Last-minute magic for NBC 'Kings' pilot


November 05, 2007 NBC beat the buzzer, handing out a last-minute pilot order Friday, the same day the WGA set the stage for a writers strike. Set in present day, "Kings" centers on "a regular small-town guy who gets mixed up with the upper crust social and political elite of a monarchy and eventually would become the new king," Green said. The plot of the soap, which will feature magical elements, loosely parallels the story of the biblical David, a shepherd boy who went on to defeat the giant Goliath and become Israel's second king.
