What NBC needs to do is cancel Knight Rider since it has to be one of teh worst shows they have ever put on and bring back Las Vegas next season. Their ratings would certainly go up from the people that were die hard fans when teh show was on and what to see how it ends. They would probably even pick up a lot more people that only watch daytime TV because they have seen the reruns on TNT and are now also hooked. Bringing that show back would be one of the smartest things they have ever done…

NBC reaped what they deserved ! Cancelled Las Vegas was a terrible mistake and now they see the result. To avoid another ill-advised decision and to make up a little, NBC ought to give an end to Las Vegas. It will attract the audience anew !

The NBC should bring back Las Vegas and something will change for the better. If so they will always worse.

Eliminate Las Vegas was a big mistake. It was one of the few shows that kept the high ratings of NBC. Many fans of Las Vegas no longer watch NBC programs as protest.
We ask only one final series, is the least that NBC can do for us fans who have faithfully followed this show for 5 years.

I am also very disappointed that Journeyman didn’t make it back. That was my favorite show of last year. I put it above any program on any other network. I even liked it better than Smallville and I am a big Superman fan and have watched every episode of every season since it began. Do you hear that NBC? I liked Journeyman better. Do what you can, bring it back.

i was a viewer of nbc for many many yearsfrom their daytime dramas (dool,santa barbara,another world)
to family ties, cosby , cheers, frasier seinfeld, friends,law and order, and a host of others. More recently, scrubs, my name is earl , LIFE, HEROES, MEDIUM ,AND JOURNEYMAN. When i found out that Journeyman was cancelled i stopped watching nbc altogether. honestly it was rough but I cant support a network that would cancel such a great great show . Ionly watched the first episode because i had watched heroes and wanted to give Chuck and Journeyman a try. Chuck was at best so so and it was only so so because of the blonde leading lady, take her out and it sucks. Journeyman ,I thought at first would be predictable and boring . Boy was i wrong, I am glad i didnt change the channel .NBC as it turns out did that for me , way way way prematurely. It was truly a clever show kept you thinking and,for me reminising(sorry if its spelled wrong).Anyway , I guess I should thank NBC for reminding me that there are 3 other networks out there that want me to watch there shows too. thanks nbc

I liked Journeyman for the three or so episodes I was able to see. Sorry, but MNF interferes. With Journeyman’s starts, stops and repeats I had trouble catching up with it.

Why did they cancel Las Vegas? It was a quality show that filled a friday slot.

By: dave

Kath and Kim should be a quick cancel. Not enough sitcom fans will sample after loser.

Knight rider has a shot to be a decent hit; if its a decent show(unlikely if the movie is anything to go by). brand recognition alone won’t keep it afloat.

My own worst enemy has the best shot to be successful; a lot rides on the quality of the show.

NBC getting a show to stick on Friday? Even if its good it’ll be a bubble show.

Ellen, the original Law & Order is currrently slated to return in mid-season. To keep things relatively simple, I created the chart with only the proposed Fall schedule. Also, anything beyond the Fall start is subject to change based on results.

The thing I noticed about KR is that KITT is already using his full potential, no learning mode so no actual character development because he’s already capable of everything he will ever do. Not good for longevity. I think they should air TSCC in 2009 alongside 24. It will compete mostly against Chuck which I think it will eat alive. If they air it in the fall it will go up against Heroes which has similar fans but has more fans due to it’s longer run. Also it will have to grow out of Prison Break again and that show won’t help TSCC at all.

I think this will be like the reverse of Jericho. Nobody will admit they liked the show, you won’t be able to find anyone who claims to watch or like it, but the numbers will be good (at least at first).

not only did people watch the movie, it grew viewers as it sped along. But that was the movie and I think the Bionic Woman comparison apt. I won’t be surprised if KR has a similar fate as BW starting out good to strong and fading fast. But I think it will outlast BW and doubt anyone will try to create any controversy about what it airs against (BW aired against fellow newcomer Private Practice)

Though unlike BW, I don’t think there is any mystery at all about what the plots are going to be like.

I have to wonder if Knight Rider will even last as long as Bionic Woman. Has anyone seen any real positive buzz for it? I haven’t found one person who actually liked the movie.

@Bill, I think you might be right, but they had to try with Knight Rider.

Outlander, I have no updates re: TSCC since last writing about it a couple of months ago. Our speculation is they bring it back, there’s some numeric basis for our conclusions, but it it is still speculation nonetheless.

While I didn’t love season two of Heroes, beyond the premiere, the ratings largely were consistent overall and across the demos. See:

Heroes key demo has always been its strong suit. Hopefully Season 3 wont be as bad as Season 2 (no more time wasting Hiro trips back in time please). Or even it could be in trouble. Its the same thing with Prison Break, even though its overall ratings are low it has a strong 18-49 demo. Also the same reason why Sarah Conner Chronicles will likely get another shot.

My big question – how bad would it be for those of us who like TSCC to have that show air against either Heroes or The Ford Commercial Hour a/k/a Knight Rider? I assume, of course, that Fox renews Terminator – and it had better. (Robert, if you have any new news or insights on TSCC’s renewal prospects, hook us up!)

I’d hate for the “baby” to get “split” and for TSCC to get canned in its second season because 1/3 of its core audience gets purloined by frickin’ Knight Rider….

Bill, I agree. 100%. It’ll get canceled after the first 13 episodes. Maybe even before.

@Jack, Heroes, while #36 overall on a season-to-date basis, is #8 overall on an 18-49 basis with a 5.0 rating in that demo.

Other than Sunday Night Football (#5 in 18-49 demo), it was NBCs highest rated demo show.
