   I don't know that it ended, but the incredibly awful "Knight Rider   
   2010" movie was set in a dystopian Mad Max style world wherea lot of   
   things were gone ... including apparently the intelligence of the   
   people who made that utter garbage. It had *nothing* at all to do with   
   the TV series, so is easily ignored.
