Wife, friends and kids will get show cancelled
This couldve been a hit show if they picked a better cast
shareIt won't happen, but they need to drop Gary Valentine.
Not one of his scenes so far has been funny or necessary. They could edit out every scene he has been in and it wouldn't make a scrap of difference.
I actually like Gary Valentine's character on the show; just not a big fan of the show itself. As a huge fan of KoQ, I have to say that Kevin Can Wait does not have the same charisma. Jerry Stiller's interactions with the cast (especially Patton Oswalt) gave KoQ a layer that Kevin Can Wait just doesn't have.
shareHe isn't needed at all. He only ever seems to turn up at the pizza place to fill the table, but he really adds little.
shareDead on, Arthur Spooner was a riot. You never knew what was going to come out of his mouth.
shareAbsolutely! I once read an article quite a few years back where Keven James explained that he had "begged Jerry Stiller not retired but instead join the cast of King of Queens". Keven told him that he believed "the show won't be successful without him". I think Keven thought this new show could be successful on his own merits... he made a big mistake! He should've humbled himself and found a well established/liked, funny actor to join the cast. He has the ability to be funny but he needs a good supporting actor to build from... this show doesn't have that and his brother (although has his funny moments) isn't enough. Not to mention... I find his wife stupid as well as his boring unfunny friends.
shareI fully agree! I truly enjoyed Arthur's rants on just about anything! From his rant about Raymond Burr's "best" films at the video store to his half-brother "Skitch" to even being "held hostage" in Carrie and Doug's basement...Jerry Stiller was a true gem in that show!
