Unfortunately in todays market.... Yes.Does a show really have to be no.1 to get a second season?
The writings on the wall. NBC is behaving contrary to what you'd expect them to do if they had faith in the show. They reduced the episode order. They aren't advertising the KARR episode. They are making statements that KR may or may not be coming back. These aren't things that a network does for a show that is likely to be renewed. I repeat these aren't things that a network does for a show that is likely to be renewed. Heroes immediately comes to mind. During the first season they hyped the crap out of the show's return from hiatus in January. Prison Break is another show that comes to mind. Fox aired a special presentation called "Prison Break: behind the walls" after only 7 episodes in its first season. NBC has aired no KR special and have barely advertised KR's return in January and I've seen nothing on KARR other than the standard upcoming week teaser. You're in denial if you can't see the writing on the wall. For all intents and purposes KR is toast. Just enjoy the remaining episodes.Skav wrote:If NBC cancels the show then that would be dumb considering 3rd place is actually excellent for a show of KR's calibre.

It is not bombing by any means!

That's key. If NBC isn't providing any commercials for it, not even during NFL playoffs, it appears that they have no intentions of putting any further effort/money into the show. Also KNOW THIS: There are so many people out there who say, "I DIDN'T EVEN KNOW THAT SHOW WAS STILL ON, I THOUGHT IT WAS CANCELED MONTHS AGO!" I hear it all the time from many many different peoplethey are not making any real effort to promote the show on their own network. I think that really speaks volumes about the situation

In that case, why make the show to begin with? If I recall correctly, TOS only ever went to no.1 once, beating Dallas. I might be wrong about that though.DevonStyles wrote:Unfortunately in todays market.... Yes.Does a show really have to be no.1 to get a second season?
Especially figuring in the COST to make the show and the other things associated with it. 3rd place although good is not good enough. To quote the old sports saying, "nobody remembers who won 2nd place".
I agree with you, I am not in denial about the possibility of it's cancellation. I told all my personal friends about it's possibly cancellation and know it doesn't look good.Mr.Marcus wrote:The writings on the wall.

Not really since it was a rerun that's apparently been shown twice before. The only thing that's likely to save Knight Rider would be a big boost in the ratings but something like, say getting back to 7M viewers which would be a boost in the 18-34/49 demos. But of course with NBC doing ZERO promotion, that's probably not going to happen.Drawing/beating Lost does speak volumes though. That it can compete with shows that have been on the air for a very long time and that is a great achievement.
NBC is basically asking for KR to get cancelled! And people are asking for "reality".CSI sure does have a lot of that stuff.As if real life crime labs have everything in a database, and solve a case in a very short time.That's definitely real.And also reality shows are VERY real too!NOT!Some of that stuff is scripted.And if NBC cancels KR, they get rid of the ONLY REASON I watch NBC, because I rarely get time to watch TV, and I squeeze time out of my day on Wednesdays to watch KR.PHOENIXZERO wrote:NBC basically is setting the show up for failure with not putting anything behind it.
