TV show description:
This traditional sitcom revolves around Kevin Gable (Kevin James), a newly retired police officer who lives in Massapequa, New York.
After 30 years on the force, Kevin’s looking forward to relaxing and spending quality time with his wife Donna (Erinn Hayes) and their young kids — Sara (Mary-Charles Jones) and Jack (James DiGiacomo).
When his oldest daughter Kendra (Taylor Spreitler) announces she’s dropping out of college to support her tech-wizard fiancé, Chale (Ryan Cartwright), Kevin knows his only choice is to move them both into his converted garage to keep her in school. Kevin was going to rent it out for extra money and now finds that he may need to find another job.
Kevin’s former work buddies graduated from the Academy with him, served on the force together, and retired at the same time. They are Goody (Leonard Earl Howze), Kyle (Gary Valentine), and Duffy (Lenny Venito).
When the second season kicks off, Donna has died, and Kevin is working for his old partner, Vanessa Cellucci (Leah Remini), at her security firm.
Episode #48, “A Band Done”

What do you think? Did you like the Kevin Can Wait TV show? Should CBS have cancelled or renewed it for season three?
We may not watch any more episodes of Kevin can wait. If I wanted to see King of Queens I would watch reruns. Kevin and Erin have great I interaction. This is a new show and the characters work well together. We don’t need to resurrect a 10 year old show
No do not kill her off…. Just replace Leah with her like Leah has always been there ….people are replaced all the time ..kill off is a bad Idea…just replace and carry on into the new season ….
I am disappointed that they are taking off Erinn Hayes. Liked the way they worked together (including dynamics between oldest daughter mom and husband). One thing I hated about King of Queens was they got so nasty with each other at the ending of show. Guess I will be tuning out of this show now since it appears trying to bring back similar to King show. Liked that it was different but I’m out thanks
Bring back Doug! King of Queens was more realistic and down to earth. Bring back Carrie.Arthur is now 90, but bring him back, too.
Cancel it please!!!
Lynn, you are so right.
This show is laugh out loud funny and I love Kevin James
The best thing about this sitcom? They ridded that horrid woman that was the wife of Kevin James. Good riddance! God she was the worst actress I have ever witnessed in my life! And thank god they brought back our Leah Remini. I have no idea who came up with that wife and then killed her off, but again good riddance. She must have been sleepinng with someone to even get the job. She stunk!
I love this show! The future son-in-law is so funny! So is Kevin James and his wife on the show. Please keep it going. I enjoy the laughs!
Great show I tape the show and watch it when I can. Keep it running I need a good show to watch.
This show is TERRIBLE. Just watched a episode of this crap. Seriously the King Of Queens had the same plot line on the show that aired 03/20/2017 OMG cancel and try something NEW. I loved King of Queens so watched every episode till now. Will not watch again.
Hated king of queens and they had ti brothers no her back. To make it even worse. Can’t watch the whole thing. Hate it!
This is the same moronic, overweight buffoon with the same stupid schemes as Doug Heffernan, Except now he’s got three idiot children and a wife much too young and pretty for him. It wasn’t funny then and it isn’t funny now. Cancel this trash and put on something better, anything better!!!
Renew Please!! I love this show. It is Kevin James at his best, and the cast is great which makes this a great comedy that my whole family enjoys.
Im not against the show. But its more a comment on how brain dead America is. Its like so many shows where you pour whatever you have in a trough to feed farm animals, day in, day out. Kevin James is serving up the same garbage. But the execs are paying him to do it. So why not. America has become a hosed down and vapid version of its former self, unfortunately.
I like the show, and while Kevin James plays a same, predictable character, he’s still funny. I am not fond of the casting for his wife. I just think she’s try and not a good fit for the character.
I am a devoted King of Queens fan and bought the entire series. I love Leah Remini and its hard to see Kevin with someone else. His new wife just isn’t funny. Leah was abnoxious which made her funny. I do love the show though. He really has to stop with the gluttonous food comedy. Not funny anymore.
It is a very funny show and we really enjoy it.
