I've always been a Kevin James fan too. Didn't watch King of Queens until syndication but it's one of my favorites. Probably had more to do with Leah Remini than him though.
I didn't know I hated laugh tracks until I tried watching this. Same for The Ranch.
I like Kevin James, too; I'm still a sucker for King of Queens in syndication, and I liked season 1 of Kevin Can Wait. But I was turned off by this one.
I may give it another go if I keep seeing good things about it on here.
