While the first series of this show never really set the world alight it was an amiable and funny enough sitcom that just needed a bit of time to bed in. And maybe to lose the two kids that weren't funny or added anything...
However the powrs behind this show decided to panic and kill off Erin Hayes character of Donna (Kevin's wife), which gets merely a passing reference here, and bring in Leah Remini (from Kevin James's previous sitcom hit 'The King of Queens') in the hope that they would "re-find that magic touch" once more.
Unfortunately there were far bigger problems with this sitcom far beyond the wife character (who I thought was great) and this remained a pretty plot-less show. This episode offers some laughs, but it hasn't got a clue what it's meant to be about.
It would have been far better if they'd have focussed on Kevin and Donna living with their daughter and her new husband from the off. Or just done a 'King of Queens' reboot.
