NBC has apparently reduced the order of episode for “Knight Rider” from 22 to 17 according to Knight Rider Online. This is a huge blow to the production, and could very well mark the eventual cancellation of the series.

The show has never pulled in an amazing ratings number, but the series took a huge hit after it was interrupted for a week by Barack Obama’s political ad in the last week of Oct.

The series has never recovered from that loss, and unless an audience stumbles upon it when it returns in January – it is highly unlikely that we’ll see a season two.
