Premise of 'Kings'
In this modern variation on the David-and-Goliath story, David Shepherd, a brave warrior in a city under siege, wins the gratitude of his king by rescuing the prince from enemy territory. His ensuing fame and rise through the ranks earns him the affection of the king's daughter, but David begins to realize it's getting harder and harder to tell his allies from his enemies.

My Other Self

I keep seeing commercials for this at the movies. I like Ian McShane, but this isn't my type of show.

tucker

the premiere has been moved up to sunday

is anyone going watch this?

MrX

I don't know if I can take McShane on tv and him not calling someone a cocksucker.

My Other Self

^That's part of my issue. I really miss Deadwood.

UngersPride

^ Me too!

DarkestPhoenix

Actually, the one show I'm really, really looking forward to.

OT - MrX, what is the deal with all the avatars looking like communist propaganda posters? Where are they coming from?

scorpion

Looking forward to it. I'll give it a look since Ian McShane is in it.

2 hour premiere tonight 3/15/09, which will condense Celebrity Apprentice to only 1 hour.

Orbi-Wan Techno

I liked the commercial when we saw it in the theater. Always interested in Bible-based stories in contemporary settings. Usually a hit and miss situation.

DeputyDave

Actually it's not modeled after a communist propaganda poster, it's the Obama "HOPE" poster. Er... never mind, same thing

Is this an ongoing series, or a limited series?

B.A.

I forgot to set the Tivo. Guess I will have to watch it online.

al_bundy

i saw the preview on ITunes. Looks OK, but nothing special. Everything will depend on the acting and the quality of the script

Torchur317

It's pretty good so far with a decent cast....

redrum

thought it was great, will be watching next week

scorpion

I liked what I saw tonight. I will definitely tune in next week.

Really liked it, mostly for Dylan Baker's character and the CrossGen plot. I'm especially excited that will be playing Cross's son and that will be playing his father, so that whole family's dynamic should be fantastic. Wasn't super psyched on the king's affair/the romance subplot, but I think it'll be interesting.

Lone Wolf

Did anyone else have to watch this in fullscreen? They had it zoomed in and I couldn't even read the text at the beginning. It said Kingdom of Gilb. The second line started with auguration. The war scene started with 2 years lat. To make things worse after the commercial break it came back in widescreen for about 2-3 minutes and then changed back to fullscreen.

scorpion

From my belief, it's an ongoing series. Hopefully it will last too, but you know how the networks are trigger happy about canceling shows.

Michael T Hudson

I had the same issue for about 30 minutes.

Torchur317

Pretty impressive pilot IMO....

movie diva

I was waiting for him to start his speach with that, but it is NBC, so I said it for him.
