I am watching this online. It's pretty good. Much better than I expected. Too bad, the ratings suck. This would have been much better on Showtime or one of the cable channels. NBC I guess will go back to more procedural.

Agreed. I would have like to see this on Showtime or HBO, but I'll take what I can get.

Banished to Saturday's. Pretty much as good as cancelled.

NBC is pulling "Kings" from Sunday nights, yanking the struggling allegorical drama effective this week.
Kings will be replaced with a second hour of "Dateline," which will now run for two hours starting at 7 p.m.
Sunday's "Kings" received a 1.1 rating among adults 18-49, while "Dateline" had a 1.5 in its half-hour leading into the drama. The thinking is that "Dateline" will provide a better lead-in for 9 p.m.'s "Celebrity Apprentice," which has seen some audience erosion in recent weeks that might be attributed to "Kings."
The remaining eight episodes of "Kings" will air on Saturday nights at 8 p.m. starting April 18. NBC pulls 'Kings' from SundaysRemaining eight episodes to air Saturdays starting April 18By James Hibberd

Re: Kings -- "Insurrection" -- 4/5/09
Correct me if I'm wrong - but isn't this a mini-series. Isn't is just supposed to air for a couple of episodes and have a beginning - end to the story?
I'm just glad that they will air it. I will record on Saturday - and watch on Sunday afternoons if I am bored (I like this time slot better)

Re: Kings -- "Insurrection" -- 4/5/09
I missed it too.. but figured that the move is next week -
Mods:
do you think we should merge these threads and create a "Kings - series discussion"
I don't think there is enough interest to give it a separate thread each week..
