SCOTT D. PIERCE: FAREWELL TO THE 'KING'
To say that `The King of Queens` has never gotten much respect would be an understatement. It's never been a critical favorite. In the eight seasons that preceded this one, it has been nominated for a grand total of one Emmy Award.

The funniest part of the King of Queens is the plain down to earth acting. There is no special effects or great backgrounds, but just plain old everyday 'us' involved. I think one has to be recently married to really get the full jist of this comedy. One aspect of it is that the couple really do act out what most young to middle aged couples in the US think and maybe couples elsewhere too.
