NBC's little-seen drama "Kings," which has disappointed on Sunday nights, is being exiled to Saturdays.Peacock plans to air two-hour editions of "Dateline NBC" in the 7-9 p.m. slot beginning Sunday. NBC execs believe the newsmag will serve as a better lead-in to "Celebrity Apprentice."But rather than scrap "Kings" altogether, NBC will continue to air the show in the Saturday at 8 p.m. slot, where expectations are extremely low. Peacock mostly airs drama repeats on the night.Move also comes as the Sci Fi Channel is set to run a marathon of "Kings" episodes Thursday night.NBC had been waiting to see if "Kings" would hold steady, but the drama posted its lowest rating yet on Sunday -- a 1.1 rating/3 share in adults 18-49 and 3.6 million viewers. After four episodes, the show has averaged a 1.5 rating/4 share in the demo.Michael Green exec produces "Kings," which comes from Universal Media Studios. The modern-day "David and Goliath" drama stars Ian McShane, Chris Egan, Sebastian Stan, Susanna Thompson, Alison Miller, Wes Studi, Eamonn Walker and Dylan Baker.

Yup, saw this earlier. I doubt anyone expected any different even though it's a fucking awesome show for network.
Sigh.
They really need to put that motherfucker on Tuesdays because there really isn't ever shit to watch then.
cancel heroes, use that slot, problem solved
>>3261155I'd love this, but I think they are implying more gravity on a Sunday as that is historically when all the epic critically-acclaimed shit goes down like Sopranos, BrBa, Mad Men, etc.
NBC owns showtime, right? That would be a nice home for Kings.
I'm going to rage when this gets cancelled just like Journeyman before it. Shit like this just makes me fucking spit fire.
>>3261186Showtime = CBS
>>3261201Fuck.Okay, A&E then. Might actually give some class back to that piece of shit.
>>3261213lolwho watches a&e
2 hours of Dateline? It's pretty clear they're just trying to replace anything that actually costs money to make with bullshit studio news shows and Leno/Late Night. So what's their goal? 2 hours of original programming a day? 10 hours a week total, minus reality shit which is cheap as hell too.
>>3261155This.
>>3261155Why is there nothing good on Tuesdays? Tuesdays and Saturdays are the only days where my DVR goes unused
tuesdays:ncisreaperduh
an HBO show that was accidently shown on NBC.Needs moar swearing.
This happening to Kings, while trainwrecked shit like Heroes are left to run makes me fucking rage.
>>3261281> NCISfuck that bullshit. no more of these shitty cop shows.> ReaperI don't watch the CW because it's a combination of the WB and UPN. Shit + Shit = _ _ _ _
>>3261381Ian McShane will be out of work, meanwhile Ali Larter will be sipping Mai Tais and getting ready for Season 5...
>>3261381Basing your show on the fucking bible sounds like a great recipe for a total fucking trainwreck to me.Fuck this show. Imma go watch Chuck.
>>3261640The bible has a lot of cool stories.They also took the role of God in the story of King David and divided it into three separate entities, all working against each other.
>>3261640Not if it's well done. Plenty of atheists (at least 5-10 of us fuckers on /tv/) love this show. Some of the symbolism (i.e. monarchs) is a bit simplistic, but compared to Heroes and other drivel it's a masterpiece for Network Television.
Best thing to happen to network television in ages, and they fuck it up. Fuck i hate the person who thought it was a good idea for a sunday night show.
Tuesday is when NBC has Law and Order SVU. They just need to get rid of the Biggest Loser. All their reality shows, really. ORIGINAL CONTENT? ON MY N/b/C?
>>3261640> Chuckyou fucking faggot
Susanna Thompson needs to get on a regular show where she makes out with many, many women. Unfortunately, DS9 is long gone and The L Word is winding down.
>>3261663why do you keep saying that? what the fuck are you talking about, three entities? what three entities?
>>3261667This, I'm not religious in any form but I love this show and don't mind the god stuff at all. It's a fictional TV show, it's where god belongs lol.
Awesome. Now I can't even watch the show when it airs like I have been doing because I work Saturday nights.When the fuck is this change happening? This week?
>>3261131This poor show's been put in the shittiest timeslots. It deserves a Tuesday or Thursday airdate, at least. They really didn't give it a shot, did they?
>>3262976Looks like the spent a butt load on it too, It would have been a huge hit if aired in the summer I think
LOLCANCELLED
NBC must think the intellectual prowess of their demographic is that of at least a thirteen year old or something. Too bad most people that watch NBC watch it for Lost, and you know those slack-jawed troglodytes are on par with Limbaugh, in terms of intellect.
Kings is not a masterpeice, but its up there near Lost as the best on network tv. Will be missed
>>3264397>implying that lost is goodLOL
>>3264411>i think terminator and supernatural are good shows
Great, two hours of murder documentaries in place of original drama on Sunday? This sucks. At least there's Southland to look forward to.
>>3264411Why didn't you just sage while you were at it?
>>3264418spot on about SPN but even summer glau can't save TSCC from being one of the worst shows ever
>>3264450I like kings
