LOS ANGELES (Hollywood Reporter) - NBC has ordered four additional scripts for "Knight Rider," a positive sign for the freshman drama, which has had a sluggish ratings start.

This is the second new scripted series after CBS' promising crime drama "The Mentalist" to receive an additional script pickup, often a precursor to a full-season order.

Two freshman series, Fox's "Fringe" and the CW's "90210," have been picked up for a full season.

In its most recent airing Wednesday, "Knight Rider" attracted 6.9 million viewers, down from 7.8 million the week before.
