Ah but KR had the most successful pre-transmission advertising campaign ever! The fact it didn't get the ratings NBC wanted is because people saw the awful vision GST had for the show in those early eps! So I wish people would stop bloody going on about NO advertising! There was tons! But as the se...

Sure. KARR is a ratings dynamo. You can guarantee they'll bring him back for November sweeps.

I don't want to be Chicken Little here, but I do NOT see this as a good sign. Why would NBC allow him to star on an ABC comedy series if he was still under contract for Knight Rider? I can't recall an instance of an actor starring on two shows on two different (non-related) networks at the same tim...

The pilot film made it seem like the nanotech was a symbiotic entity that spread around the body of the car like a virus replicating. Almost like cells aggregating together to form a skin over the car. But the series made the concept much more mechanical. I prefer the series approach over the film o...

Hollywood reporter says so. Care to post a link to your source? It said Hollywood Reporter as a source for that information. I can't find the independent article though which means its not legit and my post was wrong. We'll definitively know what's going on in the next 2-3 weeks anyway when NBC ann...

Hollywood reporter says so.

I think this may be a good idea, look at the Heros forum over 8,000 topics KR ony has 400. While the execs may use the ratings I am fairly sure their sites activity is considered as well. If not why bother having it available when their are fan sites such as KRO. :kitt2: B/c the internet is the nex...

NBC suits aren't going to care about that so I wouldn't stress over it. They care about ratings b/c that attracts advertisers who will pay top dollar for commercial time on a highly rated show. Just follow the money trail. That's all it takes. As far as fansites are concerned you'd be surprised. Whe...

People seem to like reality shows more period, god knows why? :roll: :D I suppose, and this is not meant to insult anyone, because intelligence isn't a prerequisite to watching reality TV. (Sorry if I'm being mean, I've had a crappy day) Interestingly, male centric reality shows on network tv don't...

I remember when Marco Pierre White was featured on Anthony Bourdain's No Reservations London episode. Sucks that his show didn't do that well. Sucks?!!? You fail. . Yeah it sucks. Its juvenile to attack a show just b/c its featured on Wed at 8 on NBC. Besides being incredibly lame, "Oh KR migh...

Make KR dark and give it great writers and you have a better chance of creating a series that will catch on. Explain Bionic Woman. :| Dark doesn't always mean better. All it will do is make KR seem like every other show on TV. Very simple. There will always be exceptions to any given rule, scenario...

Mr. Marcus, I agree with you....to a certain extent. I personally think that the balance of the show has come a long way since inception - in terms of character balance, plotlines, and overall tone. I personally like the humorous touches, but the show never comes across as pure comedy - it comes ac...

We have to remember too that Knight Rider in the 80's was not campy. But looking back on it it is campy in retrospect ONLY because it was aired in the 80's. Likewise THIS version of KR will be campy 15 years from now without them trying to be. Make it serious and it will be campy by default years f...

I think alot of this is the idiots that want it be cancelled. I hope it gets renewed so we can shove it their face. If you don't like the show DON'T WATCH! And leave the rest of us who enjoy it in peace! Go watch some reality crap on another channel because pretty soon that's all that will be on tv...

. Superheros are ridiculous, breaking your brother out of a maximum security prison using a tattooed blueprint on your body is ridiculous, a forensics expert who moonlights as a serial killer is ridiculous. But these ridiculous premises have been given great writing and a dark tone. That's why they...

I'm trying to offer up some solutions. They tried it the GST way. If a dark tone and great writing is objectionable, then maybe KR is best left buried and remembered via TOS. The mass public was not interested in KR08 in the form it was presented in. The ratings proved that. There really isn't anywh...

t's a show about a guy and talking car, for the love of Drake. It's meant to be ridiculous. The regular cast members (the new Michael Knight, the new foundation woman, the hot Asian computer chick and the whiny little nerd) have a goofy chemistry that, even when the show delves into "serious c...

GST talks out of both sides of his mouth, so why should we take these words as being true? I don't think he's being disingenuous here. He only stated that the cast has not been released from their contracts and that renewal might hinge on the international market. None of this really matters at thi...

Pretty generic looking logo. Would have been better if they used the Knight chess piece. You know, Wilton Knight and all that stuff.

Interesting info, especially the part about the cast not being released.

Putting user comments aside and sticking solely to their article, they make a very compelling case. But its nothing new. On network tv its the advertising dollars that count the most, not the quality of the show. So it makes sense that cancellation/renewal is largely dictated by the 18-49 demo. All ...

I dunno man. I found Bear Grylls peeing on his hand and eating a fresh Yak eyeball more entertaining than an episode of KR08. Things which he did do by the way on Man v. Wild. There's a lot of excuses being thrown out. You can't compare KR08 and TOS b/c TOS was 80s, give the new series a chance, the...

The concept can work but it needs to be more focused. In the 80s you could get away with the simple formula of a womanizer with a fast car/van/helicopter who blows stuff up and a bare bones plot that moves the episode along. Now you can't have female leads that are solely the damsels in distress. Th...
