The series went through several name changes: the original title, though never publicly affirmed, was ''Let's Rob
Jeff Goldblum, later changed to Let's Rob
Mick Jagger once Goldblum committed to the NBC drama Raines. ABC announced the series for its fall schedule as Let's Rob...
in May, and the final name change to Knights of Prosperity'' was reported in July 2006. During the TCA Tour, executive producer Rob Burnett indicated that the title might change again before the show debuts, but the show debuted under the "Knights" name. Originally scheduled to debut on October 17, 2006 at 9:00 p.m., it was pulled from the schedule on October 3 in favor of at least two additional 90-minute episodes of its intended lead-in,
Dancing with the Stars. ABC later announced that the program would be shelved and rescheduled for a January 2007 airdate due to the network now making another sitcom,
Big Day, a priority for the Tuesday night schedule. On November 9, 2006, ABC began running promos for the show in advance of its January airdate. On December 5, 2006, ABC announced that the program would premiere on January 3, 2007 at 9:00 p.m. Although the show was scheduled to air the following week at 9:00, a
primetime address by the
President of the United States caused the second episode of the show to air at 9:30 p.m. The show returned to its normal 9:00 time slot the following week. The show was rescheduled to 8:30 beginning on January 31, 2007, and remained there until it was pulled from the schedule on March 5. Before the upfronts, the network announced that it was considering a second season featuring Ray Romano. However, the show was ultimately canceled, and was briefly brought back in the summer to burn off the remaining episodes along with fellow low-rated newcomer
The Nine. Both shows were pulled again on August 14 and on August 17, ABC put up the remaining episodes on its website. == Marketing ==
