Marko I've watched couple of episodes. Only the Pilot being kind of a tolerable. After that, it seems like someone said: well, make the wife much more annoying and vicious. Though, even in the pilot she was basically playing mother, rather than a wife.OK, do we get something out of this show?1. Turn your brain off an relax? No, it's stressful, you're basically watching two people fight and pick at each other all the time. Their lack of communication and ignorance is astounding.2. An positive outlook, something of an essence, a form wisdom, social commentary? No, not really. Their approach to problems is catastrophic. Anyone trying to even remotely imitate it is doomed, sure to be alone and unhappy forever. I'll come back to this.For now, here's an example: husband is clearly insecure. In one episode, he's afraid wife might have an affair. Rightfully so. She's brought home, by a rich boos, in a Jaguar. Late at night. He try to talk to her about his insecurities. Her reaction? She laughs at him, humiliate him, and does not take him serious at all! When his insecurities grows more, he makes a fool out of himself, and the of course apologizes! The end.Let me address something deeper now. This is not the first sitcom of this kind. There are many. Almost all are like that, to be honest. How come? Let me return to the second point. This is purely destructive show, disguised as a "comedy". Like a poison, in a candy wrapper. Pulls people in and teaches them a terrible model of a relationship. Watch this, watch it a lot, and it will teach your all the wrong values. I'm sorry, what we consume, has an influence on us. Like food, even more so, things we watch.If you're a woman, this will teach you, to be a vicious human being, to threat your husband in the best case as a kid, in the worst as your enemy, unworthy of any consideration or respect. If you're a man, this will teach you, to be a pathetic looser, who have to crawl and apologize for your own existence. You shouldn't. You're worthy of respect and dignity.So, this, this thing corrupts minds. Destroy families, marries and lives. It's truly horrifying thing, because it's packed in such a family friendly, innocent, wrapper. It's so precise in its underlying message though, that it's on a level with a worst kind of propaganda.I'm part of the generation who grew up with this dirt. It's scary. It's so frightening what TV did to us, our society. No wonder things are completely upside down in 2017. We need to do better.
Clifton This show is filled with genuine laugh out loud moments and even the occasional knee slap. My wife says her favorite part of the show is me laughing at it, though I don't know if that's an endorsement, haha. Some jokes do fall flat and can be corny at times, but all in all, it is a great show. It's also kind of a unique sitcom, in that it's about a couple married with no children and both have careers. It kind of stands out to me, since many sitcoms tend to follow more traditional, if not dysfunctional families. It also uses laugh tracks, which I normally don't like much, maybe barring Seinfeld (which also was nontraditional and progressive), but the jokes are timed well and work great. My one criticism is the opening them music. It is god awful and just makes it sound like the most cliché sitcom ever, when it's really pretty hilarious and unique.
Mason Govender Most Awesome show ever. Kevin James is Legend!!! People either never watch it properly or are just never take it serious(That's why its not Rated as it show be -10!). I watched it as a marathon It ROCKS. I'll admit the first season is worth 8/10 but after that 10/10 every time. Starting of season 2, the show added a new theme song called "Baby All My Life I Will Be Driving Home to You" Its the perfect addition makes you love the show all that more. You should own a blue Ray copy of this and get every member of your family to get a copy too. Leah Remini is all the eye candy you need. Disagree with me and Kevin & I will come kick your butt. :)
Jessica L. Jacobs (Jess_Jacobs) Let me start off by saying that I have not watched one bit of this show until I purchased all nine seasons (the complete series) on DVD just after Christmas of 2015. I finished watching the whole series on 3/5/2015. As you can see, I am soooo behind the times with watching this show that honestly made me laugh out loud so many times. If I am being honest, I never cared for Kevin James as an actor but I had only seen him in that Mall Cop movie. But when I began watching him in KOQ, I fell in love with his acting and comedic abilities. As for Leah Remini, she reminds me of myself. Like, a lot, lol. I think both Kevin James and Leah Remini were perfectly cast for the roles they played and their mutual connection on the show seemed believable. Then bring in Jerry Stiller who play's Leah's father on there and you have a comedic trifecta!I have no idea why it took me so darned long to watch this awesome show but I am glad I did. I just wish the season finale would have been done better. It felt rushed to me. Overall, I gave this show a 9/10 stars.
