From tvshowsondvd.com:

Columbia/Tristar Home Entertainment today has officially announced The King Of Queens - Season 2 DVD box set release. 25 episodes at a running time of 622 minutes will be spread across 3 discs. In addition, it will have extras that are known to include bonus trailers and an exclusive featurette called "A Day in the Life of a TV Star", focusing on Kevin James (as Doug Heffernan).

April 20th is the release date, and $39.95 is the suggest retail price. Columbia plans to support this release with an online and in-print marketing campaign to promote the DVD set, so you'll be hearing more about it.

Thanks for the info!!

Season 2 was kind of boring, but I'll still pick this up.

I LOVE season 2. I'm very excited for its release.

The box is so generic, its almost hard to look at.

Columbia Tri-Star really needs to stop coming out with three-disc sets for entire seasons of TV series. I noticed on the King Of Queens Season One set, which contains eleven(!) episodes on the first two discs, there's a lot of video compression and digital artifacts. I notice the same thing on The Critic DVD set.

I don't think any of us would have a problem with a four-disc set to resolve these problems.

I can't wait for this I just got hooked onto the show and then the first season came out on DVD so I'm glad the second season is coming out since I havent seen much of it.

The Laughs Return with Top-Rated CBS Working-Class Sitcom
Starring Kevin James, Leah Remini and Jerry Stiller


THE KING OF QUEENS:2nd SEASON


Special Three-Disc Set Featuring 25 Hilarious Episodes
Premieres April 20 on DVD


Culver City, CA -– The King is back! Funnier. Feistier. And more lovable than ever with the debut of THE KING OF QUEENS: 2nd SEASON three-disc DVD set, featuring all 25 hilarious episodes from the hit CBS sitcom’s sophomore season, available April 20 from Columbia TriStar Home Entertainment. Currently in its sixth top-rated season on CBS with an average of 13 million viewers and airing in syndication to over 200 stations nationwide, THE KING OF QUEENS has never been funnier or more popular. Priced to own at $39.95 SLP, THE KING OF QUEENS: 2nd Season DVD release delivers king-sized comedy with a laugh-out-loud blooper reel featuring outtakes from the show plus an audio commentary from star Kevin James.

A down-to-earth domestic comedy set in the working-class suburb of Queens, New York, Doug Heffernan (stand-up comic Kevin James) returns as the amiable parcel delivery guy with the whole package in THE KING OF QUEENS. Along with his sassy wife Carrie (Leah Remini) and his tenacious father-in-law Arthur (Jerry Stiller), Doug turns blue-collar humor into red-hot laughs. When he's not punching the clock, he's working overtime to be around everything he loves the most - his wife, his buddies and his big screen TV. No matter where trouble finds him, Doug faces it with a smile in his heart, and a pastrami sub on his plate. In the hit comedy's second season, one thing is certain ... THE KING OF QUEENS still rules the airwaves!

Reminiscent of “The Honeymooners,” THE KING OF QUEENS hit its stride in the second season, focusing on humor found in everyday life and those small daily problems which provide some of the funniest moments. THE KING OF QUEENS: 2nd SEASON features several return guest appearances including Donny Osmond and Bryan Cranston (“Malcolm in the Middle”), plus Ray Romano and Patricia Heaton from “Everybody Loves Raymond” also make a special neighborly visit.

I havn't found any site that lists what episodes are on the dvd so I went to the KoQ website and this is what they show for episodes for 99-2000. I can only assume these will be on the DVD but some I think some where on the S1 dvd.

I don't know if this will be the order either.

Whine Country
Carrie and Doug can’t decide where to go on their vacation. Doug wants to travel in a motor home and Carrie wants to spend the week in Paris. To be fair, they flip a coin and when Carrie ends up losing, she has a plan to get back at Doug for making her miss Paris she asks her father, Arthur, to join them on their trek across the country.

Flower Power
Carrie is disappointed that Doug doesn’t do anything romantic anymore and so he sends her flowers, candy, a teddy bear and balloons at work. Doug thinks it is al romantic but Carrie is still disappointed that the gesture came after she mentioned it.

