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

[HuntingtonM15]

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

[Dogma66603]

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

[AKA]

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.

He manages to recruit only Arthur and even has to spot him the initial investment, which only makes him more of a sucker.

Meanwhile, Carrie has to explain to a partner named “Doug in her law firm why she told him she loved him over the phone.

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.

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.

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.
