Carrie deal with day-to-day domestic realities that reflect our times and enable us to laugh at ourselves. Their love for each other ultimately carries them through each dilemma they face, whether it's Doug's fixation with food or Carrie's obsession with expensive clothing.

Doug and Carrie also have to deal with the third, high-maintenance member of the Heffernan household. Carrie's twice-widowed father, Arthur Spooner (Jerry Stiller), lives in their basement. His constant presence and often-bizarre behavior add to their daily adventures. Doug often finds refuge in the little alone time he has with Carrie, best friend and co-worker, Deacon (Victor Williams), buddy Spence (Patton Oswalt) and his cousin Danny (Gary Valentine).

In a manner that evokes "The Honeymooners," THE KING OF QUEENS finds inspiration in life's everyday situations. Throughout, the series showcases James' incredible physical comedy, Remini's hard-edged wit and Stiller's unique comic presence.
