The New King, Part 2
July 26, 2009 - 12:07p.m.
Watching Kings since its end-of-the-line banishment to Saturday night has been a lesson. For one thing, I'm late again; I'm hardly the most hardcore viewer in our little TV club famalam, but this has been a definite reminder ...

The New King, Part 1
July 19, 2009 - 08:07p.m.
A day late and a dollar short: it applies to today's recap of Kings, a.k.a. "Fodder for Brilliant But Cancelled in the Year 2050", but not to the show itself. We knew this show was dead on ...

Egads, no recap. (Sorry, it's just damn near impossible to wrangle this show on the weekend in a timely fashion.) But here's some space to chat about Saturday's episode, anyway. It was a great one. We probably ...

Chapter One

All right, you wanted Kings, you got Kings. As you may remember, we were covering the doomed-to-fail show from the start, but when it was put in time-out by NBC for bad ratings--and then moved to a dreaded Saturday-night slot--it ...

Greetings to the loyal subjects of doomed and worthy causes, and welcome to the first Saturday night showing of Kings. Mr. Pierce, your usual host, is off attending galas elsewhere, and I, his most unworthy humble substitute, shall attempt to ... -

This week's episode of Kings opens in the cornfield at David Shepherd's family farm. I've learned to cringe when this happens, because it means that we're going to see David's family, and while it's ... -

First Night

Well, after complaining last week about how good Kings was getting in converse proportions to its dreadful ratings, I was sort of hoping that when I took a look at how well it fared in the Nielsens, a few people ... -

The ratings for the first episode of Kings were, well...'abysmal' would be one way to put it. Despite weeks of hype on NBC, the two-hour premiere landed with a sickening thud. And that's too bad, because episode two ... -

When production of Kings was announced a few months back, I got irrationally excited. Not only did it promise to be a showcase for the gifted Ian McShane, generally ill-used since his unforgettable turn in Deadwood, but its premise is ...
