Wow, i really wish it wasn’t cancelled, i was just about ready to gear up and be a fan, i mean, this definately had more muscle than the other Knight Rider Episodes, i can’t believe it got canned so instantly when there are plenty of other yawners out there that got second chances, i mean, it wasn’t THAT bad if you say so. To me it was actually awesome, it was good to see that i could rewatch KR but with better graphics and more action sequences.

Knight Rider jumped the shark on its first regular episode when they tried to turn KITT into a morphing Transformer. Bad idea. The original show had a believeable premise. The pilot for the current show did as well. But turning KITT into a terrorist fighting Transformer was a deal killer for a great many fans.

Based upon this article the producers clearly saw this as well and tried to return the show back to its roots, but it was too late. Many loyal fans had tuned out for good. I do, however, think the premise of a made for TV movie would be successful IF the producers and writers keep the show on track.

Knight Rider, the series of my childhood dreams! KR 2000 was thin, except for David Hasselhoff. Then KR 2008 came along, I was really really glad to say the least. AND the new KITT was one of my fav. cars, it had a really good start, lost morale somewhere along the middle, but it had real potential given a few tweaks. NBC , you people have shattered a few million hopes all over the world. I live in an Asian country, and there is a Huge KR following here. Shame on you NBC> See the poll results!

Who was the IDIOT that cancled the new knight rider when the Hasselhoff series ran so long with no where near the thrills compaired to the new one?!? I will agree changing into the pickup was pushing it but over all it was better in every way to the original, Except for knight rider 2000 movie. and the spin off Knight Rider 2010.

for real this is an awsome show! why they canceled it idk maybe becouse NBC is stupid or maybe becouse there so impatient like the rest of the tv companies out there if the had spent more money on production and advertising of the show and less on looking at reviews and ratings then they would of had a load more viewers instead they cancelled…… yeah go ahead NBC put your tail between your legs and run just like you always do!!!! money isent everything i really wanted to see Mike and Sarah get toghter everyone knew it was gonna happen instead of cancelling yall should of wondered around on that idea good luck NBC your gonna need it. im truly upset with how this went!!!

aw what? only just seen the first episode in the UK and its already been cancelled? that just sucks, theres too many decent shows getting binned for no reason. We just get into watching something and it gets finished. Watched about 30 episodes of Invasion for it to finish on a cliffhanger and get cancelled. Reaper has been cancelled and we loved that, now this. Pointless watching any more episodes then really.

If its not some stupid losers stuck in a house together for several weeks, or some random woman whos had a baby with some random bloke and he’s an alcoholic and blah blah blah then its not good tv and no-one will watch it. Load of tosh, too much rubbish on tv and not enough long term programming. Can’t just give things 1 season to see if its worthy, need 2 or 3 for sure.

Getting sik of watching USA tv programs on UK tv now, they’ll only be cancelled before the season finishes anyway so whats the point.

I’ll agree the series needed some tweaking that they had started to do at the end of the first season. I just can’t believe that crap like the office is still running, while halfway decent shows like knight rider and bionic woman get cancelled after one season. Being a 10 month old post I’m hoping things have changed, but won’t be surprised if it hasn’t. Very close to canceling cable since I end up spending less and less time watching tv.

It’s sad how a show has to be an instant ratings magnet or it gets canned, instead of someone at the network actually appreciating the quality and potential of the show and realizing that better advertising and better time slot is the answer, not canceling it. Broadcast the new Knight Rider on Friday night just like its 1980’s predecessor and I’m sure it can be a hit series. There are also many more millions of 80’s Knight Rider fans which I’m sure NBC is not reaching and a little more marketing could pay off hugely.

It was my dream – the new KR!!! I was waiting for it since 98th… But now they gave just 1 season and thats all? hey!!! people from NBC!!! You are crashing the dreams of people!!! We need KR!!! It’s a great show!!

I love the show . I thought that KARR looked cool in Knight To King’s Pawn. It would be nice to see the show come back on . I was looking forward to see if they would do a episode with Goliath after seeing KARR

I was so damn heart broken to realize that the show I loved so much and looked forward to seeing every chance I could, was Cancelled. WTF? I am so sick and tired of NETWORK EXECS thinking they know what i want to see! Well they dont because if they did I would be watching my Knight Rider save the day. The show of my childhood was brought back for what was merely a second compared to the original if these folks today were around back then in the 80’s I wouldnt even have my memories of the original Kitt to keep me from being disgusted with NBC (Nothing but *****) the stupid “Office” loving idiots……. I work in a office and it is nothing I want to watch on freaking TV when I come home from my office. So NBC Execs GET A FUKING CLUE AND BRING BACK KNIGHT RIDER

Bring the show back and give it a chance. The tech behind the show was great and the cast had great chemistry. A true Knight Rider fan will catch up, trust me. it’s a fun show to watch.

I am with all of the above on this one. This revival was one i went into very dubiously, given the fact that the original holds great sentimentality in my TV viewing history. As a child it was one of the shows that i was there every episode for, eagerly sat in front of the TV, waiting for it to start & i still, at 30 yrs old i watch any re runs that are on of the man Hoff & his more than faithful sidekick! So when i watched the pilot movie for this, i sat, to be honest not expecting too much from it, i mean, how can you top the Hoff as Michael Knight??? But boy, did this work, in fact, it rocked! I was very surprised & soon settled in to getting to know the new team & there history, which again, was really well thought out. Hats off to everyone involved, cast & crew, no one more so than a certain new boy, Mr Justin Bruening & his even newer Ford Shelby Cobra GT500, who together, took on a massive task, filling those boots & they carry it off, VERY convincingly! I am VERY impressed with the whole thing & thats coming from a massive fan of the old era. Every episode i could feel myself getting sucked back into the world of Knight Industries, the flag revival & more importantly, my childhood. I dont watch TV much at all, but this show would definately have me tuning back in every week!
So to NBC, i would like to say, give your heads a MASSIVE shake & give KR more of a chance, because from what ive read all over the web, this is the show that would have a lot of people hooked all over again. Something people have fond memories of & can watch with their kids, the new generation of TV viewers, the ones that are going to carry on paying your wages!!! Get this reality crap off the box, because everybody has there own reality every day of the week & dont want to watch someone elses! NBC are really going down in my estimation, first they kill off The Contender & now this, seriously, sort it out!!!

