2010 Mustang on Knight Rider
Assuming Knight Rider lasts long enough to air it, they just wrapped up filming Episode 9, "Don't Stop the Knight", which will include a 2010 Mustang on the gimbal at the Satellite Surveillance Center (SSC). It's not a sneak peek, though. The episode will air on November 19, a few hours after the 2010 Mustang debut at the LA Auto Show.

I had watched the first 'new era' airing, but never heard or saw of anything after...I had just assumed it was squashed by NBC due to lack of ratings....? But apprently not.

I watch it strictly for KITT... the gratuitous shots of beautiful women in bikinis in the last episode was a bonus though.
And how dumb is the new Michael Knight, having KITT transform while in midair after a jump? Didn't he realize that the impact of the landing would break something during the transformation? Everybody should know from their childhood that if you drop your Transformer on the ground while you are transforming it back to vehicle mode, parts will break off!

Yeah, apprently the ratings aren't great, and it might fall off and get canned.
Its being evaluated.
The other 2 surprises that haven't gained and lost viewers has been prison break and heroes.
But then again, they just started back up.

Did anyone notice in the episode this week, when KITT transformed in the desert, he transformed into the 09 F150?
Also, did no one spot that beautiful white and blue Ford GT he raced against midway through the show? If for nothing, this show is a great showcase for Ford's new vehicles
On another note, I think the reason Heroes and Prison Break arent hitting as hard as expected is because we, the viewers, are just way oversaturated with shows. I could not believe how many new shows started this year, I actually stopped watching tv and missed the first episode of Heroes (had to DL it in HD).

Problem is with the show that the writing sucked. If you look back at the original episodes (which are airing on Sleuth BTW) while they were a bit "campy" and sometimes even a little childish, they were targeting a young audience - namely a lot of us...
Now FF 25 years, and you've got a show that is trying to show off a ton of special effects that are utterly unrealistic (turning off older viewers), poor writing and continuity (further turning off older viewers) and enough skin that any self-respecting parent would turn it off rather than let their younger children (5-12yr olds) watch it. I'm betting GM is very happy that they aren't involved with the show at this point...
Combined, you've just killed off about any potential audience you might have had. I'm sorry, but stripping almost naked 5 minutes into the episode because of a "napalm missile" that hits a car that has everything except a darn fire extinguisher aboard is a waste. And the original pilot with the 3-way wake up followed by the lesbian morning scene is a bit difficult to explain to an 8 year old viewer.
I want to like it, trust me. But unfortunately, I do not think this show is long for the air...

Networks allocate a certain amount of money per season for new and returning shows. They pretty much HAVE to spend that money. As they look at their books and where they need to claim losses against profits - for a variety of complex formulaic reasons - it's not uncommon to turn out a show that they KNOW will be a stinker with the full intention of claiming it as a loss to balance their books. With a company as big as NBCUni/General Electric, those book balancing formulas can get pretty involved. This is a relatively new phenomenon. But again, creatives don't run studios/networks anymore, MBAs and their corporate masters do. So it's really no surprise.
