The King of Queens was a very successful sitcom for CBS 15 years ago. But times have changed and so have audiences. Will Kevin James’ new sitcom, Kevin Can Wait, also be a hit in the ratings for the network? Will it be cancelled or renewed for a second season? Stay tuned.
Kevin Can Wait revolves around Kevin Gable (Kevin James), a newly retired police officer. After 30 years on the force, he’s looking forward to relaxing and spending quality time with his wife (Erinn Hayes) and their young kids (Mary-Charles Jones and James DiGiacomo). That plan goes awry when his elder daughter (Taylor Spreitler) and her fiance (Ryan Cartwright) move in. As a result, Kevin’s retirement dreams get put on hold. Kevin’s friends are played by Leonard Earl Howze, Gary Valentine, and Lenny Venito.

What do you think? Do you like the Kevin Can Wait TV show? Do you think it should be cancelled or renewed for second season?
Definitely renew it is an awesome show I love kevin can wait hope for many more to come fingers x’ed! I get so excited everytime a new episode airs ♡♡♡♡♡♡♥♥♥♥♥♥love love lovelove
Well, it’s an absolute dog of a series so I won’t be surprised if it gets cancelled. Not funny at all, the supporting cast add absolutely nothing to the show, and the writing is terrible.
Terrible show really needs to be well canceled.
Look at the ratings for these shows. It’s not good. Everybody thought this **** was going to be a hit but the numbers are not reflecting this. I think what they did was they read did some terribly wrong casting today actors in this TV show. I don’t need that but the overall plan is just a nightmare I thought uncle buck recently was terrible . Additional seems even worse please cancel this it’s not worth my time and effort to even read a review about it.
I really wanted to like this show but I hate it!
Am a huge King of Queens fan. Own all the seasons. Love Kevin, Leah, their chemistry and banter. Kevin and Erin have zero chemistry and her comedic timing needs improving. She’s not believable, authentic nor funny. I was looking fwd to Kevin being back but am sorely disappointed as clearly are many others. The declining viewership week to week says it all. Show’s redeeming quality: Kevin’s brother and buddies. Please cancel this show so we don’t have to think of this huge fail when we think of Kevin.
In King of Queens Kevin played a moron jerk who loved his wife,was frustrated with his father in law and dealt with his issues of inadequacy by acting superior but at the end of the day he had a heart of gold. In Kevin can wait he acts like a jerk with little remorse or empathy. The premises since the first episode have been awful His supporting cast is mostly awful except for his somewhat edgy and somewhat funny youngest 2 children. They are somewhat disturbing and interesting as a result. There is absolutely no chemistry with the wife and… Read more »
I love the show pls continue, kevin james and all the cast are amazing 🙂 i think its better then king of queen and i love aswell
I understand but I think King of Queen is better than this series. Its horrible. His wife is not a good actor at all.
To all of you viewers and Facebook followers stop being salty about this show it is trying its best and i know one of you cant stop talking trash about the show but if i was to throw shade at one of your shows im wrong so to everyone who hates on this show keep doing it cause ratings will do well but if you agree me on this that is fine if not stop watching the show all together it is not like somebody is putting a gun to your head.
Frankly speaking those like myself don’t like the show because it’s just as bad as the uncle Buck show. Which didn’t last long in either.
Hey, respect people’s opinion. Don’t tell them what to do. That’s what we are here for.. Telling our opinions. Keep it to yourself and don’t shout at people’s opinion.
Welcome to the Internet; we’ve been here for years! This is a place where people can voice their opinions freely, particularly about TV shows, music, and celebrities.
I dont like the show its not funny the wife and Kevin have no chemistry the kids and boyfriend are not funny at al., Kevin and his brother are funny, they should just make them two a show together all the other cast members are going to help this show get canceled off my list real fast!
This show IS HILARIOUS!! I love Kevin and it’s good to see him as a family man again. Please don’t cancel this show.
The show s@@ks. It is just a rehash of the other terrible series Kevin was in ” Fat King if Queens”. How many shows can this overrated fat man do?
Stop Hating on this Show it is doing the best it can so it went down in the ratings they can still get it up and if you dont like it dont watch it nobody is forcing you
Do you have any clue how free speech and opinions work?
Kevin Can Wait totally blows and should have been cancelled. You can see the ratings decline in the chart above. I was a big fan of King of Queens mostly because of Leah Remini and Jerry Stiller. Having his brother on the show and having Ray Ramano guest star were bad moves as they were on King of Queens as well. The show isn’t that funny.
If I wanted to see this show I would just watch a rerun of The King of Queens. Cannot believe anyone was stupid enough to pay him to remake a show they could just rerun.
I wouldn’t even have it run the entire first season. Just because you put it on after the hottest show, Big Bang Theory, doesn’t make it good.
I dislike Kevin James so I came here hoping to see the ratings were bad. Based on the trailer alone, this show seems to be very similar to Dougie and the B*tch….err I mean King of Queens. Kevin James is a rude person who is only famous because Adam Sandler wanted a fat guy to replace Chris Farley with.
