their schedual just ends october 31, not mentioning if knight rider is going to be back, and on their MB, i think it was one of the scifi people saying they will no longet air it as of oct 31

i dont know if the schedual is always like that, or if what i think is going on :cry:

Well, I wouldn't go by that, they are only two months ahead on any series on their schedual bot. Just search any other series like "Stargate" and you'll see the same.

However, the month does end on the last episode..

But they usually wait until Janurary to redo there schedual, if not right now, which it is currently still airing.

Man, it would be just like them to cancel Knight Rider.

Then they'll replace it with some crappy series (usually about aliens with latex heads) that was originally cancelled after six weeks.

Well lets wait until SCI-FI updates till November (which wont be another month) before we pack the kids in the family truckster and move to Texas. No need to do that if you don't have too. Cause as it stands right now, there is no proof that Knight Rider is canceled on SCI-Fi.

I agree with Neil we should wait and see. Logic dictates to me anyway that if it was really ending then it probably wouldn't be brought back on the 31 after being off all month they would most likely go with whatever was replacing it.

Its probably taken off only for the marathon. What I was disappointed about was that there was no Knight Rider marathon.

I think it is a bit premature to think that they are going to cancel KR, as March has stated. October is marathon month for them, and because the schedule goes until the end of October and won't pick up November until October, that doesn't really give a whole lot of proof that Sci-Fi is cancelling KR. Wait, see, and don't get an ulcer. :)

i hope they dont cancel knight rider on sci fi. i loev watching the show. i am always wondering though, in the episodes where vehicles explode, they do great on the special effects with it, but how do the actors get out of the vehicles. did they always stop tape to have the actors get out then proceed with the scene, such as the trucking episode where the truck lost its brakes and went over and exploded and the knight of the juggernaut with the battering ram.

I just wish I could get the Sci-Fi channel up here. All we get is the Canadian version called Space, which plays the crappiest Sci-Fi shows of all time. Man do I hate that show Andromeda and if I have to watch one more rerun of the Highlander I think I will screem.

bravo plays knight rider?? i only watch that station for the gay stuff. (yes, literally.) like queer eye for the straight eye, and boy meets boy, which satisfies my belief that all gay guys are hot.

That would be Bravo UK that plays KR, not our Bravo US.

hey, you live in america, aren't you forgetting that you watch it on SCI-FI?

don't be jealous for people on the other side of the 'pond' unless its for something good, like Chocolate flakes or Smarties, and public TV with curses.

KDOC will sustain me, uless they drop KR again. Watching it now. The one with the street racers. Unfortunately, I keep forgetting to catch it on Scifi. I find myself having to be in a mood to watch KR now. I can't watch it all the time like I used to, so, the weekly showing that KDOC is doing is perfect for me. Every Saturday. I don't get tired of it.

But it's true. Scifi would definitely drop KR. They dropped RoboCop the Series in heartbeat. I still hate them for that. They're, in fact, the anti-scifi channel. Up till recently, Star Trek, and about 4 other shows were scifi. The rest was crap.

Sci-Fi has made 2 complete runs of KR, which is pretty good, don't know of any other networks in the US that have went over that amount in syndication...?

Almost all of them did it three and four times, at least, but for the most part, Sci-Fi has done a pretty darn good job of showing them. At least they haven't done what many syndication stations have done: cut the episodes even more to compensate for some other program they wanted to stick in.
