I started waching kings when it first aired and let me just say i loved it. but it got cancelled, removed, started again and it will get cancelled again because people prefer to watch reality tv, dumbasses, so im really undecided if i wanna start watching it again just for it to end

Brilliant show – at least it gets to complete its season – far and above anything else on.

As I read others views on Kings. It’s nice to hear it got better, because it couldn’t get much worse! (On the side I’m very upset with Hung, and True Blood not being played – Kings definately not an option)

After a previous posting about this show and catching it several weeks ago I succumbed to watching all of the episodes online one evening. And although my sacrifice of sleep cost me a treacherous headache the next day it was dulled by the fact that the series, its characters and the wonderful writing had me thinking about each episode the next morning and days later.

I am hooked and will most definitely buy this DVD series.

I love Kings, it’s had a weird and compelling appeal since the first episode, and I was really disappointed when I heard that after only a few weeks the network was pulling their support. TV is getting so depressing these days, in that it’s so hard to allow yourself to commit to any new show at all, because at least 2/3rds of the interesting new shows will now not even get a full run at a first season, let well alone any faint glimmer of a second. It’s beyond frustrating, and yet, I’m going to make the most of whatever parts of these quality shows we get, because I’m hopeful/naive like that. (Harper’s Island, recently, was given very similar treatment, and I think it’s a very interesting idea for a show, too.)

I think Kings is great. Each episode just keeps getting better, It’s a shame shows aren’t given a chance to catch their stride any longer. I just hope we get some kind of satisfactory conclusion. Even if its only David taking the throne.

I am really enjoying this show as well. Although it’s on at a bad time. I’m watching it each week on Hulu.com instead.

I really like this show and am sorry the network isn’t going to continue it, but that is the way it goes. It is one of the more entertaining shows around right now.

Common Sense,

Agreed that NBC deserves kudos for trying to break out of the standard cop/lawyer/doctor procedural of the week. And it’s a shame what they ended up with for trying to think different.

Which is one of the reasons why I’m so high on GLEE. If audiences fail to support unique shows and original concepts, all we’ll be left with is reality TV, and different variations of LAW & ORDER.

The show is pure greatness. It’s really disturbing when networks make a commitment to quality shows—and different, unique shows—like Kings and Merlin, and then network audiences ignore them. I would’ve been a series-long Kings fan, but when NBC suddenly yanked it, it almost feels like I’d be wasting my time trying to follow a lame-duck show. Hopefully I can find the time to catch it on Hulu or another medium in the future.

Kudos to NBC, however, for at least trying to break out of the standard mold of same-old, same-old that so many nets have fallen into.
