Kings is an incredible show with intelligent story design, intense acting and a unique idea that should be allowed to thrive on network television. But like most original ideas the people just won’t show up. I’m beginning to think I waste my time getting involved in high concept shows because they don’t stick around. NBC is pulling the series from its Sunday night slot and moving it to Saturdays at 8pm starting April 18.
The remaining 8 episodes that have been shot will run through to the end, and then that’s it for Kings. Sunday night’s are not a good time for NBC in general, so it appears that the network was kind of being tentative from the start. But here’s the thing: if people wanted to watch they would have, and NBC would have eventually moved Kings to a choicer timeslot.
The 8pm hour on Sundays will be filled by an extra hour of Dateline going forward.
