"Good" news, everyone! NBC has extended the run of Knight Rider to a full season.
According to Entertainment Weekly's Michael Ausiello, the network has ordered nine additional episodes of the show about the crime-fighting hunk and his talking car.
Now, we know what you're thinking: Knight Rider isn't good enough to be good, but it's also not bad enough to be good-bad. It lacks even the Hasselhoffian camp value of the original show. And what's the deal with Val Kilmer doing the voice of smart-car K.I.T.T., when it could have been Arrested Development's gravelly Will Arnett?
Well, it doesn't matter. Ausiello says Knight Rider "has remained competitive in its Wednesday 8 p.m. time slot, particularly among young men." So if you're one of them, you can blame... er, credit yourself for keeping the show around.
