NBC's "Kings" not so regal after all

After garnering pretty miserable ratings for the past few weeks, NBC's newest drama Kings is being pulled from its prime location on Sunday nights to the television graveyard that is Saturday night . Although I haven't seen an episode of Kings, it seemed to be a pretty promising new show. Unfortunately for NBC, viewers just weren't interested in watching this modern interpretation of David and Goliath.

Take a look at the trailer for Kings and try and tune in before this show joins the likes of Pushing Daisies and Life on Mars.

Even though there are no Jews on the island...



Earlier in the day, Michael Ausiello of Entertainment Weekly posted an amazing website on his Twitter account that compares the television show Lost to the Jewish Holiday, Passover. Being an avid Lost-watcher, as well as being one of the chosen people, I have to say that the similarities are truly uncanny. My favorite is probably the comparison between the Smoke Monster and the Ten Commandments. There may be no Jews on the island, but we can sure as hell bet God is definitely a fan of Lost.
