The funniest show on TV

I really love that sitcom.

In Germany everybody loves this show, I guess. I wonder why this show haven't won any awards yet. Kevin James is one of the funniest actors and entertainers i've ever seen(especially as Doug), and you must love Jerry Stiller's character Arthur.

King of Queens is the only sitcom i can always watch, I saw every episode about a hundred times, and still I always laugh. I asked a friend of mine in the states if he likes the show and what the Americans think about it, he just say:"Yeah its funny, but not that good, we are not big fans of the show here." Of course he only speaks for himself and his friends. In King of Queens you see daily problems in life and you can laugh even more, because you know this things and can identify yourself with it.

One months ago you could watch 6 episode of King of Queens on one day, and four of them were in a row, this shows the foreign success, I guess. I hope that the show will get bigger in the states, so i can watch new and more episode. Respect to the stab of this sitcom. And to everybody who haven't seen the show yet, watch it, and if you don't like it the first time, watch it more often and you will love it, believe me. In my case it was exactly like this, when I first watched it, I didn't think that is so great, but after a while............