I can’t believe that NBC would cancel Knight Rider it was a great show and any time a missed on I would watch it on line the next day. I thought that it was a great show and that it was also a family type show also (witch there are not may of those left.) Maybe NBC should have thought about advertising it a little more then they did and that way more people would have heard about it and tuned in to watch….

Hi, there just wanted to say that NBC did a bad move by canceling knight rider, We are just so fed up with those ****** crap **** reality shows, we want knight rider back; something which entertain us and make us relax with the entire family and also some nostalgic moments, you didn’t even gave the show time to ‘fit in’. there are tonnes of TV shows nowadays and very few give us the joy that we use to feel when watching the TV shows in the 80’s and knight rider is one of it

Hi, I am so disappointed that you took off Knight Rider. I loved the original, and liked the new series better, especially with the changing, fast Mustang. It is shame that you put Jay Leno back on, when he retired from the tonight show. We all saw enough of him, now you put him on five nights a week. Where is you reasoning??? Does He own shares of stock in Your network?? Please bring Knight Rider back. Thanks

NBC, Havent a clue what there viewers wont to see, K.R was a great show and for a show to bring a familey togeather for 1 hour once a week was great, But NO thay have to cancle and and replace with cheap crap, NBC you going down the loo.

LONG LIVE K.R

BRING MICHAEL AND KITT BACK! This is my favorite show in the world and I have heard NO ONE say anything bad about it. I love Justin Bruening and all the cast members. I’m 15 and my little brother is 10 and both of us, along with my dad, loved watching this show. I am highly annoyed that it has been cancelled. I am very disappointed with NBC for this decision.

THIS SHOW ROCKED!! IF NBC DECIDED TO CANCEL THAT WAS BAD MOVE ON THERE PART!! IN MOST CASES THE FIRST SEASON OF ANY NEW SHOW IS THE HOOK TO GET YOU INTERESTED TO WATCH MORE!! THIS TV SERIES BEING BASED ON THE ORIGINAL WAS GREAT IDEA!! NOW NBC JUST PULLING PLUG ON IT AND PUTTING MORE REALITY SHOWS ON WAS DUMB!! KNIGHT RIDER NEW AND OLD WERE BOTH WELL DONE AND ALWAYS WILL BE AWSOME!!!!!

I am very disappointed in NBC for cancelling Knight Rider. My kids LOVED the show and the effects. They were always excited to watch the new show each week and it was something we all enjoyed. Bad move NBC! I also can’t believe you cancelled Lipstick Jungle! I loved that show and you just didn’t give it a chance. The person making your programming decisions needs to find a new job. They are not good at this one!!!!!!

Keep the show going. Don’t make a worse than “Star Trek Original series” mistake. As a family of two late 30-year-olds and two children 8 and 11, this was a great family show with just the right level of youth-safe yet still kinda sizzles for the adults sexiness between two sets of characters and very cool special effects. This is a big example of a show that helped tie together a generation gap between us. The acting is surprisingly very good for a show of this kind, we especially appreciated the quirky wit and fantastic late-nineties looks and personality of the Micheal Knight character and the rest of his entourage.

Don’t cause us to lose “kick in the turbos KITT!!”(something like that, grin) like you silenced the original “lazers on stun”.

I think that NBC is wrong on this account. I grew up watching the original KR with The Hoff! That was one HELL of a show. So, imagine my surprise that NBC was reviving the KR Series with a newer KITT (A modified 2009 Ford Shelby Mustang Cobra GT 500! I know my cars. ).

So, when I saw the KR movie, I was AMAZED that it actually looked better than the original series!!! (Espically since Val Kilmer was the new KITT) So, I was anxious for Septenber 24, 2008 to come around to see the series preimer of the new and improved Knight Rider.

Now, since I started work, I did lose track of the show, but if they were to keep the show in re-runs, (Like Star Trek) I could have easily caught up with the story line!

I am HIGHLY disappointed in NBC in their decision to pull the plug on KR only after 1 season, and decided to stay with that GOD AWFUL Reality TV CRAP!!! Who cares about Who is doing what at a certain time! We need more good programming! I’m telling you now, BRING BACK THE NEW KNIGHT RIDER!!!!!!!

Hello everyone,
Since I was very young I got used to watch science-fiction movies and TV shows, I remember watch alongside with my grand-father, somewhere in the late 1970’s the, Star trek and Battlestar Galactica, and afterwords going to bed amazed by it. Now as grown man, these TV shows, though full of flaws, are a sheer opportunity to go back to a nostalgic past, where our vivid imagination and curiousity was still unstained.
Hopefully the Knight Rider show will go on…
Best regards from Portugal!

When a new show comes out u have to give it a couple years to build a fan base. when you bring a new show out and then jerk it off the air it makse the Network look wishwashy. Give Knight Rider a chance and have it a good time at night and maybe have David Hasslehoff promote it more.
