Advance showings received mostly positive critical reviews.[4] The Sunday, March 15, 2009, premiere placed fourth in network television ratings for that evening.[5][6] After four episodes aired, NBC moved it to a Saturday slot,[7] but only showed one more episode before pulling the series until summer.[8] The remaining seven episodes aired on Saturdays in June and July. However, the network cancelled Kings after failing to find a sufficient audience.[1][9]
