NBC orders up four more episodes of Knight Rider
Writers for one of the most appallingly terrible hunks of programming ever foisted upon the viewing public are rejoicing, and why not? The dreck-fest that is Knight Rider has just received an order for four additional scripts. Rather than go find real writing gigs, the KR team can continue cranking out such gems of broadcast drama while obviously in a drunken stupor. The worst part of the news of NBC's order is that such an action often precedes a full-season buy. Fans of long-form Ford advertisements with stupefyingly horrid dialogue will be pleased, and at least Nunez can continue with his live blog, so the rest of us can avoid the show entirely, yet still laugh at the inanity.

who cares??? well for one I do. I enjoy the show and there is nothing else on in that time slot anyway... + there has to be more people that enjoy the show if there was not why would they want to make 4 more episodes? If you dont like it thats fine but maby some people do..

My grandson cares....a lot. Wednesdays are special days with Papa, son, and grandson getting together (with a big bowl of popcorn), to cheer for Kitt and smile at the pretty girls. None of us care about the plot.

Ive never seen the show, but if they followed your advice--I'd buy the damn Collectors Edition on DVD!

If they continue this show much longer, I predict Ford (especially Mustang) sales will plummet as everyone in the world tries to dissociate self from this show... I've only read the live blog, and that is enough to convince me NOT to go anywhere near that show

My guess is someone at NBC enjoys the AutoBlog livebolgging episode recaps and doesn't want them to end.

This is great news. I am not ready to see this train wreck go. Plus Alex's blogs are a gem. So let's all suffer together.

No justice. Arrested Development, cancelled. Saturday Night Live not only is still on air but they keep putting those cast members in movies and TV shows. Last I watched of Mad TV they are taking lessons from SNL (long, drawn out, not funny skits with blatant politics nonstop). Presidential debates is on all THREE networks and Dirty Sexy Money is not on until next week.
Knight Rider lives on.
Dinosaurs these executives. Glad we have other channels to watch. I watched nothing last night. Hope others joined me, although apparently that does not matter anyhow.

Can't they just watch "Army Wives" instead?

Hey, come on, look on the bright side. If I have to choose between more Knight Rider or more Celebrity Catwalk Challenge I know what I'll be watching.

Why Celebrity Catwalk Challenge of course! There's more drama in one episode of those shows than in all the KR episodes to date.

Finally watched this last night. Gotta say, terribly unimpressed.
And I never thought they'd find someone more feminine than Hoff...but hell if they sure did!

I watched last night and think that the show seems to be getting better each week. When you have the original to compare it to, you really have nowhere to go but up. I mean it IS a TV show about a talking car (a hot talking car at that) with dramatic, unrealistic events showcasing gadget (read: eye-candy) technology. What's not to love!?!?! If you folks don't like the show...there are over 100 other channels available ya know. It's amazing that so many people can 'avoid/dislike' the show yet have so much to comment about it. Now that's what I call a drek-fest.
