CANCELLATION ALERT: Of Kings and Prophets

After just two episodes, Of Kings and Prophets has been cancelled by ABC. First, it was delayed from a 10pm Sunday fall timeslot. Then, it got ABC's cursed Tuesday 10pm slot for midseason and premiered at an anemic 0.8 demo before collapsing to a 0.5 demo this week. It lasted even shorter than Wicked City did in the fall. So, two shows have lasted a total of 5 episodes in this slot. It must make ABC miss Forever from last year. It will be replaced by Beyond the Tank for the rest of the season.

This is just another Tuesday 10pm disaster for ABC. Since this blog started, I have seen Detroit 1-8-7, Body of Proof, Private Practice (at the end of its run), Lucky 7, Killer Women, Mind Games, Forever, Marvel's Agent Carter, Wicked City, and Of Kings and Prophets in this slot. And that's just the scripted shows. Only Body of Proof and (undeservedly) Marvel's Agent Carter lasted more than one season here and many of them have lasted just a couple weeks.
