Michelle, I am posting some of what you sent me here so the fellow fans can have a glimpse of what your night was like:


They do give autographs at the end of
the show. However, you have to stay "up" in the
audience seating area and wait along a railing. Leah
& Kevin walk down the line, so they're a few feet below
you, and you hand down to them what you want
autographed. I (as in me & Matt) were the last ones
in line. When it came to our turn, I kneeled down and
handed Carrie my script --- I told her I was one of the
many KOQ fans, and I out right asked, if we (as in the
fans), started a petition for a Season 10, would that
be ok with her --- AND SHE SAID YES! And her
expression as she was looking down signing my script
was like an "Oh, yeah, yes."

When KJ came along, I explained the same thing -- KOQ
fan, would it be okay to start a petition for a Season
10..... I AM DEAD SERIOUS WHEN I SAY THIS -- HE WAS
LOOKING RIGHT AT ME AND SAID YES!!!! IT WAS A
YES WITHOUT HESITATION AT ALL!!!!! I told Kevin James
that if I got the "shutty" I would
let it go. I didn't get a shutty, and I was like we
can do a petition for Season 10!!!!

It was so one of those "I'll never forget that moment
ever." Doug was looking up at me (because I was in
the raised audience seating) --- and he was looking at
ME and said YES, and just that he was looking at me
while I was explaining made me feel like "Wow, he's
really listening to me."


Thanks, JP! :kiss: So what do you die-hard KOQ fans think about doing another iPetition for Season 10, like Sweetdiggity87 did for Season 9? How about it, Sweetdiggity, want to start one at the end of the summer? How about BOTH an iPetition AND writing in to CBS at:
CBS Television
7800 Beverly Blvd
Los Angeles, CA 90036
Attn: King of Queens

I would just leave it alone if I was you. Most good sitcoms stay on about 9 seasons now of days. Didn't ELR have 9?:lol: :cool:

Well, Michelle, I know that you have your heart set on a season 10 petition.
Last time was different, we were wanting a proper goodbye, a season 9, we got that, and now Leah has said herself that it's the last season.

If we were to have another petition, what case could we make other than.."We want a season 10 because we'll be sad if it ends now.":crying:

Get what I'm sayin'? :)

Who knows if the last petition made a difference anyways? It could've gone into the CBS fireplace.:lol:

I'm not sayin' give up, I'm just sayin' we're under different circumstances this time around.
Maybe you should ask Mentalo what to do...

Yeah I hate to say it, but its very unlikely that a Season 10 will come. I'm just glad that we're getting a 13 episode half season and that the show gets a proper sendoff, and finally makes it over 200 episodes WOOHOO. Now don't get me wrong, I'd love for it to keep going on, but I don't think that there is much left to do, that already hasn't been done, with the exception of Carrie finally getting pregnant or Arthur becoming sane. :lol: It would be good if Spence & Danny finally found the right women as well . :)

I wouldn't get my hopes up for a Season 10, since Leah has sad personally that its the last season.

I don't think we need to "state a case" for a Season 10. We're just a bunch of fans signing an iPetition and/or writing in that we want to see another Season of KOQs. How about a title like "iPetition for a KOQs Season 10"?

And, yes, I have spoken with Mentalo....

Mentalo says yes, and so did Leah & KJ. I have also received an email (I kid you not) that Leah Remini's mother said she wants to sign the iPetition, too.

:hello I think your iPetition for Season 9 did make a difference --- I got to see the first taping of Season 9, and maybe if it wasn't for your persistence and getting that iPetition out and around, I may have not had that opportunity. Also, Dennis Fix said once the iPetition got going, he'd do all he could over in Germany to get signatures....

Now do you want to be the one to tell Leah's mother that there will be no iPetition to sign? :faint:

Start the petition anytime you want and I will be happy to sign it. It certainly is not going to hurt. ;)

Of course we can do another petition, J.P.'s right, it can't hurt.

