Kings

Did anyone else watch this last night on NBC? I REALLY enjoyed this show...the 2 hour premier was amazing. I think I'll have to keep watching this one. For those that missed it, here's a recap on NBC.com: [url=http://www.nbc.com/Kings/recaps/index.shtml#cat=1&mea=101&ima=61568]Kings TV Show | Videos, Photos, Cast Bios & Character Profiles | NBC Official Site[/url] Concept in a nutshell: [QUOTE] "Kings" is a riveting new drama from executive producer Michael Green (NBC's "Heroes") about a modern-day monarchy. The series is an epic story of greed and power, war and romance, forbidden loves and secret alliances -- and a young hero who rises to power in a modern-day kingdom. "Kings" stars Ian McShane (Golden Globe-winner, "Deadwood"), Chris Egan, Sebastian Stan, Susanna Thompson, Allison Miller, Wes Studi, Eamonn Walker and Dylan Baker. [/QUOTE] I mean, I was really impressed with this show. Ian McShane is awesome as usual, and Chris Egan, an actor unknown to me until last night was excellent, and he reminds me of Matt Damon for some reason. Either way, I'm going to come out and say you all should check out this show.

I didn't have a chance to watch it although the premise looked interesting. Don't get too attached. :D [INDENT] [FONT=Courier New]The two-hour debut was stalled at the gate, with a mere 6.00 million viewers and a 1.6 rating/4 share among adults 18-49 from 8-10 p.m. Take a look how Kings declined in every half hour in total viewers. Kings (NBC) – series premiere 8:00 p.m. – Viewers: 6.47 million (#3), A18-49: 1.6/ 5 (#4) 8:30 p.m. – Viewers: 6.33 million (#3), A18-49: 1.6/ 4 (#4) 9:00 p.m. – Viewers: 5.71 million (#4), A18-49: 1.6/ 4 (#4) 9:30 p.m. – Viewers: 5.49 million (#4), A18-49: 1/7/ 4 (#4) One week earlier in this block, a SNL repeat special and the first half of Celebrity Apprentice averaged 6.89 million viewers and a 2.7/ 7 in the demo. Do the math and that is a loss of 890,000 viewers and 41 percent among adults 18-49. Let’s be honest: did anyone really think this show would work?

Did you watch last night OPD? Although I did not enjoy it as much as the premier I still liked it. Maybe because I know its headed for cancellation I'm trying not to like it. It does make me want to read my bible to refresh my memory about Saul & David.

Every new show that is being turned out seems to be get to a running start and then they slam into a wall. Haven't seen it yet actually though either...I have to set that to record.
