In what has to be a positive sign, NBC has ordered four additional scripts for Knight Rider — which takes the potential episode count for the season up to 17. The Hollywood Reporter state that this is “the second new scripted series after CBS’ crime drama The Mentalist to receive an additional script pickup, often a precursor to a full-season order.”

Here’s hoping!
