"Kings": TV's Best Show, Unsurprisingly Canceled

It's only because of Ian McShane, who simply exudes royalty as it is. This will not astonish anyone who watched "Deadwood" religiously--like me.

The show is a modern update on the King David/King Saul story. It is beautifully shot, exquisitely written/adapted/updated, wonderfully acted, and endlessly entertaining. No wonder the dipshits at NBC canceled it. So sad, but quite fitting. Ian McShane has the Midas touch, in that everything he touches turns to gold. Unfortunately, like in the movie "The Gate II" (I'm pretty sure I'm the only one I know who's seen it), everything eventually turns to shit.

NBC's decision really ends primetime, which had actually been dead, or at least on life-support, for the last ten years. Damn that was a good show, though. Fuck! (And "Two and a Half Men" surges forward, to deliver more hackneyed and unfunny shit. So unfair.)
