Sep 28 2007Knight Rider: No Hoff, No Thanks
Following the success of Transformers, Variety reports that NBC has plans to try their hand at another intelligent car-based program, remaking '80s classic Knight Rider. Not only does the article claim the series will introduce the idiotic idea of evil rival talking cars to go against KITT, there is no mention of David Hasselhoff reprising his role as Michael Knight. The only way this makes sense is if there will be twenty men playing the role of Knight, which would be roughly equivalent to one Hasselhoff.
For those that don't remember the series, under the cut is the final episode, in which an off-screen KITT selfishly tries to stop Michael Knight from enjoying his cheeseburger.

I heard KITT won't run off gas. Instead, pure vodka. Hang on, that's the driver.

I just want to point out: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/KARR_%28Knight_Rider%29
Rival talking cars already happened, get with the program. You are clearly not a REAL Knight Rider fan.

We need less talking cars, not more.

Well, I had an idea some time ago to have Knight Rider come back, but with Michael Knight taking the Place of Devon Miles (See Knight Rider 2000 for the reason to need a replacement for Devon), but with an unmodified and therefore un-ugly Pontiac Banshee as Kitt. Or a GTO. A Jaguar XJS would look pretty awesome too.
And Goliath was a much cooler enemy than KARR ever was. Although, KARR had the coolest voice modulator.
