NBC Moving Kings Once More

Kings continues its constant duck and weave maneuvering as NBC announces the show will return to the Saturday night slot this summer to finish out the run. Initially it was thought that NBC would yank the show from the schedule after it ran on Saturday nights for awhile. Instead NBC is just pulling the plug altogether for right now.

Reruns of Law & Order: SVU, Southland and Law & Order will take up the 8pm Saturday slot starting this week instead of Kings. Starting June 13th, and running through July 25th, the series will air the rest of its episodes. And that should be it for any maneuvering.

As soon as NBC announced the intention to pull Kings I stopped watching. There’s too much on TV right now for me to get invested in a fledgling show. It’s the same reason I doubt I’ll watch the final run of Pushing Daisies over on ABC this summer, despite loving that show.
