What makes this season so good is that the Heffernans' luck has been so bad.

Just love this show, i probably watched it 100 times or more. All thes low ratings from the "experts" are just from old people without humor I bet, if you rate this show just mid or bad you know nothing about a good and funny show!

55% from Media? What the Hell? What Donkeys rate it so low? King of Queens is the funniest Series i ever saw. Would give it 100/100 if i could. I love it.

Stiller may not be enough to save this pack of wrongheaded cliches, but it will be fun watching him try. [21 Sept 1998, p.1E]

King grows on us, and there are laughs that are not nearly as predictable as the premise. [21 Sept 1998, p.75]

Contrary to the volume of the laugh track, the script produces little more than an occasional chuckle...CBS would like you to believe that James is the next breakout star, similar to Ray Romano a year ago. Anything's possible, but that would seem like a stretch big enough to astound an aerobics instructor. [21 Sept 1998]

Stiller, a late replacement for the originally cast Jack Carter, is too crude, too crazy and too cantankerous to be tolerable in anything but the smallest doses. Doug and Carrie can take him; we can't. [21 Sept 1998, p.32]

This show changed my life. Arthur Spooner isn't just a great comedic character, but belongs in conversations with Tony Soprano and Walter White.

Es gibt in meinen Augen keine bessere Sitcom als The King of Queens. Auch beim 10 mal durchschauen macht es einfach nur Spaß. Gerade die Charaktere und Co machen einfach einen super Job. RIP Arthur (Jerry Stiller)
