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 loved this show!! I’m so sad that its not coming back! I thought it was so funny I love Kevin James
This show was truly awful from the beginning. The wife in season one was very wooden and unbelievable, the kids were just OK and Kevin was just blah. The only character I liked even a little bot was Chale. Bringing back Leah Remini season two didn’t help at all, if fact, it was more like a bad version King Of Queens. Hopefully something much better will replace this god awful sitcom.
Kevin can wait should of at least went to season 3. The show was funny and Leah was awesome as always and very funny with Kevin James. Why do they always cancel the good shows and maybe in season 3 their could be some new stuff happen with Kevin and Vanessa characters. Cbs or some network please renew or revive Kevin Can Wait. Kevin James knows how to make people laugh and this show was the best. Just like king of queens this show brings laughter to my gut and it needs to be on a network.
Really couldn’t care, after season one it just became tiresome. comparing it to last man standing makes zero sense, LMS maintained its quality through all 6 seasons.
I’m not unhappy at all about the end of the show. When they killed off his wife, it became a slapstick show that lurched from one stupid problem to another. At least with the original, it was more about family and less about Kevin’s stupidity.
I liked season one. Did not care for the show after they killed off Donna and I quit watching. I do not care that it was cancelled.
Someone needs to start a petition to keep Kevin can wait on the air…it was recently achieved for “last man standing”…they are moving to the Fox network… thanks to one police officer that didn’t stand for it to be canceled after 6 seasons. they probably only canceled Kevin because of Leah’s stance against Scientology. would not surprise me.
Kevin can wait was great…. don’t understand why this show is cancelled. made me laugh every episode
Think again before canceling this show please, these people and the show are wonderful, funny, the story has a long life, happy is good, pleaseeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
Very funny show. Please do not cancel Kevin Can Wait.
I’m glad this was cancelled. I didn’t think it was right to kick off his wife and bring on Leah. I loved them in King of Queens, but not on this show.
do not cancel!!!! full of laugh out loud comedy!!
This show has gotten more entertaining and funny this year. With the addition of Vanessa, it is so much better. We need more shows that make us laugh. Life can be tough sometimes and laughter makes it easier. Please don’t cancel
NO! YOU SHOULD HAVE KEPT IT ON!
Please keep Kevin and Leah on. I like to watch them. I was wondering why they wasn’t on. Are you going to make more shows?
Please bring Leah and Kevin together again! Big mistake cancelling the show!
