Knight Rider (2008) - It's a shame, NBC

Okay, so the show only started to get better mid-way in. Still, it showed promised and had room for a lot of improvement.
What I still don't understand is this. Yes, the shows ratings may have been low enough for NBC to cancel on the network. However, this show is EASILY syndicated.
VIPER was a failed NBC show as well, but it was later picked up and syndicated, going for four seasons. And of course, let's not forget that NBC also cancelled Baywatch after the first season, and again, the show was syndicated and went world wide, becoming the #1 show on the planet for a while there and lasting... *ahem*... 11 seasons!!!
I'm a huge KR fan, but speaking as an outside observer, yes, ratings weren't enough for the NBC network. It's logical and I can easily accept that. However, a real opportunity was lost for syndication. It's a real shame.
