Part 1, Part 2 and Part 3.
Graceful retirement award,
For me, there’s only one real contender for this award (especially since most series these days get axed rather than conclude properly).
Battlestar Galactica
I’d had a bit of a mixed history with Galactica.   Seasons 1 and 2 I absolutely adored, however once the New Caprica stuff in season [...]

Check out Part 1.
Best UK Network/Channel.
I’m really torn on this one.  There’s not many real contenders, although some of the smaller channels are quietly building themselves up a solid programming base, be it Sci-Fi UK with quite a few new shows lately that I’m enjoying (in fact a large percentage of my TV viewing at [...]

Fellow Blogger and regular commenter Pie Man 70’s done his own TV awards, and it was such a good idea, I thought I’d rip it off.  It helps that I agree with a lot of his choices, thus making it easier to cut and paste most of this post

I started working on this a while ago, but with the bad news from NBC this week, and the resulting #savekitt campaign on Twitter, it seemed like a good excuse to get it finished

Well, NBC has released their 2009/2010 schedule, and its grim reading.
It was pretty well known that with the economic situation taking a heavy toll on advertising, and NBC’s new deal with Jay Leno that the axe was going to be falling pretty heavily on other shows to free up money and space in the schedules, [...]

Great news for UK fans of Knight Rider.  The overnight ratings for the first showing of the pilot on Tuesday night hit half a million viewers, putting it as Sci-Fi’s most successful show since it had the first run of Heroes in the UK.
Its nice to see the show doing well, although of course, the [...]

With season 1 of the show now finished, I thought it’d be interesting to do an overall review, mentioning what I thought did and didn’t work.
There’s no denying it was a bit of an uneven season. Probably more than a little due to the conflict between Gary Scott Thompson’s idea for the show versus [...]

We’re now two episodes post the reboot of Knight Rider, and so far its been a good couple of episodes.
The stronger of the two was undoubtedly Enter Light, Exit Knight, which started in classic Knight Rider style, with Mike and KITT heading home after a long mission, only to be sucked into a bank robbery.
The [...]

Last week featured a big episode in new Knight Rider, as KARR was reactivated in the wake of Graiman’s death.
First thing to get out of the way, is that really the rematch was a disappointment. KARR himself was pretty much spot on. The Mustang with the yellow scanner was chilling (and underused to [...]

Following the return of KARR in Knight Rider next week, there’ll be a live webchat with the SFX guys at Master Key Films.   For more info, check out the news article at Knight Rider Online.
Just a pity it’ll be well after my bedtime
