Kings has just been banished from NBC’s regular schedule.

After several weeks of failed attempts in the Sunday 8:00 time slot, the Ian McShane vehicle was gently relocated to the network’s weekend calendar. Unfortunately, the freshman drama’s performance there still left a lot to be desired.

Effective immediately, NBC will air repeats of Law & Order: SVU, Southland and Law & Order on Saturday evenings. (Interesting side note: Southland‘s Thursday night spot was once owned by the bumped series.)

The remaining episodes of Kings are now scheduled to play out on Saturdays…in the summer. Make sure to adjust your DVRs between the weeks of June 13 and July 25.
