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.

What do you think? Did you like the Kevin Can Wait TV show? Should CBS have cancelled or renewed it for season three?
I love the show.The chemistry is great.
I really liked Erinn, We didn’t miss an episode. I don’t like it as much with Leah, nothing against her they were good together in King of Queens, But, they did argue a lot, and I’m seeing the same thing happening. It was funny with Erin not tons of arguing, that’s not funny.
The show lost me as a viewer when they let Donna die off. I hope a new show and station picks her up in a staring roll.
Love the show NOW with Leah Remini. Funnier keep it
Season Two ratings prove show runner Rob Lowe destroyed the show by killing off Donna ( @HayesLady) in favor of bring back Leah Remini, a desperate move that cut ratings in half. Facts don’t lie. The new audience liked Erinn Hayes. Too late to bring her back, she got hired by competitors.
They killed off the wrong character. It should have been Kevin. I’m still waiting for a single laugh from this rehash of the king of queens, resurrect Erinn Hayes, kill off Leah Remini and Keven James and rebrand this show to the Erinn Hayes Show.
I loved season 1, I loved Erinn Hayes and Ryan Cartwright.
Season 2 sucks, Leah Remini is awful, no chemistry at all, she is so out of place here, its like watching really bad episodes of King of Queens (I love that show)
Not sure what’s worse the writing or Leah Remini
Show is just a revamp of King of Queens since Leah came back. Bad choice to try to save a bad show by bringing back Leah. Keep Man with a Plan.
Cancel the show. Its crap now. This will be its last season. Leah remini has killed this show. Just like she did for king of queens and all her other sitcoms.
when donna was replaced I will not watch the show anymore. she was great.
cancel the show
Loved it with Donna (Erin) …won’t watch it now. As my son said, it lost its magic without Donna. Too bad, I like Leah Remini but not in this show.
They should make an episode with Arthur, Deacon, and heck – throw in Lou Ferrigno! Make it a “bad dream” episode, or a Halloween episode, where people dress as somebody else/former TV sitcom characters. That would be hilarious!
Watched the season premiere last night and could not have been more disappointed. Loved it last year, will not watch it again now. I thought Kevin and Erinn were great together. Seriously Leah Remini. To bad she’s not funny.
this show is awesome and I love the king of queens!
Cancel it, will not watch with Leaha Remini, she is overdone, and overbearing, and that accent, sorry makes me want to throw up !
leah is in “the king of queens” shes not even in this. what are you talking about?
Leah has been added to the cast of THIS show.
