I seriously love this show.  I think I'm cursed when it comes to TV shows I like. :(

I never understand why networks will spend tons of money on a show, but not make any effort to market it.

People with fancy marketing degrees probably told them so.

Lovejoy ain't dealing antiques anymore. The show seems good so far.

Spoilers ahead, more or less...







And so the true battle between Silas and David begins.  I wonder how David will escape to Gath and what will become of the other players.  In theory, shouldn't Reverend Samuels be dead by this point in the story?  Mayhap an unfortunate end coming for him via the brother-in-law and his coup plan for not backing him?  Who knows.  Also, anyone else notice the Ark of the Covenant in the train in Saturday night's episode when David grabbed the charter?

what I always found odd is that networks who produce a show don't take potential foreign customers, as well as the web-crowd into acocunt when making stuff. They really need to learn that the world is bigger than their tv or their country.
This goes especially for english-language productions as many of them can expect to find a global audience.

I fully expect any TV show I like to be replaced with idol shows or Mansquito sequels as soon as it starts getting good.

It takes a lot of foreign and DVD sales to pay for a TV series like Kings, which I am willing to bet cost $3-4 million an episode.

In marketing, they should have mentioned its Biblical origins so as to capture some Christian people. I had no idea it was based on King David until I watched it, and other Christian-focused people I know had passed up watching it because they were unaware of its premise.

There's foreign advertising too. Take 2 or 3 countries worth and you have the equivalent of what they'll get in the US.


And yeah, I'm really surprised that they didn't play up the religious angle. I assumed they would have done. It just makes sense.
