Bad Idea of the Week: Canceling the Canceled Shows
Here's the story of this TV season in a nutshell: Networks put on new shows. Networks cancel new shows. Networks promise to bring back the canceled shows so dedicated fans can get some bit of closure.
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 little taste of the crew when the show returns tonight with two of its previously unaired episodes.

"The Knights of Prosperity": Off the Air, but Still Funny
"The Knights of Prosperity" is gone from ABC's schedule, but the comedy may not be dead yet. It hasn't been officially canceled, and according to Variety, some of ABC's higher-ups are fans, which might give it a shot at a second season. Plus, some fans are rallying around the show too.
Why "Andy Barker" Should Do Better Than "The Knights of Prosperity"
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."
I was a big fan of "Knights" before its cancellation, and "Andy Barker" shares its screwball tone, layered with lots of pop-culture references and jokes that arise when normal folks are thrust into glamorous, intriguing circumstances.
RIP "Knights of Prosperity"
I was beginning to worry that I was the only person watching "The Knights of Prosperity," ABC's surprisingly funny Donal Logue sitcom about a group of friends who rob Mick Jagger's apartment. 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?
