knight rider runs out of gas

Found an interesting article pop up on my google news feed. The writer discusses the plot he wrote for voodoo knight.

I saw it too. Big Steaming Load-Knight Rider did NOT Run out of Gas. Sitcoms were Becoming More Popular. However, If Glen A. Larson had thought about it, He could have taken Knight Rider to Syndication and do First-Run Episodes that Way.

What interested me most about the article it said that the series finale didn't have anyone killed off but was a ridiculous plot. We all know scent of roses was the final episode but the order they were aired in wasn't the right order.

Too funny! I thought that you meant that Kitt ran out of gas literally.

I found it funny how they said no one important to the cast died. Ludicrous plotline for a series finale. If only they knew it wasn't meant to be the series finale but the episodes of voodoo knight and scent of roses were out of order. To me, scent of roses will always be the series finale. Michael never moved on so easily after the death of Stevie to killer kitt or find another lady of the week after her and he never remarried or found another woman after her either when you view knight rider 2000.

I agree. Scent is definitely the series finale we all wanted. It leaves a nice opening for futures series and possible movies. I still am pretty shocked that they would have a hard time finding more ideas to continue the series.

I don't blame NBC for running these episodes out of sync. After all, it was a power play to bring back the audience with a strong episode. To think just how many more seasons could have been, had the episode regained the interest of the masses.

But then, television is kind of weird. After all, I still remember how in Sledge Hammer, their power play was to simply blow up their world. ABC paid the high price to see how they resolved that cliff hanger, as it did seem nearly impossible to do. Season two happened. And with the lowest paid resolve in history. CG generated words on a black screen. Something like "FIVE YEARS EARLIER..."
