RE: Knight Rider Returns to TV : )
My buddy has a Knight Rider Kit in his Restored TransAm. Complete High-tech Dash, Monitors, Computer Screens and Control Panel with Lighted Buttons. Even the Steering wheel is the Knight Rider style.
He takes it to shows and hires out for Birthday Partys giving kids a ride in the thing. He has a "Voice Module" that plays pre-recorded announcements in the original Knight Rider voice. Very cool. Complete with the Back and Forth running red lights in the front of the hood. He's ALL excited about the return of the series because he'll probably get some additional Gigs for showing it off!

RE: Knight Rider Returns to TV : )
After work this morning I went to a friends for
breakfast, & watched KnightRider 
I thought it was entertaining for a two hour Ford Commerical : ),
but I think KITT is a bad Look'in Mustang.
I laughed when KITT couldn't pull away from a Ford Edge : )
The plot wasn't toooo Bad, & must have been written
for the Space Crowd of Youths. For I am, only a child : )
Plus, it was free on NBC Broadcast TV .
I'm gona enter the contest to Win a Shelby GT 500 Kitt : )
And when I win, I will challenge everyone on the MCF
LOL ~ LOL
What's he holding in his hand below [:-]
Is that a X toy for KITT ? LOL Stay tuned
I would watch future shows : )

RE: Knight Rider Returns to TV : )
Hmmm...now that I've had some time to think about this....
My "creative mind" often formulates what an old favorite TV show might be like ... "updated" in today's world, and it always _seems_ cool. In the case of Knight Rider, perhaps my mind is more creative than I thought ... or, maybe, my expectations were too high, I'm not sure.
Yes, I watched Knight Rider Sunday night. I kinda liked it...kinda didn't. Indifferent, though, is not the right word. It was exciting to see KITT revived, but not so exciting to see only SOME of the history explained.
It was cool to see the old KITT in the garage (body parts and that famous license plate), but if you remember the Knight Rider 2000 movie from 1991, a direct continuation of the original series, some things just didn't "match":
...per the 1991 movie, the old KITT in the garage should've been the red one that ended that KR 2000 movie. Remember, Russell Maddock dismantled the original KITT and sold it for scrap....
...in the original series, Devon Miles was the face of the mysterious benefactor, Wilton Knight, who, according to imdb.com, created KITT.... Devon Miles was murdered by Maddock's guys in the 1991 TV movie.... But, the new Knight Rider movie Sunday night indicated that Charles Graiman (who decided to re-instate the Foundation) was the originator of KITT.... And, notice how Charles Graiman "resembles" (somewhat anyway) the original Devon Miles....
...in the 1991 movie, the lady Shawn McCormick has part of KITT's chip in her. And, remember, the red KITT that ended the movie was the Knight 4000 ... so, with this new TV series, we're going back a step to Knight Industries Three Thousand...?
*shrugs*
Course, that 1991 movie was looking into the "future" to the year 2000. After all, they were using Ch#$r%*et Berettas as cop cars, presumably to give it a more futuristic feel.... And, also to the new Knight Rider's defense, they weren't going to be able to completely explain the differences between the 2 TV series.
However, imho, it would've been nice if they had given SOME mention to Devon Miles and, of course, Bonnie. Who knows ... maybe they will. He he ... come to think of it, it'd be cool to see KARR, too...!
*pauses*
As for the "Ford commercial" in the new Knight Rider, I don't remember the product placement being THAT obvious in the original TV series or the 1991 movie. Heh ... what Ford Edge IS faster than KITT, anyway?
This new Knight Rider might not have been how I "created" it in my mind, but it was OK. Heh ... maybe I should submit concepts for some of my other favorite shows....
Speaking of ... am I the only one that thinks about what a continuation of an old favorite TV show might be like today?

RE: Knight Rider Returns to TV : )
I actually saw part of it and freaked out when i saw that it was a mustang... o and the rice burner airplane wing that was probablly drywall screwed to the factory one made me almost throw up it looks pretty stupid... but why a ford! are they that desperate for advertising they dont even have any competition against them anymore for the new afordable muscle cars and they still cant sell them apparently
