Wow that was the lamest character death on a sitcom of all time


I just think of Edith on Archie's Place, an entire episode of Archie dealing with the fallout of her death, breaking down at the end. 8 Simple Rules with John Ritter's character death, all the emotion everyone remembering him, the whole episode of them talking about him. Even Charlie Sheen got more with his characters death on Two and A Half Men.

Now on Kevin Can Wait all Donna gets is "Oh she died a year ago" then immediately into a kung fu joke. They spent less than 30 seconds on her death and completely glossed over it.

"Hey we said it was a year ago that explains why we're all over it and joking around like we don't give a shit!" clever writers very clever, cause now you don't have to write or get them to show any real raw emotion they can just skip all of it.

They don't even say how she died ffs, just shes dead out of the blue, these horrible writers need to be fired. Love Kevin James' excuse that the show was running out of ideas and having the wife die would give the show longevity. Bull shit, Leah Remini comes on for 2 episodes then what do you know the wife suddenly has to die and now Leah is on full time taking her spot.

They just wanted Leah on the show so they could make people think of King Of Queens and they didn't like Donna, plain and simple.

The whole monkey fist security thing is so stupid why would they take a trip to Florida it's the rinky-dink security outfit the writers are horrible on this show it's obvious Kevin James is a cheapskate and wanted Leah Remini back the only reason I watch it because the writing is so bad I have to laugh at how bad it is
