Fall TV: Kevin James Returns in 'Kevin Can Wait'

Kevin James returns to network TV this fall in a sitcom role that will feel cozily familiar to fans of his previous hit sitcom, The King of Queens. After a successful run as a movie star in films like Paul Blart: Mall Cop and Grown Ups, James is ready to settle back into the role of a sitcom dad, and CBS was more than happy to give him the vehicle in which to do so.

Kevin Can Wait features James as Kevin, a recently retired cop whose self-indulgent post-work life is interrupted when his barely-grown daughter announces that she plans to drop out of college and marry her unemployed hipster boyfriend. This, of course, means that Kevin's retirement isn't just going to involve pizza and go-karts; he's going to have to deal with the intrusion of those crazy milennials, too.

The premise is a set up for funny clashes between an American working-class everyman and the bewildering silliness of young people. Don't expect generational culture clashes a la All in the Family, though. Expect jokes about overeating, bodily functions and technophobia rather than race, class or gender issues. This is, after all, a Kevin James vehicle, and it delivers exactly the Kevin James you've come to expect, nothing more and nothing less.

Kevin Can Wait debuts September 19 on CBS..