Meanwhile, Arthur is called for jury duty and the criminal justice system is in for a treat.

Restaurant Row
Carrie and Doug go out to a new neighborhood restaurant and Carrie has a run in with the staff. Incensed at how she has been treated, she bans Doug from ever eating there again.

Meanwhile, Arthur has his own beef going on with public television.

Soft Touch
Doug gets suckered into buying a water filtration device from his annoying neighbor, Tim, and also signs up to be a licensed seller of the filters. Carrie is appalled that Doug would buy into such a pyramid scheme but Doug sticks by his decision and now must sign up ten more people to sell the filter in order to recoup his investment. He manages to recruit only Arthur and even has to spot him the initial investment, which only makes him more of a sucker.

Big Dougie
When Doug learns that Deacon is a Big Brother to an underprivileged boy, he feels totally inadequate and uncharitable. He then decides that he too will become a Big Brother but is dissatisfied with the boy he is assigned. The kid doesn’t want to do anything that Doug suggests, but he jumps at the chance to run in a 10K to fight heart disease. Doug agrees to run too, even though the exercise could kill him. Meanwhile, Carrie has to explain to a partner named “Doug in her law firm why she told him she loved him over the phone.

Surprise Artie
On the way back from making a delivery in Philly, Doug and Deacon make a detour to Atlantic City for some gambling. Doug, who is supposed to see a Broadway musical with Carrie, lies and tells her he has an unexpected late night delivery to make and he makes Deacon lie to Kelly so that Carrie won’t find out the truth. Back home, Carrie reluctantly takes Arthur to the play and of course, the results are disastrous. And, in Atlantic City, Doug loses all his money, has a fight with Deacon and in the end, is caught in his lie.

Wild Card
Arthur’s dropping subtle hints that his birthday is approaching. Wanting to do something special for his 75th Carrie plans a surprise party with Doug’s reluctant assistance. In order to set up for the soiree Doug lures Arthur out of the house for lunch at his favorite buffet. Soon it’s apparent that Arthur has his own etiquette rules when it comes to dining out, and when Doug breaks them Arthur splits and the surprise is suddenly off. Carrie leaves the elderly guests under Doug’s supervision while she attempts to get her dad back home for the party. Little does she know that Arthur’s past will come back to haunt him--causing the guests to split before the birthday boy even arrives!

The Shmenkmans
Doug and Carrie have a new set of friends, Gary and Abby Shropshire, who, because they are childless, have been dubbed their new “Saturday night friends. But, when Deacon and Kelly suddenly are able to get a baby sitter for Saturday night, the Heffernans are torn between their new friends and their best friends. To compromise, Doug and Carrie have all four over for Sunday brunch and are mortified when the “new and the “old bond.

Meet Byproduct

But, over the course of a painful evening, Richie and Lynn pair off, leaving Doug and Carrie alone. The two find each other despicable, but fate is too strong and the two wind up together anyway.

Fair Game
Doug and Carrie attend “game night at Deacon and Kelly’s and it looks like they are going to walk home losers until Carrie begins to cheat. Doug is flabbergasted and can’t believe what he’s witnessed. Back at home he confronts Carrie and eventually she confesses. To make up for her cheating, the Heffernan’s host the next game night. But, incredible to Doug, Carrie cheats again. He can’t understand it and, frankly, neither can she until Arthur sheds a little light on the subject.

Frozen Pop
A cold spell has hit New York and the basement where Arthur sleeps is an ice box. So, Carrie sets him up in her upstairs office until the cold snap is over however, the freezing temperatures last longer than they thought and Doug and Carrie are about to lose their minds with Arthur just across the hall. When the weather finally does break, they assume that Arthur will return to his old room in the basement. But, it seems that he has become quite comfortable in his new surroundings and has no intention of leaving.

