8 TV Shows That Owe Their Longevity To Boobs

8. King Of Queens

For those unaware, King of Queens was another sitcom in the proud tradition of Sloppy, Immature Guy Is Somehow Married To Motivated, Super Hot Woman. It's basically Everybody Loves Raymond, but with a sexier leading lady and a fatter leading man. If Kevin James' forays into movies has proved anything, it's that a gross number of people are willing to sit down and watch a cheap Jack Black imitation drone on for 90 minutes so long as they eventually get to see him fall on his face in a hilarious manner.

So cut down the runtime to a third and slap it on TV with a nice piece of eye candy by his side? There's your explanation for King of Queens success. It's not that the show wasn't occasionally funny (it did feature Jerry Stiller and Patton Oswalt, after all), but the degree to which it went out of its way to plod out every irritating trope in sitcom history only to be countered with "and now here's a shot of Leah Remini's bountiful cleavage" was just downright insulting.

Also, if it counts, having Lou Ferrigno's equally bountiful bosoms show up as a regular for six seasons helped distract women from the fact that most of the male cast was made entirely of heavy cream.
