So I had some time on my hands tonight and this show came to mind. I searched for it online and found that it was on Hulu. First episode in and I am already hooked. This show is written and acted really well, even to a degree that you rarely find with shows that have come out this year. The plot makes you intrigued with where they could possible take a modern day King David story. Adaptations of biblical stories usually don't go over well production wise in this day and age. The viewer wants to see where the characters portrayed will go next.
Watching this show and getting so wrapped up in what could possibly happen next makes me also really pissed off. Here you have an example of a really great show that got canceled. NBC tried cash in as much as possible on this show, moving it from one night to another, and eventually canceling and rejecting the idea of another season. Seriously NBC, you couldn't keep this well scripted, well developed, and well acted show, but you can play reruns of Two and a Half Men. Don't get me wrong, Two and a Half Men minus Aston Butcher is hilarious. It just riles me up to think that stations like NBC, CBS, ABC, and Fox control what we airs on television but have the audacity to say that they base their decisions on viewership. I call bull on that one. The average American does not watch television anymore. You know what they do. They record their shows on DVR, they watch their shows online, they wait for it to come on Netflix.
Big stations are just looking for big money and I highly doubt they are making money off of television programs the way they used to. I am rambling but I really am pissed of that shows like Kings, like Firefly get cut off before their time for shows with more viewers. How about we keep the intelligently done shows and tell the people who want to be zoned out on Big Brother for an hour that they should go get some fresh air instead. I realize that my argument is not sounds but I mostly just wanted to pour out my outrage. Now I will go back to watching Kings. Try it you might like it too.
