I have loved KJ since his stand up, Sweat The Small Stuff. The bit about swimming in a lake? Gold. Picking out a birthday card? Classic. Eating an apple? Priceless. KJ is absolutely hilarious and his work — including King of Queens — is always entertaining! The man is an entertainer. 

The problem is the company it keeps. When you are in the CBS line-up, you’re gonna be associated with the CBS line-up. It’s frankly unfair — I mean, I’m OBSESSED with Criminal Minds, so I get it. We need to love what we love without judgment. We just wish those things we loved had better neighbors. 

King of Queens is one of the best — if not the best — sitcom ever to exist (shoutout Yes Dear, too). It is completely underrated and people who don't like it have no taste. Yeah, I said it. I'm not even sure what there is to say negatively about it? I can't think of one single flaw other than the fact it is not on the air anymore. 

I own the complete series of ‘The King of Queens’ on DVD. A decorative boxed set. 

The amount of people who see it and have something negative about it is… alarming. 

The script is relatable. Leah Remini is LOL funny. Kevin James is charming. Jerry Stiller is comedy royalty.
