The show only goes astray when it goes for a gimmick. In one episode, Doug dreams of himself as Ralph Kramden in The Honeymooners; while it's understandable for James to tip his hat to one of his idols, this belabored concept sucked all the humor out of the show. But when The King of Queens sticks to small, mundane troubles, the results are unfailingly delightful. For example, Doug becomes self-conscious about his weight when he discovers that Carrie buys his clothes at the Big & Tall Shop; Carrie is excited to go to lunch with some of the women lawyers at her firm, then humiliated when it turns out they didn't know she's a secretary; or Carrie admits she finds Doug's best friend Deacon (Victor Williams) hot. These events launch some wonderful farce, all the funnier because anyone can identify with the characters' insecurity and jealousy. This firm psychological grounding lets the series keep its footing as it dips into some deeper emotions, like the break-up of Deacon's marriage or an unexpected pregnancy. Because James and Remini keep their characters truthful in their most ridiculous moments, they keep us engaged and even moved as they enter what could be maudlin territory--plus, the writers never lose the opportunity for a sharp but telling joke along the way. The King of Queens makes sitcoms look easy, but the show's skillful balance of an ordinary world and fine-tuned humor is anything but. --Bret Fetzer

Customer Reviews of The King of Queens - The Complete Third Season
Correction In regards to an earlier review, the King of Queens was not based on any british comedy, but instead on an earlier American show called the Honeymooners. That's straight out of the director's mouth. So sorry my European friend, Americans do generate all the T.V. shows...well the one's worth watching anyway. <

>Altogether, this is definitely one of the funniest shows on T.V. to date. Very underated, but like Everybody Loves Raymond, will prove to be a DVD treasure worth collecting long after the show has gone off the air. Worth the $34 bucks I spent on it.
Not acting, riffing
This is a funny show if you dont want tos ee acting, just comdeiens riffing one ach other. Most of the jokes are about the wife who "wants to have a bay-bee" and the husband who cant "preform." This is very BRITISH kind of humor, Peo_PLE!! I think this might be a show from Britaint hat they made into an American one. My friend Brett, who is a genious, says that a lot of our sitcoms have British origins. Did yo know that the show threes company from the seventes was originally called Robin's Egg? no, didnt think so. Most people think that americans create allt he tv shows. Also on this show is the dad from Seinfeld who is Histerical!!!! So get this and watch the riffing and the british style comedy!
Well worth the Money
I just received my order a few days ago and haven't quite watched all the episodes, but the ones I have so far have been hilarious. I have the first two seasons on King of Queens and Kevin James and co. seem to be really getting in the swing of things in their third season.
