MGM/SciFi/NBCU, whatver, pulled the plug on Stargate Atlantis, yet they *renewed* the drivel that is known as Knight Rider? Okay, it's just nine episodes, but even 9 minutes more of KR is too much!

Okay, that's one sign of the impending apocalypse, I suppose...

Just goes to show...

That the networks are looking for "cheap" shows to make as much money as they possibly can. KR probably costs SciFi/NBCU 1/10th as much as Stargate Atlantis.

Hopefully, the Stargate franchise will live on in direct to DVD sales for years to come.

And we thought SGU was the worst idea in the cosmos... *headdesk*

I was extremely bored and wanted to procrastinate one Sat. when they were re-running KR (it's up against 'Bones' here - no contest to what I'm watching). Watched about 5 mins and went back to cleaning. Yes, it was that bad.

Heh, I'm watching it. I don't mind it so much, though I thought the lead looked better with shaggy hair. I think there's potential with it and my Kitt nostalgia from the 80s is strong. *sheepish* TBH, I like it almost more than SGA right now because of the fact that season 5 has been the Keller lovefest. I adore Joe Flanigan but all we get is Keller Rodney Ronon Keller Rodney Daniel Jackson! zomg Keller Rodney oh!Carson Rodney...blah blah blah.

Yeah, how shitty was that? It's a bunch of crap. I am so disgusted with the decision to cancel SG1/SGA and bring in Sanctuary and SGU.

I gave up on Sanctuary, I found that I wanted to do thing I normally put aside during the week, like homework during the show and that says a lot.

It's a slap in the face, alright, renewing something that crappy...

But, I guess, what else has NBC got? All their other new shows are equally awful.

Yes, truly revolting...but you can't make sense out of crazy. you can however throw up in disgust...and mail it to mgm. Oh, sorry, that was my inner voice!

I saw the pilot and thought it was okay. My six year old nephew love it, but I think that's all about the car. :)

I don't want to believe that. Accidentally caught 5 min of KR while hub was channel surfing. *shiver*

Where have all the good shows gone?

Hubby and I are watching it....sort of. We DVR it then when there is nothing left on tv and I am stuck on the couch, we turn it on. I wouldn't mind not watching it ever again, but oh well. Sometimes KITT makes me laugh.

I haven't seen the new KR, but if it's anything like the old one, I totally agree with your assessment, Wraithfodder...

crap will always get renewed, it's cheap, it's not creative (which takes time and money) and it's mindless! What more could you want to save a buck!!!!
