For all three of us that still care, the show returns for the rest of its episodes Saturday (June 13th) at 8/7C.

Thanks for the reminder. I'll have to make sure my DVR is still set to record it.

If this show had been on HBO and had all the added content/sexuality/violence that would entail it would've been a hit I think (that and HBO would've actually promoted the show).

I believe that would be the third time I've read that exact phrase in this thread.

I really enjoy this show, caught up on all the episodes and can't wait to see the ending. One complaint was it got a little soap operaish.

If you've never seen it, you may want to get The Tudors and watch it. I just started watching season 1 and find the show absolutely brilliant, it deals with some of the same themes - political intrigue, religion, love. I always found english history very boring so ignored the show, but its been much better than I expected. Its also on showtime so there is quite a bit of tits and ass and swearing. I keep thinking of Mel Blancs phrase, "its good to be the king" lol

Mel Blanc? thats the voice of Bugs Bunny, Mel Brooks made History of the world part1 which has the line "its good to be the king"

I haven't found time to watch it myself, but I may need to apologize for reminding you the show was back: apparently the ratings were downright abysmal, like probably setting a new record low for a new episode on one of the big four.

Given that it only saw half of what an L&O repeat is getting, it is an open question of whether NBC will keep it on the air - yes, NBC has already paid for the episodes of Kings (vs. the additional repeat cost they would pay on L&O), but if NBC makes up more than the difference on ad rates*, then the rest of Kings will only show up on DVD, if ever.

*Apparently, the networks "guarantee" a certain rating to the advertisers, and if a given show performs worse than that, the network has to give them additional ad slots sometime else - which means the network isn't getting paid for the ad they had to replace. So the math gets somewhat complicated.

Dam I had actually already forgotten about this, good thing thread got bumped or i'd have missed it totally.
