My man Kevin James is at it again! They don't want me to make another King of Queens type of show, so I made another King of Queens type of show. (DJ Khaled voice) I felt deprived and embarrassed waiting on something that could capture my attention in the way that my favorite show of all time could. In fairness, not everyone is as smart as Kevin James, but I digress.
The best actor and also the funniest man on the planet has struck again, baby! The new show is titled, Kevin Can Wait and it airs on CBS. I was hoping and praying it would be similar to King of Queens and I knew within the first minute I got what I was looking for. The first scene was cast in a smallish kitchen in their very normal to modest home, Kevin is the every man, after all. The whole setup reminded me of the original home from King of Queens and that is when I started to cry, I realized I was going to be able to fall in love all over again. The only negatives I have is that his wife is not a complete bitch like Kerry was, and there is a noticeable loss without Jerry Stiller, aka Arthur. It is so close to King of Queens that he even has replacements for Richie (the idiot Italian friend) and Deacon (the black friend and IPS coworker) as there is one black friend and one Italian idiot in the new show. Kudos to a smart man like Kevin, staying in his own lane and demographic and producing this show. There hasn't been a show like King of Queens since it left the air and enough time has passed to want, NAY, NEED more of the same comedy in the world. Early on you get classic Kevin, making fun of his weight and how much he eats, that really made me feel at home and so happy inside. I wanted to reach right into the TV and give him a big ole bear hug in our matching sweatpants and t shirt, again he is a classic every man and his wardrobe has not changed either (I.E. Mets shirts and shorts/sweatpants). He also is now a retired cop, gotta say, I miss that ass in those crisp army green IPS shorts, but some change can be a good thing.
Bottom line here, If you don't like the show I probably don't like you or want to speak to you. You either roll with Kevin James and his comedic brilliance, or you just don't know funny. Period.
