The "Knights" Will Rob Again Tonight

I always got a kick out of "The Knights of Prosperity," ABC's canceled comedy about a band of inept robbers trying to break into Mick Jagger's apartment. It was great fodder for the Buzz Reel back in the day, and I thought the show's offbeat humor managed to stay on the right side of stupid. The show got pulled in February and missed the cut for a second season, but at least we can get one last Read more

"The Knights of Prosperity": Off the Air, but Still Funny

Watching the first few episodes of "Andy Barker, P.I." the other day, I was struck by its similarities to one of this year's other new comedies: the now-departed "Knights of Prosperity."

RIP "Knights of Prosperity"

Sadly, it seems I was indeed in the minority: Today, ABC announced that it's pulling the show off the schedule starting with this Wednesday's episode. But want to know the saddest part? According to Read more
