The show also features Kevin Carrigan, Ray Romano, Reiko Aylesworth, Ben Bailey, Bobby Cannavale, and Felix Solis.
It aired on ABC for one season.
Tropes for the series:
- Alliterative Name:
- Ray Romano.
- Dustin Diamond.
- The Caper: The team plots to rob Mick Jagger.
- Idiosyncratic Episode Naming: Every episode "Operation: ________".
- Intoxication Ensues: One episode had the Knights getting stuck in a panic room where Esperanza, who's claustrophobic, taking some medication and subsequently becoming very loopy. Louis observes, "I think she took more than the recommended dosage".
- One-Word Title: Pilot.
- Scary Black Man: The show lampshades this, as Rockefeller is explicitly referred to at one point as "our big scary black dude", a label he has no problem with.
- Secret Test of Character: One step in the Knights' plan to rob Mick Jagger is for one of them to get a job at a security company. The knight who applies is given a test run, being asked to deliver a large (but not huge) amount of money from point A to point B within a certain amount of time. The Knights consider keeping the money and ending their long-term plan but end up delivering the package. Turns out that delivering the package intact and one time is a test used by the security firm to see if an applicant is trustworthy. (The package actually contains nothing of value, just in case the applicant decides to steal it).
