I am glad the show went for a big deal with the wedding in tonight's season premiere. The problem is they barely even covered the offscreen death of a central character. Kevin showed no remorse for Donna. They mentioned her dying due to a mailer from her gym and moved on.
During the wedding you could have had Kevin say something like, "Your mother would have been so proud of you," but the writers couldn't even include that in.
We all know the work Leah Remini did on The King of Queens and the great work she is doing fighting back against scientology today, but her character didn't work in the season finale last May and really doesn't work here.
This show has a laughs problem. It simply isn't funny and you have to wonder how long fans will stick with it for nostalgic purposes.
