Knight Rider and Sarah Connor Given Full Season Pickups

Knight Rider has been given a full-season pickup.

NBC's critically maligned reboot of the '80s campfest has nabbed a full-season pickup, sources confirm to me exclusively. Producers were informed this evening that the Peacock was ordering the show's "back nine."

Despite middling ratings, KR has remained competitive in its Wednesday 8 p.m. time slot, particularly among young men who like bad TV.

We are mystified as to why in the world NBC would order more episodes of this show. It's awful. Other than Val Kilmer as the car: he's great. In more understandable news, Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles has also been given a full-season pickup. That is one of our favorite shows: it has great acting, great action and excellent writing.
