Sad to see The King of Queens go

I am sad to find out that this is the last season of The King of Queens. It's been great and I have always loved it.

Producer and star Kevin James is a truly hilarious comic; and the stellar cast including Leah Remini and Jerry Stiller is equally side splitting. I especially like the nerdy blue collar character potraited by Patton Oswalt - can't ask for a better actor for that role.



One complain is that the show has slipped into the same husband/wife "cheating" on each other routine in recent years (I guess that happens after 200 episodes!); and facing a formidable Monday line up such as The Prison Break, Heroes and 24, CBS has no choice but to move it back to Wednesday, or to let it go. Interesting enough, it almost seems like there wasn't many new episodes during the production of Hitch (2005). The same has happened during Chuck and Larry (2007). I wonder if that speaks of Kevin James inability to work in multiple projects at the same time, or his uncompromising work ethics for quality. I suspect it's the latter.