Block Buster
Doug has a high school football reunion with his buddies, one of which is now confined to a wheelchair. During the party, Doug is surprised to hear the team attribute the winning championship block to Tom Busterman, the former player who now can’t walk, when Doug has been so sure all these years that it was he who helped to win the game with the famous block. Tom can’t remember blocking the other team, but accepts the accolades anyway. But Doug is furious and digs out an old video of the game to prove to the others that he actually brought them to victory. On the tape, however, it clearly shows number 57, Busterman’s number, making the block. Doug is speechless until Spence tells him that he absentmindedly gave Doug the wrong Jersey that day making it appear as if Busterman made the block. But, Spence is so angry at all the past practical jokes that the team played on him, that when Doug asks him to set the record straight, all Spence can do is rant and rage on his former team mates.

Party Favor
Doug’s cousin Danny is getting married and Carrie convinces Doug that despite the history between the two, Doug should be his best man and throw a bachelor party. He reluctantly agrees, and sets about planning the event. But, when the night arrives the party is a bust less than half the guests show up, the stripper is lame, literally, and the bill is astronomical.

Sparing Carrie
The bowling team, which features Doug, Richie, Spence, Deacon and Carrie, is in jeopardy of losing their sponsorship from Cooper’s if they don’t win their next game. The guys make it clear to Doug that Carrie is the weak link and so it is up to him to “fire her from the team so that they can keep their sponsorship. Carrie tells Doug she’s fine with the decision but Doug is so guilt-ridden that at the next tournament he can’t bowl worth a dime making him the weak link now.

Roamin' Holiday
Carrie invites her friend Susie and her very, very boring husband, Mike, for Thanksgiving weekend; and Doug is in pain over the thought of having to spend four days with the guy. When Spence indicates that it may be time for him to move out of his mother’s house, Doug has a plan: he convinces Spence to move out and stay with him for a few days while he looks for a new place to live. But, Doug keeps delaying the apartment search hoping to delay it enough so that Spence has to stay through Thanksgiving making it impossible for Susie and Mike to come stay.

I, Candy
When Doug gets “checked out by a waitress at Cooper’s he suddenly feels very dapper. He begins to change his image a bit and Carrie finds the whole thing amusing. That is, until she checks out the waitress herself and sees that she is quite a dish

Dire Strayts
Doug invites Ray Barone and his wife, Debra, over for a BBQ but the tension is thick since right before the guests arrive Doug says something insensitive to Carrie. Carrie and Debra end up bonding over how careless and insensitive their husbands can be; and, in Ray and Doug’s attempt to ditch the women and watch the ball game, Doug gets stuck halfway between the attic and the upstairs bedroom as he attempts to correct the fuzzy cable system.

Get Away
oug, Carrie, Deacon and Kelly all head upstate to a cute B&B for a relaxing weekend. But, Doug and Carrie become anything but relaxed after they realize that the R&B song coming from Deacon and Kelly’s room means the couple is having sex. It wouldn’t be so bad, but when the song begins to play all the time, Doug and Carrie realize how inadequate their sex life is in comparison.

Doug Out
When Arthur overhears Doug and Carrie talking about him as a “demented circus monkey, he is visible hurt. To make up for it, Doug invites him to a Mets game. While there, Doug tries to catch a foul ball and winds up on the field, dodging security in order to hold onto his catch.

Tube Stakes
Carrie leaves the garage door open one night and Doug’s precious big screen TV gets stolen. Feeling horrible, Carrie finally goes out and buys him another. Then, the next day Doug is in Carrie’s upstairs office and accidentally breaks her computer. Nervous about how Carrie will react, after he gave her such grief about the TV, Doug persuades Arthur to take the blame.

Parent Trapped
Deacon and Kelly ask Doug and Carrie to be Godparents to their newborn son, Major. Doug thinks it’s a great idea but Carrie isn’t so sure. So, they decline. But, on the day of the christening when Doug and Carrie meet Deacon and Kelly’s new choice, they suddenly change their minds and want to raise little Major, God forbid, should something happen to their friends

Assaulted Nuts * I think this was on S1 DVD*
Carrie, looking to build a home office, asks Doug to meet her at the bank to secure a loan. Doug, claiming he’s too busy at work, agrees to meet Carrie only during his lunch hour. Meanwhile, Doug, goofing off at work, accidentally shoots a staple into his groin. Deacon takes Doug to the hospital but Doug leaves the emergency room to meet Carrie before he can be seen by a doctor. Doug, in obvious pain, tells Carrie what happened and apologizes for the way he’s been acting. Carrie wants to take Doug to the hospital right way but he insists on securing the loan first. Once at the hospital Doug, in a scene reminiscent of child birth, Doug finally has the staple removed.

