Knight Rider:The Beginning of the End

It's looking like yet another new series is going to quietly fade away. The new Knight Rider show has halted production in what is likely the beginning of the end for the sequel of the 80's series of the same name.

The number of shows ordered by NBC has been ordered has been lowered from 21 to 17. The creators probably won't even have time to change the scripts, so I predict the season (and likely series) finale will end on an awkward note.

This is what happens when you don't have David Hasselhoff as the star of the series that made him famous (well, that and Baywatch). They couldn't even get back William Daniels as the voice of KITT (although you could still buy the GPS). Even a cameo by the Hoff in the television movie pilot couldn't save the series.

So fans of the series (both of you) face the inevitable lack of renewal. While no official announcement has been made, I'm sure the complete series will be available on a DVD set very soon. You'll find it on the shelves pretty close to the Bionic Woman set.
