Well, it's come to this. After 4 weeks on the air it's not looking so good.
Our
ratings have been low and we've been getting clobbered by American
Idol. So, the network has given us a shot to redeem ourselves. They
have moved us to a new timeslot on Wednesday nights at 8:30pm
(7:30central). We basically will have 3 weeks without Idol running
against us (there is a God!) If we can build our numbers over these
next weeks then we have a chance at coming back in the Fall for a
second season. If not, then it's hasta la vista to the Knights.
(I
would've said "it's goodnight to the Knights" but every punny
journalist in the country is already waiting to use that one.)

So, I'm blogging you all to start the official "Save the Knights Campaign."
What
does that entail you ask? Will we be marching the streets or selling
wristbands?
No, I tell you, it's much easier than that. All you gotta do is to
send out e-mails to all your friends to Tivo, watch, record, talk
about, and spread the word about Knights. If you know anyone who has a
Nielson box give me their paypal account and I'll convince them to
watch myself. The point is to build a bit of steam. I'm thinking of
going to the airport tomorrow to pick up foreigners who have no rides
and bring them back to my house for free viewings.
(I'll probably have to lie to them and tell them we're watching an
episode of "American Idol," but whatever works man. This is war!)

If you feel inclined you can even go to abc.com and write them a quick
note about how much you enjoy the show (Knights not Idol.)  Here is
the link contact ABC.

For anyone who's missed any shows you can go to abc.com and watch them
online.
There will also be a re-run of one of the episodes tonight (Tuesday)
at 9:30pm (8:30 central) on ABC.  If you don't have the time to catch
up on the old shows, then here's the basic summary you'll need to be a
Knights soldier:

Week 1 - We got Mick Jagger's key only to realize that his apartment
also has a thumbprint sensor, a keypad and armed security guards.

Week 2 - We seduced Jagger's assistant and got the keypad code.

Week 3 - We were able to get her thumbprint and we took fighting
courses to fight the guards.

Week 4 - Rockefeller Butts, our big black team member got a job with
the security company that protects Jagger's apartment.

"We've got some great guest spots coming up soon including Ray Romano, Kelly Ripa and Dustin Diamond - yes Dustin Diamond! I'm telling you things are heating up man! These next few episodes begin to really kick into high gear.
Please spread the word if you can and drop ABC an e-mail or two."

It's not over yet - as John Belushi once said  - "Was it over when the
Germans bombed Pearl Harbor?"

Thanks for your patience and support,
