Because it lacks all of the humor and all of the charm that the original had.

KITT was a Muscle Car, thus not, God forbid, "green enough:"
NBC, is owned by GE. Thus they are pushing the "green" theme onto everyone who watches NBC, MSNBC, CNBC, USA and SciFi, because GE will benefit from it. KITT, even though the "greenest" of cars ever on TV, even the TA, could still not hold up to the NBC's PC attitude toward this fraud called "Global Warming." Who knows it might have survived if it had been a Fusion Hybrid...perish the thought.
NBC CEO:
No matter the ratings it was doomed because she didn't like it: Maybe because it was too masculine for her tastes, even though more women than men buy Mustangs. Or maybe it was not in keeping with NBC's "green theme" crap that they advertise on all of their channels. Or she might have thought it was "comical" because of the transformations that the car did. Who knows.
GE influenced episode, Knight of the Zodiac?:
After this episode of Dr. Graiman's former fling investigating if KITT and the whole project was "green enough" for the EPA's taste could have hurt the show beyond repair, thus the reboots that were tried to revive it. Most Americans who watched the show watched it for the show and only the show, not some PC hour long infomercial about "Global warming and how big KITT's carbon footprint" is. I frankly thought this episode was not so subtle in it's message. You have to have an EPA agent to slap FLAG on the wrist because KITT was too fast and is one of the iconic American muscle cars? Please. And NBC wonders why their audience is leaving them in droves all accross the board.
If NBC and their exec's had brain one they'd bring the show back, because it was in the top 3 most Wednesday nights even up against American Idiot. That's probably the best rated show on NBC in years, since the original KITT rolled on NBC. I haven't watched the "Big 3 networks" religiously in a long time until KITT was brought back for a third try since 1986.
Before we say to hell with it and stick to rewatching the old series for the millionth time, buying two or more copies of season one on DVD in July, or reading KR fanfic. We should deluge NBC with letters and emails and petitions, but more than a couple thousand signatures, to get KITT back on TV. Don't give up! Do you think KITT and Michael would?! Remember if "One man can make a difference," how about all of us working together in a joint effort to get KITT back on TV? Because I believe that WE can make a difference!

If this show is considered too masculine, take a look at me: I'm an average American female, who just happens to love cars. But then again, most women don't care for cars, except for the fact that they just take them from Point "A" to Point "B".David Whiteheart wrote: NBC CEO:

It was just a theory of mine along with everything that I said in post, but you are right. There are not a lot of women who like cars. All of the women in my family could care less about going to a car show and make fun of how Dad and I react to a classic Mopar or any sports/Muscle car. If I see a car I like I stare at it till it passes, then the wife is like, "Why don't I get that reaction?" I'm like would you rather it be another lady instead of a car? I saw a 2010 Dodge Challenger the other day here in Shelby NC, and was drooling, thank God the wife wasn't with me. So there are two confirmed sightings of 2010 Challengers in Cleveland County, NC.Sky_Blue_Civic wrote:If this show is considered too masculine, take a look at me: I'm an average American female, who just happens to love cars.

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 into a 5500 lb. Crew Cab Pickup?
Season 1 was so bad -- it was time to put it out of its misery.
*off topic* 2010 challengers? I wanna see one of those! *bounces off the walls in excitement*David Whiteheart wrote:It was just a theory of mine along with everything that I said in post, but you are right.
