Almost every TV show gets upped to youtube the following day. Or even made available to watch online by the channel that played it.

The show absolutely blew. The only good parts were Mick and it was impressive to see that he knows how to kick a football properly. The comedy was shocking.

I thought that was a soccer ball he kicked?
GTRM, elsewhere someone posted that the show will be replayed on Friday. I taped it but it looks like I missed the end which appeared to have more MJ in the scene.
BTW The show was pretty funny. Not the best ever but enough to keep me around for a few more episodes. Then again, I like sophisticated humor & it seems some here don't.

I missed it. I had intended on watching it but I forgot or was doing something else. I've got a feeling that this show will be quickly forgotten. I would have watched it just to see Mick on TV but it's no real loss.

I'm not a big fan of American sitcoms anyway. I'd rather watch Hyasinth slap Richard up side the head.

Considering all the crap that's on network TV, The Knights of Prosperity wasn't bad. Try watching "Reba," or "According to Jim," or any of the gazillion reality shows.
There were a couple of laughs; what more do you want?

Yes, Mick was a bit effeminate but the show itself was still funny. Many here seem to want to return to the 3 Stooges type of comedy but that is gone forever.

NEW YORK (AP) -- Legendary thief Willie Sutton famously explained that he robbed banks because that's where the money is.
But who has even more money than the average bank? Mick Jagger!
Anyway, that's the giddy reasoning of Eugene Gurkin, a graveyard-shift janitor who dreams of opening his own saloon and needs a few bucks to stake it. Why not gather a crew to burglarize Jagger's $52-million Manhattan apartment -- a palatial spread where Mick's dogs frolic in his indoor swimming pool and his vast array of hats is kept in a cavernous climate-controlled hat room!
"Certainly he won't miss a few crumbs from his table of much plentifulness," Eugene ventures.
Thus is born the Knights of Prosperity, six lovable losers who, joining forces on the ABC sitcom of the same name, share newfound sticky fingers and a common lament: They can't get no satisfaction.
But, then, who can -- besides a Rolling Stone?
Donal Logue, who stars as Eugene, says that "except for the .08 percent who feel like 'we are the powers-that-be,' everyone is aware of a wonderful, glorified world that isn't their world. And they feel like it's beyond their reach.
"But why not dream?"
So "The Knights of Prosperity" (which premieres Wednesday at 9 p.m. EST) is a comedy about dreams -- and the dreaming dreamers who dream them.
"What viewers relate to in a character isn't the sexy, good-looking, smart dude who always knows what to say," says Logue. "What an audience connects with is 'I'm insecure, I'm scared, I'm worried that my life will amount to very little.' "
Led by Eugene (a panglossian motivator who could humble Tony Robbins), the Knights of Prosperity believe that something better lies ahead ... despite loads of comic evidence to the contrary.
Now Logue, costumed in black with a ski mask at the ready, is about to join his similarly clad co-stars as they film a scene for a future episode at Queens' Silvercup Studios.
The Knights have reached the anteroom of Jagger's 18th-floor digs, equipped with more security than the Pentagon. They have managed to filch the security code with which they can disarm Mick's front door. But never fear -- each step forward only leads to the next pratfall.
"If we weren't bumbling idiots, the job would be done already," says Maz Jobrani, who plays Gourishankar "Gary" Subramaniam, a cab driver who back home in India was a prosperous lawyer. "We're constantly getting this close, and then we create a new disaster and spend the whole episode trying to get out of it."
"It's really outlandish," laughs Kevin Michael Richardson, who brings his sizable girth and velvety, Barry White-like voice to his role as warehouse security guard Rockefeller Butts. "But they're so determined going after their prize, I think a lot of people will be rooting for them."
'A different twist'
This is a gang that has trouble even synchronizing their watches. But their zany, endearing doggedness is what the show is about. And though Jagger himself makes a very funny appearance in the premiere, "The Knights of Prosperity" won't be mistaken for "The Mick Jagger Show."
Nor was it ever intended to be.
"We initially wanted to pitch a comedy about a bunch of blue-collar guys who decide to change their lives by robbing a bank," explains Jon Beckerman, who created "Knights" with fellow "Ed" alum Rob Burnett. "But the day after we came up with that, we saw NBC was premiering a drama about a gang of robbers holding up a jewelry store. We felt we needed a different twist."
Their twist was making a famous face, not a faceless institution, the Knights' target.
"The commitment Mick made was to do a cameo in the pilot," says Burnett, "and after that we would see how it went. But we did not ever anticipate that Mick would be a member of the cast. Nor did he." (He is, however, listed as an executive producer.)
"We never saw the show being about celebrity," Burnett adds. "We look at the show as a workplace comedy with a very odd workplace."
Joining Logue (who starred on the sitcom "Grounded for Life"), Jobrani and Richardson are Lenny Venito as Eugene's janitor colleague Francis "Squatch" Squacieri; Josh Grisetti as dweebish journalism student Louis Plunk, who stumbles into the Knights when his college internship on "The Montel Williams Show" falls through; and Sofia Vergara as Esperanza Villalobos, a dishy short-order waitress who's tougher than the other five put together.
"These aren't greedy guys, they're not mean guys, they don't want to hurt anybody," says Beckerman, noting that the quest for the Knights is to finance their respective dreams, then donate the rest of their loot to charity. "They're trying to make something better of their lives with the most ethical version of crime they can figure out."
The Jagger heist -- which could stretch a full season before the next caper beckons -- will presumably land our heroes in an unexpected spot between Easy Street and the slammer. Giving up no details where, Burnett promises that, "no matter what happens to the Knights of Prosperity, all of these guys will be better for the experience: What they have for the first time in their lives is hope."
And as Mick Jagger might say: They just might find, they'll get what they need.

Whether one liked the show or not, I don't see it lasting long anyway. American Idol starts in 2 weeks.

Wait! I have an idea for a new TV show. A group of goofy message board posters decide that a long dead rock star's body has been preserved, even though he has been dead for about 40 years, and they want to perform their own autopsy on the body to refute the coroner's report. The show could be called:
"Let's Grave-rob Brian Jones"

A Bigger Bang had much funnier moments than that stupid show.
completely forced. bland. predictable. awful.
Mick's campy scenes were the only things remotely funny.

It was nothing to write home about. Although the show after it with the Korean chick with the rack giving that Silverman guy a handjob was oddly frightening and alluring at once. I won't even get into mentioning the later wearing by said Korean chick of the "You had me at Shalom" shirt. That's good Television.

Robbing MJ wasn't good. I watched for 5 minutes and switched to the Sugar Bowl. It looked like the Huskers should have kept Bo Pelini afterall.
