NBC Passes On Top Gear USA Due To Knight Rider Failure

[ 0 ] December 12, 2008 | Jason Coe

More Top Gear fun today! Reports have come in that NBC Networks have decided to pass on airing Top Gear USA to their new lineup due to the current and late failure of Knight Rider. BBC is reportedly shopping for cable networks in the U.S. to feature their hit European show.

I don’t see how NBC could place the two shows in the same arena. Knight Rider is a fictional entertainment series that sucks and is full of shit that would never happen in real life, versus Top Gear, a show dedicated to automotive enthusiasts who test vehicles in real life situations. But then again this is the same NBC that brought back American Gladiators…come on.
