Knight Rider cancelled???

^ OT: Isn't it Criss Angel?

Yep...was just about to correct that.

Anyway, I was also about to make that a link as well.

Criss Angel he isn't.

I'm not a fan of the new Knight Rider series, but for the sake of those who do enjoy it, I hope it is renewed.

I would've said the same thing, but after watching it slide downhill week after week, I think it should be canceled so they can make room for a show that might actually deserve the space.

I was a big fan of the original series, and really wanted to like this one. But I just don't buy any of it, from the juvenile behavior of the leads to the fact that every week Mike runs into ex-military types. The original show was a guilty pleasure and his relationships with women and villains were two dimensional, but at least Mike was written as an adult and they mixed up the villains a little bit more.

And the humor was actually funny, IMO.

I didn't bother to watch more than half of the last episode, at which point I couldn't stand it any more and deleted the series from my DVR. I wouldn't be sad to see it go, I'd just look forward to giving whatever replaced it a chance.

I tried with this show, as I did with Bionic Woman last year. NBC just can't get remakes, or updates, right...

The thing about KR08 is that there are just too many characters. It would work best if it was Sarah, Charles, Mike, and Carrie as a liaison to the government. I would also like to see Mike working behind the scenes to see find out what happened with FLAG, his father, and the original KITT. They could also do without every episode involving an old buddy or nemesis from Mike's black ops days.

Agreed on the cast. It really didn't need to be expanded. I could see Charles and Sarah fulfilling much of the technical roles that Zoe and Billy serve (but not the comedic ones of course).

As for FLAG and so on, Gary Scott Thompson has stated by episode 13 we will know that FLAG has "not been forgotten" and it kind of makes me wonder if it ties into the character supposedly returning by ep 12.

Spoiler: The returning character

The returning character is episode 12 is the Knight Automated Roving Robot aka KARR.

^ And I for one am looking forward to it.

Maybe they can bring back that precocious kid Buddy from the premiere of the original series -- all grown up, and another of neo-Michael's black ops buddies.

Zoe and Billy add absolutely nothing to the show except for idiotic 20-something feeble comic foil. If this were Voyager, I'd do a Captain Janeway and shove them both out of an airlock.[/quote]


Don't you mean if this was Battlestar Galactica, you do a President Rosalyn and shove them out of an airlock?

I don't recall Janeway ever shoving anyone out of the airlock.

Maybe he's thinking of "Scorpion, Part II" when Chuckles sends all of Seven's Borg buddies out the airlock while Janeway is comatose.
