The King Of Queens (Season 3) DVD Review

Posted by Nick Niesen on October 27th, 2010

An Everybody Loves Raymond spin-off, The King of Queens revolves around the life and times of Doug Heffernan, a blue-collar, sports fanatic package delivery man who lives in Queens, New York. In his mid-thirties, and married to a beautiful woman named Carrie (Leah Remini), Doug spends the majority of his non-working hours watching his state-of-the-art 70-inch television with two friends who share his devotion to sports, Spence (Patton Oswalt) and Deacon (Victor Williams). But Doug's male paradise suffers a debilitating blow when Carrie's father Arthur (Jerry Stiller) moves into the house. Doug's fantasy TV room is turned into a bedroom, and after numerous failed relocation attempts, the TV finds its way into the garage? Now Doug and Carrie are forced to share their palace with an eccentric father/father-in-law with a knack for ruining the couple's day-to-day routine?

The King of Queens (Season 3) DVD features a number of hilarious episodes including the season premiere "Do Rico" in which Doug begins imitating the accent of the new guy at work, Rico, because it turns Carrie on in the bedroom. But when Doug begins to grow jealous thinking Carrie wants Rico, Carrie turns the tables on him by imitating the Italian accent of Rico's girlfriend Francesca. Meanwhile, Arthur is on a personal quest to find someone to inscribe his wisdom in a tome for the ages? Other notable episodes from Season 3 include "Fatty McButterpants" in which Doug becomes self-conscious of his weight when he learns that Carrie has been buying his clothes from the "Big and Tall" shop, and "Hi Def-Jam" in which Doug and friends conspire to watch the Super Bowl on the high-definition TV at Carrie's boss's house?
