New KR series format

Post by HungarianKnight » Wed Nov 21, 2007 3:17 pm

I was wondering about what kind of format should the new series follow. In the 80's, the common type was the single story per episode. Nowdays season-long story arcs are more common (see Prisonbreak, Lost, et cetera). However, crime dramas still follow the old style (for example CSI and its spinoffs).

My vote goes for a mixture between the two. If you remember Star Trek Enterprise, the third season was like that: one common mainstream to follow with its mysteries unfold from episode to episode but every episode is a single mostly independent story. I think this would be well-suited for the new Knight Rider series.

What do you think?

I don't think there are enough cast members for that type of format. Star trek shows have more people in them.

Good question. I think it may start off with a story arc, but then turn into independent episodes later on, with the occasional arc just like the original series. Only difference this time, I think, is that I suspect there will be a few more/longer story arcs.

I think more of a CSI-24 approach is the way to go....

Lol, good one. Always stay towards the original and you shouldn't go wrong, just have to make sure they do it for this day and age.
