Yet somehow these mild-mannered institutionalists have produced, in the past thirteen years, some of the most iconoclastic shows on television-joyful, cracked visions of moral chaos full of rude wit and formal experimentation. They are repelled by didactic art, even when (especially when) they agree with the message. They are worker bees, proud of their ability to navigate within systems. The Kings’ careers have been defined by a shared set of values. “But not always-you get ’em in a certain mood.” “They’re very circumspect,” the actor Kurt Fuller, who plays a psychiatrist in “Evil” and has been the Kings’ friend since the eighties, said. She’s an introvert, and he’s an extrovert, drawing her out with the refrain “What do you think, Michelle?” They apparently have a twisted sense of humor, which their loyal friends and colleagues repeatedly bring up, then refuse to elaborate on. Robert is warm and voluble, with a fringe of steel-gray hair and baggy jeans Michelle, who is sixty, is more of a fashion plate, in leather boots and hip tortoiseshell glasses. In an era in which TV showrunners are often celebrated as towering art monsters, stomping their signature onto a tame medium, the Kings are refreshingly life-size: a family-oriented, hardworking couple, orderly in their lives and so polite that it’s hard at times not to feel rude around them. It’s the kind of charming origin story you might hear from friends of friends at a dinner party-likable types with a reflex toward self-deprecation. On the drive home, they had a bemused conversation: should they tell their parents that they’d set the date? Instead, when Robert asked if they could marry in the Church the priest misunderstood-and pulled out a calendar. Because Robert was set on a Church wedding, they’d scheduled an “informational” meeting with his parish priest, planning to have a tentative discussion about whether that was even possible. Robert was a devout Catholic, the middle child of seven in a tight-knit Italian-Irish family Michelle was a secular Jew, the only child of Holocaust survivors. “Oh, this story really makes me sound like a Catholic asshole,” Robert, who is sixty-two, said, looking at once amused and chagrined.Īt the time, in 1987, the couple had been dating for four years.

One day last fall, as Robert and Michelle King were being driven from Manhattan to Connecticut, to film “ Evil,” their irreverent spiritual-horror series on CBS, they described the day they accidentally got engaged.
