Kevin James' King of Queens ran for 9 seasons (1998-2007) as a moderate hit, which CBS seemed to treat as "filler." They moved it all over the place, and sometimes it did well (following "Everybody Loves Raymond," for example). The early years stuck to a tired faux-Honeymooners style. But once they ditched the live audience and brought in more of Doug's weird friends (Patton Oswalt, Gary Valentine and Victor Williams, for example), the show became an exercise in ridiculousness. Here's one of the less bizarre later episodes. The sequence in which Doug tries to annoy Carrie's co-workers is the highlight here (about 13 minutes in).