Female Problems
Carrie makes friends with the new neighbor and the two become inseparable. Doug begins to feel jealous of their relationship and so he tries to reconnect with Carrie, which only points out to him how much Carrie needs a close female friend.

Queasy Rider
Against Carrie’s wishes, Doug buys a motorcycle. So, Carrie, in an attempt to make Doug give up his bike, takes up smoking hoping that he will give up his hog so that she will give up the cigarettes. But, when Doug finally sells the bike Carrie feels so guilty about making him give up something that he loved, that she buys it back for him. Much to the disappointment of Doug.

Same here. I can't wait!

I'm so disappointed there is only ONE commentary. Do the folks think the fans don't care about what they have to say!!

I CARE! I CARE!

If anyone knows someone who works on the set please pass only my unhappiness.

Only 15 more days to go! I hope they are this consistent about releasing the other seasons.

ME TOO! I can't wait to get all of them!
I'll be going to get the dvd on the 20th and am also getting my brother one for his birthday. He's been watching the show since it started.

PS Michelle- I checked out your autograph site. It's really cool! I like that you put when you sent it and when you got it.
I see you like Martina McBride as well. I met her before and she signed all my cd covers that I brought with! :)

It's Michael, but thanks! I will have to update it soon. I LOVE Martina. She is the greatest singer EVER.

Sorry about that. I feel dumb lol.
Martina was the first concert I ever saw back in 1995 I think. She played in a high school and I was pretty close.
:)

Yay! Im buying!!!!!!!!!!1:D

Is the second season good?

I havn't watched all the episodes but I did notice that the only commentary is for the Net Prophet episode. Then on disc 3 there is a special snippet that follows Kevin James for day. It shows him going for his appearances on Regis, Carlson Daily, The Early show, and Conan. He then goes to Shea Stadium. It's boring and about 15 minutes long. I'm extremly dissapointed with the lack of quality extra's.

Hopefully there will be more involvement with the rest of the cast for season 3.

I hope so too. The main reason for me to purchase TV show dvd's is for the commentaries and special features. I love learning background info.

If I knew of a email address to write CBS about this I'd let them know how I feel.

As far as the episode themselves. I think season 2 is the best of all the seasons. As far as the # of good episodes.

I got mine yesterday (wed) at about 10:15am at Best Buy for 31.99 and watched it until I had to work. I'm so excited that the Motercycle one is first as it is my all time FAVORITE EPISODE! Leah isn't on any of the extras. All it has is "Day in the life of Kevin James" where a camera follows him around to a few shows and thats about it. :( I still have about 6 or so more shows to watch from it.

I've only seen about 3 of the season 2 episodes before I got the set on tuesday. the shows are really funny, especially the one where they go to the apple-themed hotel.

How many episodes on a disc? If it`s like season 1, There is a couple episodes from different seasons. Just to finish out the 3RD disc.

I finally got disc 1. I guess i`m the only one who rents.

Don`t you think season 2 is the best of all the seasons?

It says it has 25. I also noticed some observations: their sofa is different then the original one, Carrie wears the same necklas in almost everyshow. Its a chain with little round beads every few inches, in the middle of season 2 Carrie wears the same looking hoodies 3 or 4 times in a row only different colors. If you watch the eppy with the commentary on it Kevin makes a comment about how he knows the houses are different and not to send any letters about it. LOL they must get that a lot then. They never use the garage set anymore!
I like when Arthur says "SWEETDIGGITY"

I wish all comedy dvds were made like MASH. Where you could shut the laugh track off.

In the motorcycle episode, doen`t it sound especially loud? It sounds phony somehow.

From Amazon!!! I am excited and CANNOT wait to watch it :)..

I love how they put a lot more detail into how they did the DVD case. All of the pictures are great!

I concur. I liked it too!! I liked the DVD cover, the pictures everything about the 'look'.
