Knights of Prosperity

[dogwonder78]

Anyone heard about this show taking the Lost slot in Janaury? a group of underdogs chasing the American Dream by robbing Mic Jagger. I'm especially psyched about it because Jagger is in the first show, and I haven't seen him be funny for a long time...since those SNL skits where he played Keith Richards.

 

[Shifty]

ABC pushed it back since they felt it would be lost in the parade of new and returning shows. It looks good but I don't usually watch TV on Wednesdays.

 

[jaydawg]

How is this show gonna last a pilot? They steal from him then what? Jail?

 

[Shifty]

Its like Prison Break, the season builds up to the robbery. They should have episodes after the robbery but its about planning. And then the next season would have a new celebrity to rob. I seem to remember Jeff Goldblum as the original target.

 

[dogwonder78]

I think Slinger is right. From what I've read, they are going to be going after other celebrities that are targets as well. Looks like there are going to be a bunch of celebrity guestspots, which is cool:

So anyone who doesn't watch this show is a fool.....its not the greatest at the moment and an can see why some folks wouldn't watch it, but you should....if you are a fan of Donal Logue (And you should be) then take a moment and watch this show....please don't let it get cancelled prematurly.

the show looks impossibly clever, but that could just be the editing for promotion.
who knows, it looks funny, surreal and smart and those have been lacking from network TV for a long time ( yes, Arrested Development fans, I don't think your show was THAT clever) but we'll see.
if it's good it'll be over in 2 weeks, if it sucks it'll run age like "According To Jim"or something with competing banality.

 

[amazingfantasy15]

Not the best, not the worst show on TV. The best part of the series so far was Mick Jagger showing off his apartment in the pilot.

 

[Shifty]

Still haven't watched this.

I liked the pilot, but I missed the second episode because it played late due to a basketball game. I tried to watch it online at abc.com about 8 times, but the damn thing kept stopping after a few minutes, so I finally just gave up trying. I've taped the last 2 episodes, but won't watch 'em until I can get the fill-in episode.

 

[Roughneck]

the show is simply Gold.....I just hope that it actually makes a full season......for some reason the really great shows get canned.a

Knights of Prosperity Pretty Much Canceled

Poor Donal Logue. Oh, how I dig him, but he just can't seem to catch a break lately when it comes to TV projects. His latest ABC effort, Knights of Prosperity—about a gang trying to rob Mick Jagger—is apparently no exception.

My sources say ABC told Knights' writing staff today the comedy would not be picked up for the "back nine" episodes, which basically means they're planning to shut it down after the current 13-episode commitment.

ABC is not officially uttering a peep about the C-word (that's "cancellation," you dirty birdies!) and is simply announcing a time-slot swap with According to Jim. But the writing has been on the wall the past two weeks, as American Idol sucked up viewership from everywhere in the universe and slashed Knights' audience in half (down to about 3 million viewers).

Mick Jagger, you can sleep well tonight.

Yeah if any show drops below 6 or 5 million on the big four networks its cancelled. Hopefully they stick this on a DVD set in the fall. Concept was great, a shame. Just glad NBC stuck with The Office.

 

[fu manchu]

Wow! Dustin Diamond needs a bodyguard ?

Also, what's funnier, the last 5 Woody Allen movies or Saved by the Bell?

 

[amazingfantasy15]

So another new ABC Wedsnesday night show bites the dust, not very suprising, they've cancelled The Nine, Daybreak and looks like Knights of Prosperity is gone too, has In Case of Emergency been killed yet? Not to mention Invasion last year. Does ABC just has very unrealistic expectations for these shows or what?

They cancelled Daybreak? I liked that show i was wondering when it was coming back guess they just stopped showing it when they debuted Knights of Prosperity.

Damn whats ABC gonna play Lost 24 hours a day or something.

How are the George Lopez and Jim Bellushi shows still on?

 

[Warhammer]

Damn, Wednesday sucks.

I watch Bones but thats at 8 pm.

and i thought one of the reasons they moved lost was to have these two new shows on.

ABC is getting as bad with there shows as FOX is.

 

[Warhammer]

I forgot that Bones came on.
David Boreanez is awesome.

ABC is getting bad.
Boston Legal is the only show that I watch, because the Shat man as Denny Crane is golden.

Besides, NBC is my main station. I watch some many shows from that network.

Every other time, I watch 1 vs. 100 or Deal or No Deal, because they are cool shows.

 

[The Apatow Crew]

Yeah tv of late has pretty much been meh.

Only a cool real good shows on.

 

[Artistsean]

It looked funny,
for those who haven't seen anything about it,

From moments of the show I have watched, it was about this group of characters who get together and plan to rob Jagger. They think they are incredibly clever but they are actually really dumb, and it is only through dumb luck usually that they get closer and closer to their actual goal.

Too bad, it was a show that actually looked good and funny and wasn't a big dramma or a reality show. I didn't watch it but I don't watch shows on a regular basis week to week (except for Heroes)

3 million viewers? The CW or other cable channels would take that but ABC couldn't, they weren't bringing in the audience numbers they promised the advertisers.

What I don't get is why ABC would have a new show up against American Idol. They delayed the show until January so they could market it better but then put it up against American Idol -

"In the year 2000!!!"
