XCLUSIVE: The King of Queens star Kevin James is returning to his sitcom roots. I’ve learned that as part of the overall film and TV deal James just signed with Lionsgate, he will star in and executive produce a multi-camera comedy under the 10/90 model crafted by the Lionsgate-owned Debmar-Mercury. Under the template, Lionsgate and Debmar-Mercury sell sitcoms to mostly cable networks with an initial 10-episode straight-to-series order, which, if a ratings target is met, triggers a 90-episode back order that allows the sitcom to quickly amass enough episodes for its launch in broadcast syndication. Debmar-Mercury introduced the 10/90 model with Tyler Perry’s House Of Payne followed by Perry’s Meet The Browns and Ice Cube’s Are We There Yet? — all on TBS. In the model’s second incarnation, Lionsgate and Debmar-Mercury have been building comedies around proven sitcom stars including Charlie Sheen, the lead of Anger Management, now in production on its 90-episode back order; George Lopez, in production on the initial 10 episodes of Saint George; and Kelsey Grammer & Martin Lawrence, in preproduction on the initial 10 of the untitled Grammer/Lawrence project. Those three shows are on FX.

King of Queens is garbage. Can't be worse than that.

I couldn't disagree more with any statement.

I wouldn't say garbage, but it was definitely very average for that era.

They should make a show where Martin moves in to Frasier's building

It's just a very odd pairing. I can't imagine either of their styles will mesh very well together. It's great to hear Martin is heading back to TV, so at least he can keep himself from making another bad movie, but this show is probably doomed.

Frasier: How bout a glass of Sherry?

Martin: Who the f*^& is Sherry?

Audience:

Hopefully they switch it up and Kelsey Grammar is dressed up as the old woman.

I like the King of Queens and loved Kevin James in it. I find it hard to enjoy his humor since he got a hair weave, took steroids for Here Comes The Boom and embarked on a truly terrible movie career....oh, and he mushed me in Vegas

If they give Kelsey an alternate character named 'Kadezia', I'll at least give it one episode.

By mushed do you mean a game of catch? I saw him and Romano in Vegas. I got to ask them a question too! I asked them if "Grilled"-(terrible movie but it had the hot latina chick from Modern Family playing a guy!!) was supposed to be a comedy. Romano kind of fumbled his way through that answer.( They also called up from the crowd Leigh Remini,she was sitting across the aisle from my wife and we didn't notice her.

I've written the story in the past on here. I was on an absolute roll with one other guy at a blackjack table. It was a while ago but I think I was up a grand on $25 hands. Then the Mush of Queens shows up. He watches the action at the table for a minute or so and decides he wants in. I must have lost 10 straight hands in a row and eventually gave back most of the winnings. I was steaming. I turned to him and said "fucking king of queens" and stormed off.

That is a solid brush with fame story. I approve.
