Kings Pushed to NBC’s Summer Schedule

Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Drama, Prime Time, NBC

Kings has just been banished from NBC’s regular schedule.

After several weeks of failed attempts in the Sunday 8:00 time slot, the Ian McShane vehicle was gently relocated to the network’s weekend calendar. Unfortunately, the freshman drama’s performance there still left a lot to be desired.

Effective immediately, NBC will air repeats of Law & Order: SVU, Southland and Law & Order on Saturday evenings. (Interesting side note: Southland‘s Thursday night spot was once owned by the bumped series.)

The remaining episodes of Kings are now scheduled to play out on Saturdays…in the summer. Make sure to adjust your DVRs between the weeks of June 13 and July 25.

Sunday Ratings: Kings is No Ratings Ruler

Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Animation, Comedy, Drama, Prime Time, Reality, ABC, CBS, FOX, NBC, The CW, Amazing Race, The, Apprentice, The - Donald, Desperate Housewives, Family Guy, Ratings

One of these evenings NBC will get it right. Just days after witnessing a painful debut by The Chopping Block, the network did it again. Yesterday’s premiere of Kings failed to deliver any power to the Sunday night lineup. CBS wound up winning the viewers while ABC topped the demos.

8pm

• The Amazing Race 14 (10.4 million, 3.0/8 in 18-49) picked up 200,000.
• Extreme Makeover: Home Edition (9.5 million, 3.0/8) did the same as last week.
• The Simpsons (6 million, 2.8/8) remained steady.
• Kings (6 million, 1.6/4) had the lowest demo of any original last night.
• King of the Hill (5.4 million, 2.4/6) added on 500,000.
• CW’s broadcast of Moonstruck (0.2/1) attracted 1.2 million.

This Week on TV (3/9-3/15)

Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Animation, Comedy, Drama, Food & Home, Prime Time, Reality, Sci-Fi/Horror, ABC, Bravo, Cable, CBS, FOX, NBC, The CW, TNT-HD, America's Next Top Model, Apprentice, The - Donald, Dancing With The Stars, Everybody Hates Chris, Family Guy

(You can view TV Envy’s Midseason Programming Schedule here.)

MONDAY 3/9)

• Dancing with the Stars (ABC, 8pm):  Season premiere. “This season, a new feature in the early weeks is a dance-off between the bottom two couples facing elimination.” Steve Wozniak + moon walk = elimination-proof.
• The Big Bang Theory (CBS, 8pm):  “The guys’ trip to San Francisco takes a detour once they learn that actress Summer Glau (appearing as herself) is on their train.” If you don’t already know who Summer Glau is, you probably shouldn’t be watching this show.
• How I Met Your Mother (CBS, 8:30pm):  “Ted reunites with his college girlfriend (Laura Prepon), prompting Lily and Marshall to reveal how much they loathed the snooty woman.” From what I recall, one can easily bond with Prepon over a quick smoke break.
• Castle (ABC, 10pm):  Series premiere. “Well-known mystery writer Richard Castle is questioned by a fiery detective about a serial killer reenacting murders from his books.” Kinda sounds like Basic Instinct, sans a naked Michael Douglas. Or Sharon Stone. Or Jeanne Tripplehorn.
