Broadcast and Reception
The miniseries was initially broadcast as five 2-hour episodes on NBC, beginning February 27, 2000. The 10th Kingdom won an Emmy Award for Outstanding Main Title Design in 2000.
Seattle Post Intelligencer critic John Levesque found Kimberly Williams "annoying yet somehow captivating as Virginia." Ron Wertheimer describes Virginia as "that plucky waitress...on her way to self-confidence."
Variety's Laura Fries asserts that "Kimberly Williams is doe-eyed and pretty and is heavily featured throughout, but 10 hours is a lot for this star to carry on her shoulders." Christopher Null felt that "Larroquette an unfortunate casting choice. 30 minutes of Night Court has always been my limit on the guy. 417 minutes is too much of his abrasive attitude to handle."
As of August 2012 the entire 5 episode series is available to watch on Netflix's instant streaming service.
