END OF ROAD for "Knight Rider"

END OF ROAD FOR 'RIDER'

Quote:
The decision was part of a flurry of NBC scheduling announcements made Wednesday, including an early season-finale date for "Knight Rider." The action drama will conclude February 25, with the show halting production after 17 episodes. The network has said it plans to overhaul the show, with format changes still to air in the coming weeks, but the episode cutback suggests there is little expectation that a revamp will reverse the Wednesday night drama's ratings decline.

Knight Rider was planning on making the show "reboot" in order to make it more like the original. This would be better for more heritage fans. Maybe even turning KITT into a WS-6.

Might even bring some new people in. I watch it anyways and will till the end. =)

Try the same thing with this pair's predecessors of 1970 or so and you'll find yourself in a bit of a wrestling match. Ain't progress wonderful? Maybe yes, and maybe sometimes it's fun to wrestle."

You know, they run the original series on Sleuth now.

Pretty freaky. 3rd gen Trans Am. I had just bought my new 3rd gen Z28 Camaro.

They drove the car from the backseat when KITT was "driving himself".

The driver looked through the headreast opening and had a black drape over his body in the back seat. Check it out sometime...

Might've lasted if they hadn't picked a fricken Mustang.
I would've even gone with the rumor of them using a Koenigsigg versus a Mustang!

A total slap in the face!

That's like saying, "Hey, we're gonna bring back Airwolf, but we've decided to go with an Osprey instead of Bell-206 Chopper. Deal...!"

Yeah,the Mustang was the problem C'mon the Mustang was the only reason to watch that show. A show with bad actors,bad stories that starred a black car that sounded like a gay man based on a old show with bad actors,bad stories and a black car that talked like a gay man........how could it fail???? Seriously,C-3PO's voice sounds like a bad-ass compared to Kitt's. Rest in peace and good riddance.
