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.
The ratings are typically the best indication of a show’s likelihood of staying on the air. The higher the ratings (particularly the 18-49 demo), the better the chances for survival.

Note: These are the Live + Same Day Ratings which include “live” viewing plus delayed DVR viewing, up until 3am local time that same night. Ratings marked with an “*” are the fast affiliate ratings and will be updated with the Live+SD numbers when they are made available.

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?
I and my family will not be watching this show ever again. Where do you networks think that what the people think doesn’t matter? You would not have a network or the money if the people didn’t watch your channels. How can you really think that the people are going to continue to watch a show that in the middle if it all you throw reami or whatever her name is in place of Erinn. Really whom ever you have in charge of your shows really needs a change. So save your self some money and cancel it now.
I can’t believe they’re doing to mess this show up! . She’s not the problem.. The show is very good like it is.. Why do you want to mess it up and bring in someone in a show doing as well as this ones doing/ I dont’ mean any harm but I REALLY can’t believe they’re doing this. I’ve been watching the show regularly since I realized it was on and I think the lady playing his wife is absolutely great in the part. I sure hope they don’t ruin it.. I don’t have anything against Remini but I don’t… Read more »
Just like they did to Last man standing
agree, I watched it because leah was gone, loved the cast , won’t watch it next season with Leah on it. Surprised kevin wanted her, she tries to steal every scene like a small child.
I simply won’t watch it. I thought the cast played off each other well. The plots of the last few were weak!! The cast was strong, sorry but I had enough kevin can wait!!! Good luck
I don’t think he had a choice
The ONLY reason I watched the new show was because Leah was GONE. I LOVE Kevin and loved the show . I never liked Leah on the other show and was so happy she was not on this one.
GRRRR
Holy wow!!! They just announced that Leah Remini is joining the cast permanently, and the actress that currently plays the wife is leaving the show! They do read out comments, folks! I will definitely give Kevin Can Wait a second chance beginning with Episode 1 of Season 2…very happy!
I will give it a look but I think his act is too played out and the foundation of the show will suffer without the mother. Chale is a dumb character and the kids aren’t anything the audience cares about.
No they dont read these comments. Infact they can can careless. Why would they care? since can not take anything seriuos on sites like this.
Yeah, they actually do. This site is one of countless sites that gave the show a poor rating. The producers figured it out and are now reworking the show. They need people to watch. They care if the show is being bashed. I’m sure the show was renewed with the cast changes as part of the deal.
Explain this then seemly. But really they don’t. It’s not network exc time.
Mainly because there too many sites like thus
LOL thats what they want you to believe. But sad fact is they dont read these type of spaces.
I worked on a couple of network shows and they do look to see what pops up online so that they can try to suppress bad reviews. It’s a common practice, and not really far fetched that they would want to see what the general public is saying about their show.
Highly unlikely.
No, not really. Anyway, they sure did revamp this show based on low ratings.
Correct, a lot of sites trashed the show. Reviews were bad. Ratings weren’t great. The producers of the show are not idiots, and do pay attention. Surprise, surprise, show revamped. That said, my guess is that it will still struggle in the ratings.
We all need to join in and show these networks they can’t do crap like this and think people are going just go with it
I’m surprised they read any of our opinions. We were sick about the wife on Kevin being given the boot and then putting on obnoxious Leah R. as a permanent cast member. She and Kevin are BOTH childish scene stealers. If they wanted to revamp and get rid of someone, they should have gotten rid of those two talentless younger kids of his. We sped through the first episode only to see the wedding. Chale is now the only thing good on that show. Bye Kevin, we won’t be watching again.
They should have advertised more that Leah Rimeni would be on his show ratings would have gone up and he should have done a new cut on with her the chemistry just isn’t there with his new co host .wt
They phone it in every week with this lousy show, and it gets renewed with dismal ratings. Please rename the show… Kevin Looks Desperate
The writers must want this show to fail. They have made Kevin Gable a selfish, gluttonous, dishonest baby. Who can enjoy watching a character like that? And his wife is too young and too passive.
Did you know have any idea he left The KOQ because he only thought about himself? He wanted be actor in movies. But sadly he didn’t make it as famous dream he be. He failed. So to you thought, issue here is he not as good as he thinks or networks lead to believe. Take him off the first prime time spot and put it on later in the evening. you’ll succeed that way. Otherwise it’s gonna go farther further down the toilet.
It’s a lousy show. It seems Kevin has teamed with Adam Sandler too long & they both suck,
K of Q can’t save how bad this show is. Move to position other then this time position.
This show is so beautifully funny, please keep it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
continue with the show. it is great!
Renew Kevin Can Wait! Not enough light comedies on tv.
Um. 1.10 dem what even worse less 6.00 viewers. And renewed so fast. Another season? At the important prime time period? What is cbs smoking drinking?
well if you want to keep hating on the show and talking trash you go do that
Are you even looking at the current readings? They don’t look very good do that you see mostly red and they have a lost half of the reviewer since the beginning of the pilot showing. How in the world can you show continue but then again the way CBS shows are made like this piece of crap. It’s no wonder these ratings are The way they are. This is really sad how can I show lose half of its pilots rate teens ratings and still be considered a success? Oh wait this is CBS that’s why it’s the debt that… Read more »
