ABC was never serious about the show. Cutting the order of 13 episodes to 6 before it was shown was a good sign that the show was always doomed.

Think its too bad.. i liked the show.. But i dont get why they are showing reruns instead of just showing the rest of the episodes? i mean they have already bought em!

Exactly! Will reruns really get higher ratings than a new episode of Knights? Not happy about this, really enjoyed the characters and general idea of the show. Hopefully they don't handle this like they did Day Break.

Yeah, this was a fun, quirky little show.
It was just getting into it's "moving on from robbing Mick Jagger" stage.

Does anyone else think this might have worked on Fox? It had the feel of a Fox sitcom (kinda blue collar, a little odd ball)

They certainly would have gotten more time to find an audience...

Too bad. I wonder what the other networks consider to be acceptable ratings up against American Idol?

Nooooo!

ABC, if this really is cancelled, bite me.

And I thought NBC screwed Burnett and Beckerman with "Ed". Maybe a miracle will happen and this will find its way to DVD.

On hiatus over at ABC? Wow, this will make a great lead in to "The Nine." Whatever happened to that one?

Apparently, ABC doesn't have room for a fresh, innovative, SMART comedy in their lame lineup. I truly hope this show comes back in some fashion as, in my opinion, it's been one of the funniest shows I've seen in a long time. Great cast!

I'm really upset about this! It's a damn shame. This was the funniest show of the season. Every episode had me in hysterics! The ensemble moved like comedic clockwork, and the humor was some of the best in recent memory.

This show would be an ideal property for Comedy Central or FX if ABC is truely finished with it.

My wife and I only watch a few shows together. This was one of them.

The first regular series I've watched on ABC since Twin Peaks and they're about to cancel it. I'm serious ... since Twin Peaks! Wow, ABC sucks more than I'd realized.

Do all sitcoms have to have the same tired-- act,plot,cliches--to succeed? I'm getting tired of trying to find quality shows only to have them canceled for another mediocre procedural, or unfunny sitcom. ABC has had three (off the top of my head) superb, diamond-in-the-rough, comedies in the last three years (Sons and Daughters, Help me Help you, and now the Knights). All of which they have squandered away due to lack of promotion or incompetent programming decisions.

TV Squad drops the ball once again, this is getting to be a pattern... According to this (Monday) morning's USA Today, ABC executives are strongly considering holding the remaining episodes over for next season. They believe the show might perform better with a healthy dose of Ray Romano, who was introduced as the next target in the last episode to air. ABC will most likely hold the other 3 episodes or so that are in the can, and begin the second season with them, while promoting Romano's involvement. Romano does appear in the episodes that have been held, unlike the one episode and out for Mick Jagger. The USA today article said that ABC still has hopes for the series, and it doesn't appear to be in as much danger of cancellation as one would think. God Bless TV squad and the posting of unresearched articles. Beat by a second rate newspaper again, but hey, I just thought the rest of you readers would like to know, don't panic yet, but also don't expect this show to be back before fall.

As everyone said above, it was starting to find its stride. I hope the Tao of Steve gets into another show, I think he's grrrrreat.

Agreed to every one of these comments! Now, everybody e-mail ABC.com and tell them how you feel - tell your friends to tell their friends, etc..... It could really help, it has in the past. ABC needs to know that this show CAN succeed if they give it a freakin' chance. A new comedy in a good time slot is hard enough to survive. But No. 1, delaying it from its original Fall premiere and then putting it up against American Idol in January??? Please E-mail ABC.com - every day, several times a day! We could make a difference!! I'm sick of the same old comedies, too - this one is unique and deserves a fair chance!!!!

I'm not shocked at this revelation. From the first time I read a summary of the show, I knew it would be a bust. I feel the same way about the Caveman show ABC has ordered. It amazed me how I can almost always tell if a show will bomb, but the networks can't.

Thanks for the info Bob Loblaw.

ABC recently advertised the show as a hit comedy or something, so it would seem strange for them to completely cancel it.

Holding the Ray Ramano episodes to re-launch the show sounds good, let it get a bigger following.

That sucks ... I just don't get it ABC ... I honestly liked the show and couldn't wait to see what the Knights did next. KOP was one of the few comedies I would label as a "laugh out loud" fun show. So what does ABC do ... it takes a great show off the air and leaves shows like "George Lopez" & "According to Jim" & "In Case of Emergency" on the air. Sorry, but I just don't get it. To the writers & producers; to the staff & crew and most of all to the awesome cast of the "Knights" ... you were awesome .. hillarious .. fun to watch. Thank you! You deserve awards ... you were great! Really !!

Bob Loblaw, do you have a Law Blog? (sorry, I had to)

Can anyone confirm that at least it is not totally cancelled? Also, what's the best way to go about a "save the show" campaign? I'm trying to figure out what could be done, just as a pre-emptive measure.
