Storyline

KEVIN CAN WAIT stars Kevin James as a retired police officer who is setting out on a fresh career path as he rises to the challenge of being a newly single dad. His kids, Sara, Jack and Kendra, are grateful to him for making sure they're OK but decide it's time for him to get out of the house, so they turn to Vanessa (Leah Remini), his former police partner, for help. Vanessa has left the force to launch her own private security firm, and she makes Kevin an offer he can't refuse - to be her new business partner. Although the job isn't always glamorous and they rarely see eye to eye, Kevin and Vanessa share an undeniable bond from their years working together. Also, Kendra and her fiancé, Chale, face issues of their own, including becoming newlyweds and figuring out how they will support themselves. Once again, life has thrown Kevin some curveballs, so his dreams of an early retirement will just have to wait a little longer, and his family will always come first.

User Reviews

YOU can wait . . .

. . .for a better show.

This show is an example of al la carte television. There is nothing original and it simply is put together from pieces of other shows with King of Queens being the foundation.

They took King of Queens and made almost the same pilot from All in the Family with touch of Coach. The boyfriend character is almost a carbon copy as Stuart from Coach.

The plot itself of the pilot played out like your typical laugh- track comedy, and it ended like an episode of Home Improvement.

There were some funny lines, only those delivered by Kevin James. The oldest girl seemed to be the only one to hold her own with Kevin's humor. The woman that plays his wife is awful. Her acting reminds me of Isabel Sanford from The Jeffersons. She delivers lines like a high school play.
