03.31.08 DID NBC ACTUALLY SEE KNIGHT RIDER?
NBC’s Knight Rider TV movie was up there with croc sandals, the Holocaust, and Viva Laughlin in terms of things so bad you can scarcely believe they’re real. But that didn’t stop NBC from moving forward with a complete series, because they’re evil and/or retarded.
Knight Rider has been given an episodic order and has been mentioned as a contender for a Friday night timeslot.
But it’s important to balance any guesses about NBC’s new sked with one important caveat: Even Peacock insiders say what will be revealed this week will be written in pencil. Execs have made it clear they’ll reserve the right to make changes in order to react to competitors’ moves or if promising scripts or pilots take a wrong creative turn.
Considering the decision, I’m surprised it won’t be written in crayon, or safety pencil, or alphabet soup. I guess bottom line, expect misspellings.
"We’re selling advertisers platforms as opposed to specific shows," said NBC Entertainment co-chairman Marc Graboff. What’s important is not that, say, "Knight Rider" airs Fridays at 9 but that the Peacock delivers some sort of action-drama in that timeslot. "Advertisers don’t care as much about a specific show as opposed to ‘Am I getting the kinds of eyeballs I paid for?’" Graboff added.
They’re obviously after the kind of eyeballs with nothing behind them. Anyway, read the rest of the source article if you like being depressed. I haven’t finished it myself, but any second now I get the feeling Graboff’s going to bite the head off a live puppy and then cackle maniacally.

Has anyone broken the news to Chodin yet?
I don’t see what the big deal is, my car talks to me all the time. It screams "Hey dumbass, get a real job."
Sources are quoted as saying "due to budget concerns, Val Kilmer has agreed to reprise his role as the voice of KITT, and as payment, he gets all the toasted English muffins he can eat". [Ed. note- That's a lot of muffins]
Rot, thats not your car, thats your Mom.
Great JHC, it will be a big Ford and Thomas’s commercial.
Rot’s mother, the car?
That’s funny Rot. Mine too. It uses morse code, delivered through the rod bearings slapping the crankshaft. Just this morning it told me that it was low on oil. It must have thought that I didn’t hear it at first, because the longer I drove, the louder it got. Weird. How would it know that I couldn’t hear it?
My parents loved Knight Rider.
Eibmoz sez: Rot, thats not your car, thats your Mom.
Nah, my Mom just keeps telling me the story of how I "accidentally" strangled my twin in the womb.
When my car realized that it was a Ford, it uttered one simple phrase: “Kill. Me.â€Â. I laughed and said simply “Just get me to the goddamn Porno Store, you dildo.â€Â. I think it’s finally started to accept it’s fate.
Don’t they put the retard shows on Friday night when normal people are out partying with friends or having sex with strangers?
*looks around, realizes where he is, backs away slowly*
In conclusion, Fuck Mike(al Knight)!!!
Is ‘Sked’ the cool way of shortening schedule now? Kill yourself.
My car doesn’t talk to me, it talks for me.
It says: bryce doesn’t give a shit. And if you don’t like his choice in car you can walk or take the bus. Decide quickly.
To keep things interesting ABC ordered an entire season of a monkey fucking a shoe.
I think the networks should start bringing back content from the eighties in bigger blocks. Like, instead of just remaking ‘Knight Rider’, or just ‘The Fall Guy’, they should combine the two into one electrifying television event. What to call it? "The Knight Fall Guy Rider". Face!
Burnsy, if you had said football, that would’ve been next week’s big winner fo sho.
If NBC wants to get real ratings from the dateless loser demographic, they should hire a different supermodel to wash the car every week.
My car says "Hi, I like to meet new people, fatten them up and then act dumb when they go missing" it’s more of a Mr. Softee truck…don’t let the name fool you.
ABC already has a monkey fucking a football. It’s called Dancing With the Stars.
I cant wait for that monkey show, damn!!!!
Wait, a monkey fucking a shoe? Isnt that I love New York? Maybe Rock of Love?
No Eibz, you’re thinking of those STD game shows on VH1.
Why can’t someone give Automan a re-do. I remember that as being an awesome show. I also remember beating off as being awesome before I’d had actual sex. Now I fondly remember sex the same way.
EMPTY GAS TANK :-(

Does this guy know how to party or what?
I knew this guy who worked the graveyard shift at a porn shop, and he’d always watch videos while he was working. He came across a video one time where this guy and a really hot chick started going at it, but instead of fucking her, he fucked her shoe. And he would say things like "Oh yeah, I’m fucking your shoe!" and "Does it turn you on to see me fucking your shoe?" Apparently there was no intercourse involved, and it lef him really disallusioned. He quit that job shortly afterward.
That reminds me of my career, jack. Just substitute clients and my boss telling me they’re fucking my integrity and common sense.
