    Stupid move on NBC’s part. Kings deserves a better slot than Saturday night… The show has actually gotten me to watch network TV again. Love it.

    I hope NBC realizes that Kings is actually an excellent show, really unlike any other series that’s on television now. I was shocked to see that my DVR didn’t record it this weekend, and then I find out it’s been “booted”?! I really enjoyed watching this show and thought it could have been something of epic proportions, but they decide to nix it after 4/5 episodes? How disappointing. I hope they bring it back (soon)!

    Bring Kings back!I am so disappointed it was taken off the schedule. I couldn’t wait to find out what was going to happen with each episode. I hate when a show I started watching gets canceled. It always feels like I left in the middle of a movie and never get the satisfaction of finding out what happens to my favorite characters.

    Ratings are a dead concept, who sits and watches television anymore? Most people are watching episodes of their favorite shows on the internet at their own conveniance. Television ratings alone shouldn’t be the only way to judge the popularity of a program.

    I love Kings but I always watch them online streaming on NBC website! I am so disappointed that there is no new episodes? This is a great show and I don’t understand why they pull it off??

    Kings is one of the best series that I seen, I download all episodies from iTunes, in one of the previous comments thay was right maybe some of us prefer to buy the episodies and not watch on the TV. the raitings needs to be more acurrate with all people watching on line or downloading from other sites.
    I really hope that NBC continue with this project.

    Extremely dull and unimaginative. A boardroom drama filled with expository dialogue. EEK. Maybe the Book of Lamentations would of been more exciting.

    Watched about the 1st 3 episodes of this show and it started to give me the creeps. The whole concept of an American absolute ruler cuts a little to close to the bone of what’s going on in DC.

    this is redicuolous. this show is comparable to the first season of heroes in terms of the acting and the good writing.its a shame on NBC to move the show.

    NBC failed itself here. Crummy promotions that didn’t give you any clue what the show might be, a typical ivory tower perception of the “cultural elite”‘s worth to the average American, and now another schedule change (first one came before the show even premiered). This is a damn good show, we know its a damn good show, but the marketing dept can’t admit it dropped the ball. How obvious is this – TELL PEOPLE IT’S ABOUT THE BIBLE, AND YOU’LL HAVE AN AUDIENCE BUILT IN.

    Kings is an awesome show. NBC’s crap promotion and dooming it with changing time slots has probably killed the show.
    Do yourself a favor and do not watch the shows on NBC or Hulu because you will be hooked only to get it taken away from you.
    Way to not promote a great show and put on another crap o’ la Southland or whatever.
    NBC you suck for ruining one of the most original and creative shows I have seen in a long time.

    I only watch shows on HBO. Kings is the first network show I have watched in years. If NBC cancels this show, which it looks like they will, I hope the creators sell it to someone that can handle a show of this quality and depth like HBO or FX or continue to release it on DVD.
