    LOL, Nice Tim. But I mean seriously? At least T:SCC got picked up too or there’d be some MAJOR hell to raise.

    um… *whispers* i um…. well… like the show….
    OH GOD DONT SHOOT!!!!!! LOL

    i agree with the fella above me… its sad when firefly doesn’t get picked up and knight rider does.. clearly knight rider is NOT even close to the quality that was firefly.. but… that being said.. I dvr knight rider and i rather enjoy it. Its kinda like the transporter movies.. sure you have to suspend disbelief for an hour or so… but isnt that what science FICTION is about?

    p.s dont flame me to badly. LOL
