Post by neps » Mon Jan 26, 2009 2:36 pm

Solid Snake comes through with this letter. Has a bit of a global feel and mentions the other media they should take into account

This one still has color images at the bottom. That will print horribly on my printer. >_<

Great letter, although I don't think they will like the reference about people outside the US watching the show through the internet? They might think about people watching the show through those "illegal" means....

... which, unfortunately, I am one of them :( ....

And that might bring forward a negative view about the KR fans on the internet. Specifically, I don't want them to generalize KR internet fans = pirates. Honestly, if I can even subscribe to a pay box just to watch Knight Rider on my TV, I will do so. Unfortunately, we do not have that privilege over here.

On the other hand, if NBC is quick on their thinking, maybe they'll air the show outside the US quickly after they notice how much fanbase KR has outside the US. That way they gain more viewers and also at the same time clamp the Internet piracy. Two birds with one stone.

I for one totally agree with all the above comments. I too obtain this show through dubious means.

The problem with highlighting all the internet watchers, and the DVR recordings that are going on, NBC and the like probably don't really care about these numbers. Their only real interest is how many people watch the ads during the show. The more people watching the ads, the higher the advertisers will pay for their 30s spot during Knight Rider. Unfortunately, telling NBC that a million viewers are skipping ads - probably won't do any justice to our cause.
(BTW, I hope I'm totally wrong about this)
But, for the international users, we can only hope to boost NBC's confidence in selling this show overseas by showing our numbers.

Personally, I think you guys (in the US) need to go down to your Ford dealership and ask to see a "Knight Rider Mustang"... If you can get ford to tell NBC how popular this car is, that may help.

It just frustrating to be a nobody without a Nielson box, so all we can do is post a letter that NBC may not even read.

The internet notion was put in deliberately as this indicates how many people actually are interested in the series that do not live in the US, viewing over the internet is not illegal... nobody mentions downloading... NBC even hosts the episodes online. If one would use proxies (which is perfectly legal) one could stream the episodes. Besides... who is at fault here? The fans wanting to see the episodes? Or NBC not selling them overseas?

But naturally if desired I can take out the internet notion.

The letter has been updated with a slightly altered notion. All that remains for me now is to say SEND SEND SEND!!!

Download it at the 2 links above, one colour one BW.

Lets do this people! Lets save the series :good: :twisted: !

This is better and the words ring true.
I simply CAN NOT WAIT to see Knight Rider being aired in my country.

I would like to write but in my own words. Is there a thread where I can get a *blank* color letterhead that maybe at the bottom says "member of Knight Rider Online Community" and Knight Rider on top, and a list of persons to write to?