Who the hell emailed you with that info? You're in cahoots with the cast now? :lol:

No, I wouldn't want to tell Leah's mother that. But I would like to thank her for bringin' Leah into the world. ;)

Michelle, I couldn't tell you whether petitions work or not. But, I think a lot of us here made kind of an "emotional commitment" that the last petition was going to make a difference. I also believe that Leah posting that season 9 would be the last season was maybe kind of discouraging. So many of us had our hopes up and fingers crossed for a season 9. We got our wish and maybe we are still celebrating that, and are not ready to "tempt fate" again just yet. But, hey, if KJ and Leah say 'go ahead,' that's good enough for me!
I will sign any and all petitions that want to keep KoQ going. But, I can't let myself get my hopes up again 'cause the last time almost gave me the dreaded 'heart ischemia.'
I like to think of myself as an optimistic person, but I can't match yours, Michelle. :lol:

Alright lets just thank all the cast members mothers, and the fathers that helped. :D Heck I'll even throw in Lisa Rieffel's mom, even though she was only in 4 episodes. :)

To help get back on topic, I would sign a petition for a Season 10, in hopes of more comedy. But I truly think that Season 9, will be the final bow for the show, as sad as it seems. It should be A majority KOQ night on that final Monday.

8-9:00 PM- King of Queens highlight show, with highlights, interviews with the cast and crew and a behind the scenes look

9:00 PM- The "Pilot" episode airs, for a trip down memory lane.

9:30 PM- The Series Finale episode. :( ( I'm hoping for an hour for this one)

And then regularly scheduled programming.

What's "ELR"? Electric Light oRchestra?

Oh, ok --- Everybody Loves Raymond; I remember that show...

I'm sorry if ELR didn't make it past 9. I think KOQs has a little something for everyone. For me, it's Kevin James and Victor Williams; for the guys out there, Leah Remini. For the true old school comedian lovers, you have Stiller & Meara.

During some of the inbetween tapings, I saw KJ and LR talking, smiling, like they were having a laugh. In another scene while they were taping, one was making the other crack up....Don't know which one was it that couldn't keep a straight face and started it --- but you add in all the other characters, like Arthur --- and I'm sorry, all I can say is, "Man! They got it going ON!" :king:

Wasn't there some squabbling towards the end of ELR over salaries or something like that? Maybe that caused their demise? :confused:

We don't give a crap if we go out on top or the very bottom," says the actress, never one to mince words. "Plus, my job enables me to be at home and be with my daughter, Sofia, which is the most important thing for me at this point."

When it does come time for Remini to move on, she says, "I'd like to produce my own stuff -- whether that's a talk show, or something else. I want to be able to control my future. I don't want it to be in the hands of someone else." One thing's for sure, though, "Whatever I do next is going to be with my family around me. I don't want to hire people who don't want to have a good life."

I wish there was one of those little smiley things showing the Happy Face signing a petition....

The iPetition is coming --- it's "in production." :typing:

My fellow KoQ addicts, feel free to share some ideas for a title to be used as part of the web address for the new petition.

This is from the petition site:

Suggest a one-word short title (up to 32 characters) for your iPetition. We will use this word to generate a unique web address for your petition, of the form: http://www.ipetitions.com/campaigns/short_title
The short title cannot be changed later. Take a moment to think of something meaningful as it will be part of the web address for your petition.

For example, the last petition title we used was: SaveTheKingofQueens06

Ideas, anyone?? :)

If all goes well, this baby could be up and runnin' tonight. ;)

:thanx:

Our Season 10 Peti-shee-own!! (http://www.ipetitions.com/petition/KingofQueensWantedFor10thSeason/):typing:


Now, I wanna know if it's too short, sounds stupid, sounds good, needs changes, etc.
Basically, I just want feedback. :lol:

I can edit anything, so go ahead and suggest any changes you think need to be made. Especially in the "text area."
I can also change the "Make It Ten" title if someone else has any ideas.

I'll have a German translation included ASAP. :)

Thanks, J.P. for the web address. ;)
