I love these two together.There is so much chemistry.

hhhk20 Really? I don't get those bad vibes at all. Loved it too.

[@michillene]

@hhhk20 I only watched a little bit of one of the new shows...Didn't feel it...either.Usually,when they try to duplicate what they had before..it doesn't work,as we can see.

[@hd-xc2lz]

@hhhk20 Agree on all counts. Writing on K of Q was great across the board, every actor shined, every coupling worked. And yeah, this interview was difficult to watch.

[@mb-ql1gb]

Yeah, so much that they f+++ed up the last season of KOQ.

My version of Lucy and Ricky (google it, kids) I've been watching King of Queens regularly for over 20 years. It's the epitome of comfort television. The laughs are still there.

TheAkfamas soooo sad! Loved that man! May “HE REST IN PEACE!” I adored Jerry Stiller as millions did & his wife Anne, too! What a huge loss with each of their passings. Anne Stiller played “Spencer’s mother” & was on “SEX IN THE CITY”, playing Cynthia Nixon’s “mother-in-law’” too. Two great actors & comedians! Our sympathy to Ben Stiller at the loss of two amazing parents( she died five yrs ago)! God Bless!❤️💕❤️💕❤️💕❤️💕

[@mikekillagreen9432]

Yes. Thanks for reminding me!

[@karenstrycharz1499]

The two characters “Carrie” & “Doug” we’re so believable & funny that my husband and I will watch their reruns into perpetuity!!! I don’t care how many times that I watch these episodes ( hundreds of times... lost count ha!) we never stop laughing & it never gets old! This series was truly phenomenal in it’s acting by all the characters & the writers/directors too. This series”King of Queens”, was truly magical, due to the acting of these two phenomenal actors & the interaction between the two of them !!! I need to add that Jerry Stiller( who played the father of Carrie) was in a “class all of his own”, w/ his hysterical & unique acting portrayal as her father! What a comedian! What an actor! Extraordinary acting ability! I could never stop laughing watching him! May JERRY STILLER & HIS WIFE ANNE, “REST IN PEACE!”) These two actors brought such believability to those rules but moreover, love each of their incredible acting abilities! They are such great, down -to -earth people too! They have no airs, are so much fun in interviews, always have time for their fans & never fail to bring a smile to my face when I listen to them in interviews! I wish them so much luck in this new “venture” & series! “ I am sure it will be a huge success! What I would love to see though sometime is a “reboot” of their series “KING OF QUEENS” or even a “special!” How much fun would “THAT” be??? Admittedly, with “JERRY STILLER’S” SAD PASSING A KEY CHARACTER WE LOVE WOULD SADLY BE GONE!” You do have characters, Spencer, Deacon, etc you could “perhaps move in to the house or to the forefront”, of this series. Wishing them luck on this new show. Great to see them together again!❤️

[@tinamarie8061]

He totally zoned out!😂😂😂 i LOVE HER! She has the best personality! Her documentary on Scientology made me a super fan.

I like it when he gets stuck in the closest between the floors and then the fire department had to get him out. Classic episode.

[@vinnywa]

Kevin and Leah are so very natural together. They play off of one another to absolute perfection. I have watched and re-watched the King of Queens so many times and they never get tiresome. Any sit com which lasts nine years is a statement by itself.

[@silversteele6624]

Every once in awhile a show comes along where a connection between 2 people is so strong and genuine, you can feel it when they are not acting as well. I always felt like there was something there between these 2. You can tell by the way they look at one another and by the way he makes her laugh and how she almost blushes from it. Its almost as if they were truly meant to be together but it just never happened. Its almost sad. Im glad they still work together at least. Theyre hilarious together.
