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