This show was never given a chance...


It's a bunch of crap. They never gave this show an honest shot. I remember having to hunt it down in the TV listings because they always moved it around. Eventually it was on at like midnight on Sundays...

Let's see, horrible time slot, zero advertising...wonder why it failed.

I'm surprised Sci-Fi hasn't picked it up...I would love to see it again and I know I missed episodes because midway through the season, the motorcycles changed their design in the opening credits but I never saw any episodes with the new version.

Let's get this show re-aired...or on DVD, I'd be happy either way.

I never even saw this, being a fan of Knight Rider, I'd have liked to. Was it even shown in the U.K.?

I remember seeing it on Sunday afternoons a couple times, when ITV weren't showing Baywatch or Airwolf reruns.

Like oh my god I freaking concur whole heartidly. This show was awsome.I loved every minute of watching it. I am glad I now recorded most of the episodes. It is two bad it got canned after one season. It alot going for it and against it. Why is it all the good shows get taken off tv and all the stupid ones stay on?

reply

well the reason the good shows get canclled they need ratings. My old AOL friend and KR fan Joe Hurth mad a pettion to try and save it and it failed also TKR for some pepole was not the same with out our true herros. And Deveon.

I remember watching this show at midnight on UPN in L.A. when I was ten with a blanket over my tv so my mom couldnt see the light from under my door LOL! The time slot did bounce around a lot which pissed me off a lot. I thought It was freakin cooool ...but again I was only ten and talking cars to me were amazing. Never held up to the original KR, but I still enjoyed it. I loved it so much I taped the shows ...yes im a dork like that. Anywho...You are right it was never given a chance, but then again what do you expect for a sindicated show.

it reminds me of the "power rangers"

if this show had lasted longer...i would have LOVED to have seen them better connect this series with the original by having TKR go up again all the evil double vehicles

have Goliath, K.A.R.R., K.R.O., K.A., and have it led by Garth Knight. Then they could go to the Shadow for help and find out Shadow was Michael Knight thus resolving that.

let's face it...Goliath, KARR, KRO, K.A. against Dante, Beast, Domino, Kat, and Plato aren't really unfair odds and would have made for a great episode!

I agree with PretentiousOne, the show never had a chance at gaining an audience. I also had trouble catching episodes of the series when it originally aired but when I did, I was pretty impressed. I was never a big "KnightRider" fan to begin with but this show was actually not bad. It sort of reminded me of the DC Comic series "Secret Six" where you had a team of very unique and specialized agents working for an unseen, unknown benefactor. The vehicles were pretty nice too and the finale had a neat twist at the end. Of course it also helped that "Team Knight Rider" also had nice looking babes like Christine Steel and Kathy Trageser in the cast.

I like Wolf1880's idea of Garth Knight returning in a new Goliath with perhaps K.A.R.R. and K.R.O. going up against the team. That would have been really cool.

Maybe if the rumors about the new "Knight Rider" series being greenlit and on the Fall schedule is true then maybe we'll see some elements of "Team Knight Rider" there. I didn't think the pilot wasn't very good however.
