The King Of Queens was a sitcom TV show that ran for 9 seasons from 1998 to 2007. At the time, it was a very popular show and has become one of the sitcoms that will be remembered forever. Reruns are still shown occasionally on TV and fans can watch the show on the NBC streaming platform, Peacock.
The cast just recently had a reunion this past March to reunite and remember their co- star Jerry Stiller. The show was about a working class couple, Doug and Carrie Heffernan, living in Queens, New York. Eventually, after a failed marriage and a house fire, Carrie's father, Arthur Spooner, moves in with them. The three of them living together causes fights, love, and a whole bunch of comedy.
