Kings 2009 -- We Are Thankful For Our King

[Rhymenoceros123]

Yes, I agree with many of the posters here, this is a terrible way to promote this brilliant show. It is the retelling of the biblical story of David, and it should have been marketed as such.

[cobra312004]

The promos were terrible in general. They led me to believe Kings was America with a King, not an alternate universe paralleling the story of the biblical David. NBC sucks. Any time they stumble on something special they go and screw it up.

[Luke94711]

I second that.

[carlyle101]

NBC said that they were worried about advertising the religious aspect because they thought people would get pissed that NBC is showing religious shows.

[mrrodgers0]

Agreed. Chuck barely made it this season, even with a very large corporate sponsor (Subway).

The crux of King's difficulties was it was trying to fit in a place it didn't belong. Let's face it, Kings is not a prime time network show. It belongs on HBO, where it can really cater to its true target audience, who consist mainly of middle to upper class intellectuals. The complexity of the plot, depth of emotion, and sublime quality of the acting and photography is simply lost on (more coming)

The promos were horrible. Who will watch a show with a butterfly for a flag! Kings is about a rivalry for power and glory and they gave us butterflies! NBC aka No Brain Company. The same people who canceled Southland.

@cobra312004 I couldn't agree more. When I saw promos for the show I thought it was just a fantasy version of West Wing. So, I didn't watch. Had I known what this was about, I would've watched.

[Spalove]

I love the show Kings, but this is a horrible promo.

Nothing was said about the connections with the King David story.

At the wake of a black president?? This was filmed a year ago! nice try. It's better than the Scientology based, tv show, Lost. It's about time they make a decent show with a good story

[wowzersss23]

uhhh, excuse you.

how many episodes have you see of this?

like 2 at the most.

lost is an amazing show.

i know you have your own opinion but come on! please say something nice about lost too, its an amazing show.

[leemailme]

Please explain what Lost has to do with Scientology.

[jim47brooks]

Lost is to Scientology, as Kings is to Christianity.

[nsbigdog]

why are these comments so long!?!?!?

[gabehw]

The paranoia from other commentators on this clip is hilarious. The show is a modern retelling of the epic (and might I add, biblical) saga of David, Saul, Jonathan, Abner, et al. Anyone with a smattering of knowledge about ancient Jewish history will be able to pick out references to other elements from the story in the very first episode. All this "anti-christ!-it's-the-end-of- the-world" business is, at best, the product of decades of pentecostal conditioning.

[ajb1776]

It is all a publicity stunt for a TV show based on David vs Goliath.

[keefer7777]

i only know ONE KING. But most of the world will fall for anything cause they don't know who the real King is... All these shows and the media are setting the world stage for the one world government and the anti-christ. Most people will disregard this truth cause of ignorance and they have no mind of their own. They choose what is told to them by lying and deceiving spirits. Jesus Christ is the true King and is readying His return to set up His Kingdom..Choose while there is time...messenger kw

[endurance37]

God bless you keefer7777. This is what Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman meant in the title of their movie that they did together called " Eyes Wide Shut". That movies deals with secret societies as well. The public is sleep. Well I can tell you this they will start to wake up when they see the movie that Tom Hanks is coming out with called "Illuminati" in May of 2009. You can google the trailer on youtube and the movie "2012". God bless again keefer, stay the course as well.

[markdcarter]

You're quite correct, keefer7777: this is transparently part of the British-Israel deception (as was "The Da Vinci Code").

There's a great article by Ken Adachi on "British-Israel": well worth a look! It's very important for people to understand this power ploy. "Ring of Power" on YouTube or GoogleVideo is pretty interesting too.

Lots of coded info in Kubrick's films indeed, endurance37!

[endurance37]

Inu4kagome brush up on the sign of the times,just type sign of the times on any search engine pick a webiste and start reading. What you think is one thing is really another meaning in this endtime that we presently live. Start with Reading as well the book of Revelation in the bible.

[caffeine3905]

I have checked out the web sight and this is a new show, but I do think that it may be in responce to all the end time chatter on the internet.

[endurance37]

No why does this give me a creepy feeling of the coming on the lawless one, yes the antichrist. The signs are popping up everywhere you don't have to be a christian to realize it. Just check out the History channel and the National Geograhic channel on a nightly basis, theres something about God and the Bible or endtimes on there just about every night.

[keefer7777]

amen. endurance. stay the course. fight the good fight

blessings, keefer

[LeoAdd0]

Either way, the show looks like a crock of shit. I agree, there's something in the way they're presenting this story. I'm not impressed. They made this movie to help white America's ego in the wake of a black President.

[Inu4kagome]

why do i think this is warning us about what's going to happen, this is a democracy and we're talking about kings? art imitating life if you ask me

[mcshanebest]

Love it! Thanks.
