Series Premiere: Knights of Prosperity

Set the DVRs, PVRs TiVos…or even the VCR because I think we might have a new show to talk about tomorrow. Tonight is the series premiere of The Knights of Prosperity – one of the most talked about and highly anticipated shows coming out of this summer’s TCA’s. Of course back then the show was known by it’s original title “Let’s Rob Mick Jagger”. So what’s this show with two obscure names all about?

Soon he excitedly recruits a group of “average joes” into his “gang” — “The Knights of Prosperity” — to plan the celebrity heist.

I’ll be watching…will you?
