CBS

10 years after Kevin James' first CBS comedy ended, the actor returned to the network with a new sitcom that, ultimately, wasn't worth the wait.

The show saw James star as a recently retired police officer, and after a poor first season retooled by killing off his wife (played by Erinn Hayes) and replacing her with Leah Remini's Vanessa, a former rival of James' Kevin. The handling of it garnered a lot of controversy, the ratings fell sharply (although that likely would've happened without the change-up), and now CBS have sent the show to the TV graveyard.
