Out of all the shows that network execs killed, this is, perhaps, one of the three saddest (the other two on the top three are Crusade and Firefly). The idea of having a whole team of Knight Riders with their own vehicles was, in essence, brilliantly conceived, and the show was actually a fantastic idea. It would've done even better if the network execs had let the creativity flow the way the creators wanted it to flow instead of trying to "suggest (i.e. demand)" things. Perhaps seeing less of Erica's overtly sexual advances and more of trying to build the dynamic between drivers and cars (one of the secrets of the original series), or having the relationships between them all build, the show would have survived. As it was, it should've made it.
