NBC passes on Top Gear USA.. because of Knight Rider...

Because the new Knight Rider failed, NBC is going to pass on Top Gear USA. The logic is impeccable.

Because one of the absolute worst shows ever made, one which simply infuriates car guys because of the complete stupidity of the events in the show and the it-can-change-into-any-shape-as-long-as-its-a-Ford car car in the show (its not KITT, i forget what the heck it is called), has something vaguely to do with cars, car shows must not be popular right now in the US. NBC is a bunch of idiots.

Seriously, in Knight Rider, in the first show (the only one I watched), KITT2000 or whatever the heck it is called is being chased by the bad guys.. in a Ford Edge (the family 'crossover' SUV/Minivan). And it cant get away. At all. On a mountain road. Except when it needs to, the car can do 400mph. Yeah.... ok.

So because that paragon of stupidity and unreality failed, they are not going to do Top Gear USA, and that show will be passed along to a cable station. Which is really too bad, because it is going to need a decent production budged to make it worth while.

Not that I am too bothered, because there is no way that any Top Gear other than the Top Gear is ever going to live up to the original.
