Go To

1* ActorLeavesCharacterDies: This happened to Donna in Season 2 after her actress Erinn Hayes was let go.
2* CreatorBacklash: Creator/ErinnHayes has nothing nice to say about the show after her firing. She was tickled when AMC came up with a series [[TakeThat directly mocking the show]] called ''Series/KevinCanFuckHimself'' and even went on to [[spoiler:make a cameo appearance in its GrandFinale episode as a CastingGag]].
3* TheDanza: Creator/KevinJames played a character named Kevin.
4* ExecutiveMeddling: CBS essentially tried to make the series another ''[[Series/TheKingOfQueens King of Queens]]'' by replacing Erinn Hayes with ''Queens'' co-star Leah Remini for the second season. Instead, critics and audiences saw the new pairing as inferior.
5* RealLifeRelative: Gary Valentine, Kevin James' real life older brother, played Kevin's older brother in the series.
6* ScrewedByTheNetwork: CBS, already facing backlash for killing off Hayes' character, chose to cancel it after Season 2.
7* StarDerailingRole: Kevin James' career has considerably slowed since this show was canceled. He did have another sitcom on Netflix called ''Series/TheCrew2021'' but it was canceled after its first season.
8* WhatCouldHaveBeen: Kevin James' original idea was to have the central character be a widower. This original concept was eventually realized come Season 2, albeit at the expense of Donna.
