Kevin puede esperar

Enough of L Remini! The first season was fantastic, then they kill the off the best actor and bring her in!!!??? What were they thinking? Give the air time to something and somebody worth watching ..... not Remini.....Just Disgusting

. . .for a better show.

This show is an example of al la carte television. There is nothing original and it simply is put together from pieces of other shows with King of Queens being the foundation.

They took King of Queens and made almost the same pilot from All in the Family with touch of Coach. The boyfriend character is almost a carbon copy as Stuart from Coach.

The plot itself of the pilot played out like your typical laugh- track comedy, and it ended like an episode of Home Improvement.

There were some funny lines, only those delivered by Kevin James. The oldest girl seemed to be the only one to hold her own with Kevin's humor. The woman that plays his wife is awful. Her acting reminds me of Isabel Sanford from The Jeffersons. She delivers lines like a high school play.

You had a chance to do something completely different than king of queens. Kevin and his wife a great chemistry on the show. It would have been a success but when you put in Leah Remini you ruined the show. It was like watching king of queens all over again. You had success with king of queens but you already did that, this was your chance to move forward and do something different but you ruined it.

Bad decision to fire Erinn Hayes. She was one of the few good things about the show and her character was a way better fit than Leah Remini's. The show's story relied heavily on Kevin and Erinn's interaction. Now that they've removed her, it's just painful to watch. The other characters don't have what it takes to carry the show, and inserting Remini just doesn't make sense at all. What were the producers thinking? Still watching but might stop soon if there's no improvement.

I can't remember having written a review before, but I just had to vent about how they've made a mess out of a pretty decent show.

Kevin James retires from the Nassau County, Long Island Police force after twenty years (started at 21 this makes him 41). With his partial pension he and Wife Donna, played by Erinn Hayes, work through season one deciding how they'll make up some income by renting out their garage as an apartment (Common on Long Island). The chemistry was being built by wife Donna redirecting Kevin's mistakes along the way. The family was deadpan except for "Chale" the eldest daughters nerdy boyfriend in Country via a Visa and the retired friends were something that could of and should of been built upon. Chale fast became a season one bright spot as the chemistry between him and Kevin was wrought with tension and humor. THIS was something the audience expected would grow in Season Two, However show runner Rob decided the ratings were not up to par. The Ratings took a nose dive in season two as Donna was mysteriously killed off without explanation in the season two opener. Leah Remini was brought in to recreate the King Of Queens TV show, much to the viewers despair. The show needed to build on season one's characters of friends and family but has instead focused on Remini and James opening a P.I. agency. In short, the fun was taken out of the show, something even the canned laughter can't save as the ratings are showing. They left no room to bring back Kevin's wife Donna (Erinn Hayes) and the show is trapped in a corner. The friends and family are now all but forgotten as they were dropped from focus as a point of tension and laughter. Kevin James is likable and Leah Remini's old shtick doesn't work here. I don't see an out for this show to rebound and reconnect with the audience which is a shame. I liked season one but season two might just be it's downfall. It was a family show you could watch with your children (who know and love Kevin James) but that has been removed from the show in favor of the downtrodden banter James and Remini had in King Of Queens. If you want that, watch those re-runs, their still on.
