andPOP - Pop Culture With Substance

THE KING OF QUEENS revolves around Doug and Carrie Heffernan, a loving blue-collar couple from Queens, N.Y., who share their humble home with her eccentric father, Arthur. After a long day’s work as a parcel deliveryman, Doug retreats to his home for some peace and quiet, which is often interrupted by Carrie’s father, for whom they have hired a dog-walker, Holly, to take him on walks. Doug’s only refuges are the little time he spends alone with Carrie and the company of his buddy Spence, and his brother, Danny, whom he turns to for advice that just might make his life better, if he only bothered to follow it.

CBS has announced that the long-running sitcom, “The King of Queens,” will end in May after its current season.

The show stars Kevin James as Doug, a UPS driver, alongside Leah Remini as his wife, Carrie, and Jerry Stiller as Carrie’s father.

Though the show was almost cancelled earlier this year, CBS brought it back for a 13-episode season that debuted on December 6. The first half of its two-episode premiere attracted 9.4 million viewers, according to E! Online.

With its ninth and final season, “King of Queens” is the longest-running sitcom on TV. It took over the title after “Will & Grace” and “That ’70s Show” both signed off earlier this year.
