Do You Care About A "Las Vegas"/"Knight Rider" Crossover?

Posted by Bryan Christian


You should! 'Cause it's coming! Maybe! And if you're a fan of Crossing Jordan or Heroes -- well, you probably already guessed what we're gonna say next.

Now, maybe you're not a fan of any of these shows, and you're all sort of like "Huh?" Well, the deal is this: NBC cancelled Las Vegas this spring after the writers strike truncated the show's third season, and, to be fair, after the show has been through the familiar dance of declining ratings, cast defections, a new timeslot. Oh, and also literally one day after showrunner Gary Scott Thompson was signed to captain their new Knight Rider reboot.

Which, you know, good for Gary -- but bad, perhaps, for Vegas fans, who were kind of expecting the show to return for the '08-09 season, particularly after the season (er, series) finale had Danny and Delinda getting hitched with a baby on the way -- like, really on the way, if you catch our meaning -- and the return of Tom Selleck's character from almost-certain death, and a couple of other things that we've forgotten that implied they'd be back. 

Well, turns out Thompson might be pushing to have Danny and Delinda turn up on an episode of Knight Rider.

Thompson says that Josh Duhamel and Molly Sims are particularly interested in spelling out what became of Danny, Delinda and their baby. "I talked to them both the other day, and they said we should do something. It was their characters that were really left hanging, and they were very upset by it."

Here's the thing about this: astute viewers of all things NBC will note that Las Vegas was known for its crossovers, with explicit or implicit appearances by characters from Crossing Jordan, Magnum P.I., and -- wait for it -- Heroes. That's right. Heroes. As in: if this thing goes down, you could see Sylar vs. a tricked out goddamn superintelligent Ford.

Lindy Parker has worked as a ghostwriter, editor, dance instructor and a purveyor of dreams, one beer at a time. She loves Charles Dickens and Gabriel Garcia Marquez and also, straight-to-video releases with Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen. It's possible she reads more teen fiction than she should. She hails from Los Angeles, her hometown and soul mate, but she lives in Brooklyn, the fling she'll never forget.

Olivia Purnell left Ohio for sunny Los Angeles; then found that she couldn’t ignore New York City’s call, and brought herself to Brooklyn where she has worked with GenArt, BlackBook, the School of American Ballet, and finished an M.A. in Creative Writing from N.Y.U. She loves one-liners with sting and hates the stench of the subway in the summer. That said, she can’t get enough of either.

Jake Kalish is a freelance journalist and humorist whose work has appeared in Details, Maxim, Stuff, New York Press, Spin, Blender, Men's Fitness, Poets and Writers, and Playboy, among other publications. He is also the author of Santa vs. Satan: The Official Compendium of Imaginary Fights.
