Somebody put out an APB for the Hoff, his services might be required soon.

With ratings sputtering, producers of NBC's Knight Rider 2.0 are putting the talking-car show into the garage for a major overhaul that includes eliminating three series regulars.

Gone are Sydney Tamiia "Daughter of Sidney" Poitier, Yancey Arias and Bruce Davison, whose contracts were not renewed past Knight Rider's initial 13-episode order, per the Hollywood Reporter.
