Ive really started to get into the new Knight Rider and have watch all the epsiodes! Does Knight Rider have a chance to see another year? If NBC does cxld the show It would be perfect show for either the SCI-FI channel or even the USA network. I really hope it makes it!! Anyone have inside info on what NBC is thinking?

Yea but NBC owns the rights to KR and if Sci-Fi or USA mentioned about the old's KR couldnt NBC sue the other networks?

Sci-Fi and USA are owned by NBC. Universal HD is also owned by NBC. If NBC is not happy with the ratings but want to give the reboot a fair shot on a different channel, I think all three would be viable options. Universal is the least likely channel because they use to reshow old shows that were on NBC or USA in HD.

I'm surprised to hear about the lack of advertising. Considering the cost of this show and the fact that NBC was giving two showings per week, plus the on-line, on demand webcast made it seem to me like NBC was really backing the show.
