Altaaf's dream life with his new parents is shattered, however, when he discovers the man whom he now call his father is also the task force leader who tragically gunned down his family.

A good action drama. This time though I thought, that the musical numbers didn't fit the type of movie. And Preity Zinta should have had more screen time!
But otherwise the conflict between the characters is done well.

Plot:
The man. The myth. The driver. Doug Heffernan (Kevin James) is THE KING OF QUEENS, but his wife Carrie (Leah Remini) really rules the roost. Doug is the ultimate guy's guy, but he loves Carrie so much he's willing to sacrifice his tricked-out rec room (plus his 70-inch TV) so that her father Arthur (Jerry Stiller) can move in, a decision he's regretted ever since. Doug's free time is split between quality time with his wife and play time with his buds. A parade of crazy neighbors and oddball citizens of New York's middle-class borough help make this show the reigning comedy champ. THE KING OF QUEENS proves you don't have to have a huge castle to live like royalty.


The King of Queens
1.01 Pilot
Writer: Michael J. Weithorn (Writer), David Litt (Writer)
Director: Pamela Fryman
Cast: Kevin James (Doug), Leah Remini (Carrie), Lisa Rieffel (Sara), Patton Oswalt (Spence), Larry Romano (Richie), Victor Williams (Deacon), Jerry Stiller (Arthur)

This series is often fun to watch. The pilot though is nothing special. It sets up the premise, but wasn't really funny.
