If they hadn't wasted so much money on the giant sound stage or the excessive cast members -- they would have had a lot more money for car chases and TOS style stunts. Instead -- we got a ton of green screening.... and actors staring at computers for the whole time-episodes. So yeah -- KR08 was prob...

Yes -- a jump vehicle is a specially built car for small jumps. The original Knight Rider series used a dune buggy with a fiberglass Trans Am shell over it -- it was the stunt car that had the flat panel underneath that could be seen during jumps. Hardcastle and McCormick had a similar dune buggy th...

That's not entirely true. Medium was pulling in those kind of ratings (1 million or 2 more than Knight Rider) -- and they still cancelled it. CBS noticed what a boneheaded decision that was -- and bought the show the very next day. My Name Is Earl also averaged those type of ratings -- plus, critica...

KITT For the win

I guess this may be a complicated concept.

But they were both named KITT.

Viper got picked up in syndication because it OWNED in Europe (especially in Germany).

I bet the new KR does well in Germany, too.

NBC is being run into the ground..... http://www.imdb.com/news/ni0803488/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; The network is now drawing the lowest ratings since the introduction of the television :) NBC's highest rated show (Law & Order: SVU) this week -- drew roughly the s...

I don't think Deanna used the "bad" word enough.

She should stop holding back.

Yes.... The Pilot Movie was good to great..... Then GST absolutely destroyed it. Turned it into a lame Mission Impossible clone with way too many characters and hired awful writers. He made the car look ridiculous (attack mode) -- with morphing that defied logic.... How can a 3300 lb. Mustang change...

Sorry, Joe. Regardless of the car's history after KR2000: The pilot (AKA Tasmanian Devil). That was one of the original stunt vehicles on Hardcastle. A friend of mine who worked in the props department for KR2000 in Texas confirmed that was the intended/ unfinished "jump vehicle" for the K...

This was going to be a stunt car that was to be built for Knight Rider 2000. Unfortunately, the car builders had so much trouble with their other cars -- this one never got completed. This particular car was intended for small jumps and drifting. The beauty car was behind schedule -- so they concent...

Yes, Kings was officially canceled after episode #4.

Kings....

Has already been canceled.

Not a shock. It scored dismal ratings and costs way too much per episode.
Knight Rider is cheaper to produce and got better ratings.

Yes this list is totally inaccurate. He's also showing Top Gear US as a new NBC show. He even listed a time on Fridays -- the show never got past the unsold pilot. Its TOTAL B.S. It was confirmed before he made this post that Top Gear caught the axe. http://www.tvsquad.com/2008/12/20/nbc-kills-top-g...

Hello I was wondering I live in Florida and I know there are lout of fans on the east coast of the USA. Why don't they ever have festivals,fairs,shows,comic cons,and etc.. over here . To me i don't think its fair that we have to fly or drive all they way over their for stuff they should think of ot...

I don't think the budget was the problem. I think its just that they tried to have too many cars/vehicles in the show -- which spread the budget too thin. I mean they had 4 to 6 main cars depending on how you count: 1)Mustang 2)Expedition 3)F-150 4)2 Motorcycles 5)The Combo car Plus, they switched t...

With all do respect. Your festival ain't going to factor into NBC's decision to renew the current show in any way, shape or form. It just sounds like a ploy to sell more tickets to your festival. The real way to have your voice heard or save the show.... Is to write a letter to NBC . A stamped lette...

Alex Nunez has been bashing the new Knight Rider on the Autoblog site since the show debuted. So, I got tired of it -- and finally stood up for the show (my username is BadBoy on that site). http://www.autoblog.com/2009/01/28/knight-rider-the-liveblog-season-1-episode-13/3#c16810572 This guy just wo...

If you ever drop the term in public -- and a dude tries to squeeze your rear and flirt, you'll know why. I wouldn't be surprised if people assume that what you are organizing is more than a car get-together -- if you know what I mean. Umm.... dood this could get uncomfortable for others, I see wher...

Hey bro...What are you 12 years old and a homophobe? "Southern Nights" was also a song by Glen Campbell in the late 70s. Who cares? I'm a happily married man. The SOUTHERN KNIGHTS is a KR conversion get together that I put on in the Atlanta area. Thus the name SOUTHERN KNIGHTS . I persona...

Scroll down on that same page, guys.

Knight Rider ranks at #4 overall for Greatest % Of DVR Viewing for Broadcast TV Shows....
That is an absolutely huge number!

I'm sorry, but after seeing last nights episode with KARR, the only humane thing to do would be to PULL THE PLUG . Mark Puette SOUTHERN KNIGHTS Hey bro... You may want to rethink that signature. You may not be aware of this -- but, "Southern Nights" is a really big chain of Gay Bars in th...

Well, KR08 just became Viper Season 1 last night. Viper Season 1: The team stole the car from the government. The driver found a ton of money (in a safety deposit box) so they could operate as vigilantes. They spent the entire season fighting the villain portrayed by http://www.imdb.com/name/nm01214...

The Smallville analogy doesn't work for KR. Smallville was warmly accepted by Superman fans. KR 2008 was almost universally bashed at introduction by most KR fans. The reception was so harsh for KR 2008 -- Glen will never get the money to finance his project. If the economy was better, he'd might ha...

Well, I was searching for a good deal on the Knight Rider box set on Amazon -- and I discovered this: http://www.amazon.com/KnightCon-97-First-Knight-Convention/dp/B001PIHP6I/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=dvd&qid=1232300657&sr=8-1 Its the KnightCon '97. I was going to go to this thing -- but I wa...

Someone pointed this out on the boards a long time ago, I think, but the shot still belongs in this thread. If you look closely at the yellow button on the switch pod in "Redemption Of a Champion," you can see that it reads "R.C.'s": http://i175.photobucket.com/albums/w134/tyrks...
