Hey friends! I know you must have come across the above lines more than a few times in the past few months. But this is actually a question most of the fans of the action series Knight Rider have been pondering. Thousands of words have been written about how the revived version of the show has not been able to stand up to the expectations. Various changes have been made to the show to suit the tastes of the audiences. And now the show has been even reduced to only seventeen episodes, which has left many of its fans heartbroken. The other day I was just wondering about the future of this sci-fi series. Is it going to face the axe just after season 1 or is it going to get another chance? I just don’t know where the series is headed to right now.

But one thing that I feel deeply is that somehow we have been just prejudiced about the show from the very beginning. If you are wondering how, just go through the following lines.

Like everybody else, I also agree that the original version of Knight Rider was a classical trendsetter. It reached an acme that was set as standards for all its later versions to follow. But we forgot one thing that a classic is made only once. When the news about the latest version of Knight Rider came, we made up our mind that it could not achieve the level of success of its parent version. And that is why we did not accept the new version even though it was based on the issues of current times prominently the issue of terrorism.

We always thought of the Knight Rider as a hero who fought day to day crime, but that was true in an era when the world was not struggling with the menace of terrorism. If we are not ready to see an old series which changes its concept according to the needs and issues of the modern times then I think shows like Knight Rider will always fail to make a mark!
