Knight Rider returns

Post by Chiron »

In the wake of the phenomenal response to Sky/NBC’s Battlestar Galactica TV series in 2004, and the cult, if not commercial, success of Michelle Ryan’s take on the Six Million Dollar Woman comes yet another rebooted Glen Larson classic. Knight Rider is to return to TV screens in 2008.

The original 1980s series featured David Hasselhoff as Michael Knight, a mysterious vigilante righting wrongs across a suspiciously clean America with the help of an artificial intelligence, K.I.T.T., embedded in his heavily modified Pontiac TransAm.

Hasselhoff went on to create Baywatch and became an ironic icon with an acute awareness of the nature of his appeal. The car, which all but the most pedantic viewers prefer to call K.I.T.T., has surfaced on eBay more than once: a number of TransAms were used for the show and several more have since been modified by enthusiasts to resemble the Knight Industries 2000.

The 2008 show Knight Rider stars Justin Bruening as Michael Knight’s estranged son Mike Tracer, an ex-Army ranger and creator of a new K.I.T.T. Purists are already expressing outrage that this time K.I.T.T will be portrayed by a Ford GT500KR rather than the classic Pontiac.

Knight Rider without the Hoff is like eating a cheeseburger off the floor; filling and delicious, but disgusting and wrong.

hahahahaha!

They should have put him in a 67 GTO. I'm partial to that year, even though my first car was a 68. No, I don't have it any more...I'm retarded.

No shit! Cool! My first (and hopefully not last) GTO was a '66 with original 389 tri-power. 8)

Yeah, and the transformer 'beetle' shouldn't have been a Camaro, either, but hey, since our icons are all for sale, Herby should be an Insight or a Prius the next time we see it.
