NBC’s KINGS To Air Sundays!! New John Wells Police Drama Will Inherit ER Timeslot!!

Published at:  Jan 15, 2009 2:40:45 PM CST

SPOILER ALERT !!

I am – Hercules!!


“Kings,” the alternative-universe Ian McShane drama from writer-producer Michael Green (“Smallville,” “Jack & Bobby,” “Everwood,” “Heroes”), will air Sundays at 8 p.m. this spring opposite Fox's "The Simpsons" and ABC's "Extreme Makeover: Home Edition."

“Kings” was long set to take over the Thursday “ER” timeslot after the medical drama exits for good this spring. Instead, NBC has extended “ER’s” final season by three episodes and “ER” will be now succeeded on Thursdays at 10 p.m. by six episodes of “Southland” (formerly “Police”), a new cop drama from “ER” producer John Wells.

Come fall the daily “Jay Leno Show” will inherit NBC's 10 p.m. timeslots on all weekdays.

    can eat crap. that would be funnier than anything he's done in years. he's managed to take one of the funniest most beloved clowns in the histroy of the stern show and relegated him to a coffee cup waving bufoon. can't wait for kings, don't know much about it but it looks pretty interesting.

    BABA BOOEY BABA BOOEY!!

    fully agreed

    like a reality show with someone constantly bugging him. ralph's line today was great: "well next time you should just say no and put your wheel down." comedy gold.

    Sundays at 10? SERIOUSLY?

    by polyh3dron

    Kings deserves a prime time 9pm slot. I saw the 2hr pilot a while ago and it blew me away. Why is it that NBC sends off all its good shows to die?

    Sunday night is not a death slot, even for Network TV

    by adrianveidt

    I do believe it should be Sunday at 9PM est, though, instead of 10:00. Not that I care, I live in Minnesota.

    AICN should READ that THR blurb.

    by polyh3dron

    It says Kings will be on Sunday at 8pm. That's actually not so bad.

    So They Realized How Awful

    by crow3711

    The generic title "Po-Lice" was and prompty changed it? Probably after reading the AICN TBs rip it a new one. Southland isn't much better though. Just reminds me of David Kelley, and the worthless fucking hack he is.
