They are focus grouping the show via NBC.com viewer surveys. Questions 
pretty much involved asking which of the lame new characters added 
between the tv movie pilot and the new series should get less screen 
time. The nerdy young computer guru, the ditzy young Asian bimbo, the 
mysterious project overlord.

And just as the "American Idol" questions ask whether the show actually 
needs contestants, the "Knight Rider" questions ask whether the car 
and/driver are important to the entertainment value.

Given her prominence in the pilot movie, I was kinda shocked to still 
see Sydney Tamiia Poitier still listed in the credits, tho i guess she 
did have about 3-4 minutes in the series premiere.
