Dear Ms. Bromst
Hello Ms. Bromst, my name is Matt, I am a fan of the new series Knight Rider which airs on your network.
I have been debating about writing a letter to you or NBC in general about the series, because apart of me feels that you or a secretary will read it and throw it in the trash and not care what a fan has to say and not mention it to anyone. I read a report according to Yahoo News it mentions NBC: “The network executive's enthusiasm doesn't extend to the new sitcom "Kath & Kim" and "Knight Rider." The two shows were "fair tries" but aren't holding up in the ratings, she said. She called them "indicative of shows that may or may not be coming back." I read the ratings from Nielson, but I don’t understand how it works, because not everyone has a ratings box. During the 8pm EST hour, Knight Rider has major competition, with FOX show Bones, American Idol and ABC show Lost. Also those shows been on for many seasons so it has their fan base, but this is Knight Rider first season. I feel maybe if Knight Rider was on a different night or a different hour, I think it could succeed in the ratings.
If you or NBC were expecting Knight Rider to have high ratings due to its original tie of the 1980’s version of Knight Rider, you are right and wrong at the same time. However this version of Knight Rider is reaching to a whole new generation of Knight Rider fans that never heard or seen the original series. Recently on the “Knight Writers” blog about the pervious episode “Knight to King’s Pawn” someone asked “Who is Wilton Knight” and “What is special about KARR.” It proves that there is a new generation of fans. According to the ratings at the beginning of season it has high ratings then after the “Obama commercial” thing, ratings dropped to what they are now. However the bright thing you have to look at it stays steady in its ratings position. Also I read somewhere that Knight Rider is 8th overall in DVR ratings or something like that, so that has to be good right? Also you have to factor in that the 4-6 million with ratings boxes they aren’t the only ones watching the show, you have the people in other countries, people without the ratings boxes and also the people that watch it online or from their DVR.
If NBC or you get a lot of mail that says something like “Knight Rider must be stop now, its ruining the legacy of Knight Rider” and so on, those people, in my opinion, want it to be 1982 again and have David Hasselhoff and KITT with the voice of William Daniels back on NBC, with KITT being a Trans/Am again. However I love the new KITT as the Shelby GT500KR, it’s a beautiful car. The “Haters/nitpickers” will always find something to complain about this new series, because like I said before they want it to be like the original series.
Knight Rider episodes have been getting better and better since episode 10 with the transition into the “Reboot/Retool” of Knight Rider that will occur. If any of you go onto NBC Knight Rider Board, or KnightRideronline.com you have a lot of support for the show. Though with the recent episode that had KARR, was a good episode from start to finish, but the fight scene was kind of a let down to me because I was hoping maybe a longer fight, but MasterKeyFilms did an awesome job on the fight. I also understand that the budget might of have been trimmed down since NBC removal of the further production of episodes of 18-22. People might be in an outrage because they wanted a back story like if this KARR is the same as KARR from the original series, like in Season 3 of Knight Rider episode “KITT vs KARR”, they have their battle but then the camera rolls over KARR parts and shows his CPU is still blinking.
Some people are complaining about the transformation and say its “Transformers” just with the Knight Rider title listed. However I do not mind the transformation because not in the episodes they don’t transform every single minute.
I have been “updating” about Knight Rider on TeamShelby.com/Forums, and recently I had a poll about if they “Like or Dislike” Knight Rider the people that participated in the poll about more than 75% of them said they liked the show, because of the Shelby GT500KR plus its fun to watch.
The one thing I don’t like about Knight Rider, but its just a minor thing, is the updated version of the Attack Mode compared to the Pilot Movie Attack Mode.
PILOT ATTACK MODE SERIES ATTACK MODE
~~~~~~PICS OF THE CARS GO HERE~~~~
The Pilot Attack Mode was simple and looks like a stealth GT500KR, however the Series Attack Mode, looks like half “ricer”, half dragster. If Gary Scott Thompson (GST) and NBC wanted to keep the Series Attack Mode for a potential second season, I would like a different hood, without the air intake, or if no-one changes that, at least change the rims to the ones like on the Pilot Attack Mode, because I think its looks stupid with the front rim is bigger than the rear rim.
I believe GST is trying to make the best possible Knight Rider TV show with all the resources that has been given to him. If the money isn’t there GST can’t make a better Knight Rider to draw in more viewers and possible make the ratings go up. However, NBC lack of commercials for the show hasn’t been great, how are you going to expect to get more viewers if you don’t promote the show? Why can’t Deanna Russo or Justin Bruening to make an appearance on your networks Talk shows like Jay Leno or Conan O’brien?
I understand Knight Rider wouldn’t pick up right from the original series because it has been 25 years. With the recent episode “Knight to King’s Pawn” it was great to have a reference to Wilton Knight and FLAG: Foundation for Life and Government. I really want to see Knight Rider to make a return to NBC next fall, if not NBC maybe switch it over to one of your cable channels, like the USA Network.
I don’t watch many programs on your network, except for Knight Rider, The Office, or occasionally Tonight Show with Jay Leno. However I don’t much TV in general except for a NBA or College Basketball game. Some shows 1st seasons aren’t the greatest, for instance, I thought The Office was pretty stupid, but it started getting better with the second season, and look how great the show has become.
To me Knight Rider was made for me to relax on the couch and enjoy an hour on Wednesday nights. Please don’t take that away from me and other millions of people that watch the show. I don’t care if the show is “unrealistic” it’s a fun show to enjoy. However the girls in bikini’s or other sexual reference could be tone down so we can have more real driving scenes for KITT.
This show has been the greatest continuation of Knight Rider since the 1980’s. Team Knight Rider, Knight Rider 2000, and Knight Rider 2010 are no match compared to this new series.
In the original series, Wilton Knight said “One man can make a difference” but in your case “One woman can make a difference.” Please don’t take Knight Rider away from us. Please consider a second season; I think it could be great if GST and NBC could make an excellent second season.
Thank you for your time and reading this, hope you take your time determine the future of Knight Rider.
thank you
