Sadly to say, the 2008 series is over. What we can hopefully look forward to is the feature film that I pray will happen in 2012 or sooner. :kitt: :good:

While I am saddened NBC won't give it another chance, There is always the possibility of SYFY, USA, or Syndication could pick it up-It worked for Baywatch!!! :kitt: :D :D :D

That's where NBC fails also. No balls to say it's canceled when they knew they ruined it with a poor director and poor promotion. But very few series have skipped a year and KR08 was on by this time last year. But I'm sure KR isn't completely dead as a series might just have to wait another 10 years for it :). The interest for KITT is out there if they can just avoid a ricey powered director and not bring it out on an election year followed by a recession :roll:

By Director you mean showrunner/Executive Producer GST. And it's THIS incarnation of KR...It's not like Doctor Who, with 13 regenerations...although, if you were to liken KR to DW, then we've only got 8 to go... :)

I am saddened as welll that NBC doesn't have the guts to stick with a show, and instead go with steaming crud like Trauma(blech), Mercy(even worse blech), and the worst show of the year, the Jay Leno show. But, maybe someday, whether it be Syndication of SYFY, USA Network, or some other network, maybe somebody will give it another shot. :kitt: :karr: :D :)

I still refuse to believe that the series has been cancelled and I'm still confident it will be back sooner rather than later.

the fact that its been sold around the world and has been getting massive ratings around the world proves that it is making money for the makers.

If the english show "Primeval", which costs £1 million a show to make can come back from the dead after being cancelled, then i'm sure Knight Rider, which has far more fans around the world can surely do the same.

Its not as though KR has not got any fans, quite the contrary, the new KR 08 has been wildly popular both in the UK, and in Europe, Asia.

Just on International sales of the series, I see no justification why the series is cancelled.
I believe it will come back.

maybe with less cast, and more of Justin and KITT.

Because this new KR had even less of a plot and the characters are very shallow and some of a finest actors are wasted in this thing, even the car was terrible, I'm sorry but this franchise went downhill after the original and I Was not saddened that this new knight rider was cancelled, it was just terrible and I Hope this big screen version can undue the mistakes that the KR2000, KR2010, TKR and this one have done.

KR 2008 is no better than today's NBC Crap.

NBC has gone downhill and it's going out of business.

The main problem, quite frankly, is that NBC, along with CBS, ABC, and FOX, don't operate like other networks around the world. The show is given it's chance, and if there's something to be done with it, they do it before the towel is thrown in. If the show is big enough, ala LOST, then they can put the show away for a longer period. But in this case, they've never done what you are asking for. A previously cancelled show may go to another network, however, Knight Rider is owned lock stock and barrel by NBC Universal. The best chance we had is if it would have gone to SyFy.

The BBC has given a longer production time to its productions, with less amount of total shows, so that the end result is more polished, and the time period between series/seasons is longer. Now, HBO plays more like the BBC, ie The Sorpranos; the period between June 6, 2004 and March 12, 2006, 21 months in between seasons 5 and 6...but please put that into context...there was like over 9 million people watching that show, compared to our 2.3 or less, and that was at the end of it's popularity.

No offense, but comparing Primeval to Knight Rider is like a banana compared to a rotted apple, in this case. The currently shown numbers simply won't support it. I tried to find the European numbers, but there's not a lot to show. If someone can show NBC that there's 10 million people worldwide who want KR back, then by all means, I think they would have...

The answer to a second season at this point is a resounding NO! All the cast at this point in time have moved on long since to other projects, films, TV shows etc. The best we can ever hope for if it picks up enough interest is a made for TV movie on SYFY at least 2 years or so from now but that's it. The show won't be coming back that is an absolute certainty.

The main petition is a hundred and so less than 28000:

There was never an official cancellation given by NBC.

Exactuly! There wasnt a statement saying: "knight rider is cancelled" the only thing NBC said was it wouldn't be shown on 2009/2010 time.

I still like my theory, that nbc have given knight rider a year break, so in a year the show will be getting more and more popular in Amercia and around the globe too, then more people are interested in the show coming back, espically since Knight rider was a big hit in other countries, like Germany.

Until NBC specifically say: knight rider is cancelled, then in my opionion, it hasnt! lol.

Are you also waiting for more episodes of Bionic Woman as well? I'm actually hoping that there's more Defying Gravity...but i know it's not coming back.

I think you need to look at the facts. If there was to be a KR 10, it's not going to be a direct traditional 2nd season. You'd see a completely different show, as all of the staff are no longer one unit.

think of it this way...is Caprica season 5 of BSG? in your train of thought, it is...

one could almost argue with this thinking that TNG was on the air for 18 years...

end of line

I think the first season on the television series Knight Rider was canceled in 2008, because we are coming up later in the year 2009, and then when you arrive on January 1, 2010...you Knight Rider fans have to do all things to save the new second season in the television series Knight Rider 2010!
