Editorial Review:
Never really say goodbye with the ninth and final season of The King of Queens. Doug (Emmy®-nominated Kevin James) and Carrie Heffernan (Leah Remini) are more hilarious than ever in wrapping up one of TV’s funniest sitcoms of all time. Doug decides to spend the Heffernans’ tax refund on an ice-cream truck while Arthur hires himself out to ride with solo drivers. Carrie becomes fed up with Doug’s new vegetarian lifestyle antics and when Doug’s 20th high school reunion turns out to be a dud, his high school best friend comes up with a retaliation scheme against their former principal. Joining in the fun are great guest stars, including Lainie Kazan, Anne Meara and Lou Ferrigno. It’s the ultimate farewell!
Description of King of Queens - The Complete Ninth Season:
The final season of The King of Queens sends this under-appreciated sitcom out with a bang. The season begins with several strong stand-alone episodes, including ones in which Doug (Kevin James) uses a tax refund to buy an ice cream truck; Carrie (Leah Remini) suspects that their best friends have managed to buy a vacation home by sponging off of her and Doug; Doug, after rescuing a chicken from being killed, becomes a vegetarian; Arthur (Jerry Stiller), eternally resplendent in argyle sweaters, asks Doug and Carrie for the money to get braces; and Adam Sandler (Punch Drunk Love) plays a high school friend of Doug's with a lot of repressed anger. But the season crescendos in a three-episode story that begins with Arthur preparing to get married again while Doug and Carrie's marriage crumbles when Carrie wants to move to an apartment in Manhattan. From there, the Heffernans' worst impulses run comically amok, demonstrating this show's long-standing strengths: The cheerful exploitation of all the character's bad behavior, be it Doug's selfishness, Carrie's envy, or Arthur's raging egomania; snowballing storylines that routinely end in entertaining disaster and humiliation; and the skillfully-honed interplay of the three leads. The supporting cast--including Doug's best friend Deacon (Victor Williams), the emotionally enmeshed roommates Spence (Patton Oswalt) and Danny (Gary Valentine), and needy dog-walker Holly (Nicole Sullivan)--all have their moments, but James, Remini, and Stiller are the show's engine, and it runs like a Maserati. The Complete 9th Season lacks any extras, which is disappointing considering that it's also a short season of only 12 episodes; but the satisfying comic crunch of each episode makes this box set still a must-have for any fan of the show. --Bret Fetzer

King of Queens Season 9
2009-08-05 - If you love The King Of Queens this is a must to complete the series. Just enjoy the comedy anytime you need a good laugh. And who doesn't need a good laugh?
The end of an era. 
2009-06-10 - I've been a big KofQ fan ever since the series started and thought that this was a pretty good end to it. In and of itself, it was a good season, but compared to the others, I didn't think it was quite as good. Some of the storylines were a little forced and it seemed like they were sort of forcing us along to the end, but even so, it was still enjoyable. I'm just sorry that the series had to end.
This rocks!
2008-12-22 - My husband and I have the entire collection of The King of Queens. We have literally watched them each at least a dozen times. Every time we watch an episode it is funnier. Of course, we have much of it memorized and use quotes on a daily basis for our own entertainment! This is our absoloute favorite series and we would recommend it to anyone who enjoys a good laugh.
So funny!
2008-09-18 - This whole series is so funny. If you are a fan, you will love having these to watch any time you want.
