NBC Adds ’Fear Factor,’ Drops ’Kings’ from Summer Roster

LOS ANGELES (thefutoncritic.com) — NBC has booked "Fear Factor’s" swan song, as the final episodes of the series will begin airing Tuesdays at 8:00/7:00c starting June 6.

Said installments will serve as a lead-in to "Last Comic Standing’s" new season, which launches with a two-hour premiere on May 30.

Conversely, the Peacock has quietly dropped its planned burn-off run of "Four Kings." Advance listings from the network had the show rejoining its Thursday lineup on May 25. Additional repeats of "My Name Is Earl" and "The Office" will instead fill the half-hour for the foreseeable future.

Also unlikely to get burn-offs: "Joey" and "E-Ring," as both series have been dropped from NBC’s web site.
