Okay, couldn't sleep and a commercial came on for a new show called, "KINGS"? and I could have sworn I saw Wes Studi in the promo? |

You know, I've never watched "Heroes," for some reason, so I have no opinion one way or the other, although I've never heard anything negative about it... |

Seems like you weren't the only one
Premium channels like HBO and Showtime have the best programming and all the series I follow are on them. Never watch any series on cable except for some "reality shows" which I enjoy like "The Amazing Race" and "Dancing with the Stars"  |

I'd noticed it seemed to disappear too. Oh well. But my sister and I are devoted fans of Heroes. Great show. I'm sick of "reality" tv, law and order, and cop/crime shows. I like watching the reruns of old shows much more.

Sadly, over the years I've observed many deserving shows relegated to the trash can while pablum such as House, Lost, X-Files, CSI Miami, and American Idle, to name just a few, plays on and on and on, ...  |

KINGS
Created by executive producer Michael Green ("Heroes"), NBC's drama "Kings" retold the timeless tale of David and Goliath. The epic story's young hero inadvertently rose to power amidst war, greed, power, and romance. Instantly, viewers were welcomed to the Kingdom of Gilboa, a modern-day monarchy led by the well entrenched King Silas Benjamin (Ian McShane, "Deadwood"). Gilboa was at war with the neighboring Gath and on the battlefield was where young soldier David Shepherd (Chris Egan) emerged as Gilboa's symbol of bravery. King Silas invited David into the capital city of Shiloh, but soon realized that David may very well take over his throne. After airing four episodes in the Sunday 8pm timeslot, NBC relegated the drama to Saturday nights and allowed it to air its remaining eight episodes. "Kings" is a show that never really had a chance, which is quite a shame because it boasted a strong cast, the concept was unique, and the production quality was breathtaking. Regardless, the ratings dipped week after week, and with such low ratings it never stood a chance.

I started watching the first episode and turned it off after about 15 min. Rather watch reruns of CSI. |

I often frequent a web site called Hulu, dedicated to broadcasting movies and tv shows online. The other day they had the premier of Kings advertised as ready to watch. So, of course I watched it. The plot is a little confusing to me-I'm not sure if the countries ( which are fictitious) involved are supposed to be in real parts of the world or in their own fictitious world somewhere. The two countries are involved in a war, then peace, then war relationship. I'm not sure what they are fighting about(perhaps land?). A great deal of the plot is supposedly based on the biblical story of David and Goliath( I don't know if I quite see it that way unless I stretch my imagination a little too far). Anybody else with me on the questions here? The best thing was seeing Wes and seeing someone's comment posted on Hulu saying:"It's Magua from LOTM!" Was it one of you guys!!?? |

Oh, good, I'm not the only one who thought she saw WS in the commercial. I thought I imagined it for a minute. Of course, "Kings" will also have Ian McShane of "Deadwood" fame. Might make for an interesting show. . . . |

Hey, I saw that ad for Kings too! And I told Bea that I had sworn I had seen and heard Wes Studi on the promo and that I wasn't crazy. Now we both know neither one of us is. I don't know if I'll get to watch the show though.
