  Edited on 05/20/09 Knight Rider has been officially cancelled There have been many posts on this topic and I felt it was prudent to make an official topic on this matter. I will be locking the other topics and ask all discussion take place here. At this time, the show has completed airing of the episode for season one. There is NO official word on the status of the show in regards to a second season. Speculation is that the show was not performing well in the ratings and it likely to be cancelled. Fans should know that this is not a done deal. I will post in this topic once I hear anything. Also if anyone else hears anything, please post all topics here and provide a URL link, so others users can read the news in its original form.

  potential not achieved because they just did too much! hide show

  unfortunately, this show had a boat-load of potential, but didn't really deliver on any of it's promise, while simultaneously over-doing it wherever they had the chance.
  
  the concept was great. the base storyline was great. their problem was this superpowerful car that could do anything along with the superpowerful base with technology that could do anything.
  
  when writing a show, your capabilities have to match your threat, not overshadow them. there's no drama in that. the 2009 version of k.i.t.t. was a shapeshifting transformer with the ability to create matter in any complex form at will. these features ALONE spelled the series' demise.
  
  beyond the fact that the audience DOES NOT want to see kitt become a pickup truck, van or (soon) helicopter or fighter jet, we don't want to see super-lazers or nukes formed out of thin air on kitts backseat. the base of operations was too advanced, too well-organized and too cliche to be believeable. it's too bad that the show was cancelled, because what fans were looking for was just coming to fruition. the introduction of k.a.r.r. was the inception of a whole new generation of storyline, as well as the destruction of their headquarters, forcing them to go rogue. that part was great. i actually thought the writers were correcting as they went - fixing the problems and tightening the show down to a more manageable cast and creative plotline. by losing the resources, i was hoping they would drop the over-the-top features of kitt and bring him down to earth. just say that the energy output and financial burden of his (ridiculous) skills were simply impossible to maintain alone... or establish that they were unrealistic upgrades that were leading to kitts ultimate destruction/decommision; thus, remove the upgrades to save the personality/cpu/program/existance.
  
  either way, i hoped for a season two without the transformations or replicators and we have a great start. bring back the mobile command center, while making the group outlaws (an improvement on the storyline for modern drama), and you have all you need for the second season. it's great really, because what it needs to become successful is to REMOVE costly special effects and settings. by doing LESS you can attain a much more entertaining story.
  
  here's hoping that we can revive this wonderful show one day soon!

  3.5 Bad

  A total "yawn"! Good CGIs but childishly written, with bad actors and boring directing. Bye-bye, fat KITT!! hide show

  Since the beggining the audience is being bombarded by the same boring stereotypes: the damsel in distress that is being instantly transformed from a smart, independent and strong person to a hurt kitten. On the other end, the macho ex-marine with the baby face in the role of the diamond in the rough heart-breaker action man. All these, mixed with an A.I. that still tries to grasp humanity and we have another non-intelligent revamp. The only scene I liked was when some previous KITTs were seen at a garage, during the pilot-episode. I really had high expectations, but episode after episode the show let me down totally. I've seen super-heroic cartoons with more realistic scenarios than of this one. For crying out loud, KITT was now a "transformer"? Eeew!!!

  This show overdosed and chocked on too much technology in an era which doesn't have it. hide show

  This show might of had good potential but we will never know as it was cancelled after season one.
  
  At times Kitt seemed too unreal. The transformation was, nano technology, all seemed way too much. It was hard to believe such technology could exist when it is based in our current era.
  
  The writers overloaded and overdosed the whole show, but that's not to say it wasn't a bad show. In a number of the first half the season episodes there were some good moments and a few funny jokes. The cast were all exceptionally good looking and gave the show very good glamour.
  
  But if you are airing against such shows as A Town Called Eureka you probably wont get the viewing numbers that you are looking for.
  
  But the storylines were to basic, silly, incoherent with reality and it all came crashing back down to earth.

  10 Perfect

  Greatest Show Ever! hide show

  First of all the new KITT is different and I think that's great. Some people don't like the car changing but I feel that that is alright. With the nano technology not Ipod nano. It gives them a more believable shell and a better story. The stories are great I feel that the beginning of this 1st season was great. I did see why the wanted to get back to the original feel of helping out the normal man on the street but I feel they could incorporate more evil high tech bad guys too. Here's to the greatest show the world has ever seen. KR! and KITT!
