In June I wrote to CBS and The King of Queens to request an autographed photo of Kevin James for Joe’s birthday since it is one of our favorite shows and we joke he’s Doug because he loves to eat and I’m Carrie because I’m so bitchy. Well, better late than never, the photo came today. I’d like to think it was really signed by Kevin James too since it is addressed to Joe.
Joe wants to frame and hang it in the garage and get the autographs of the other stars of the show now too. I have a feeling this is going to end up like our obsession with Friends: once we’ve seen every episode five times, we’re going to stop watching altogether. Of course, in this case King of Queens is still airing new episodes, so it will be awhile before we get to that point. New season airs September 19th!
As a side note, the DVR recording options are a bit limited. I can either choose King of Queens to record on all channels, or only one channel. If I select the latter, then I have to manually record all the new episodes on CBS (since I’d rather it automatically record the syndicated episodes that air twice every night on WCIU). If I choose all channels, however, it records the simultaneous high-definition broadcast when the new episodes air, so I have to go in and cancel those individually. I wish there was an added option like “all channels except hd” or “hd only”.
