Will The Original KITT Make An Appearance In NBC's New KNIGHT RIDER Television Movie/Relaunch/Pilot Thing??

I expect we'll see Classic KITT by chrth	Dec 4th, 2007 10:25:23 AM
In a TV movie between seasons 3 and 4.
I'm surprised the new KITT isn't a Volvo... by SpyGuy	Dec 4th, 2007 10:32:46 AM
But will the original iteration of the canal make an appearance?
WIll there be Titty? by Kentucky Colonel	Dec 4th, 2007 10:33:36 AM
Because really, isn't that what it's all about?
I'm actually surprised the new KITT isn't a GTO. by SkidMarkedUndies	Dec 4th, 2007 10:39:09 AM
That would have made much more sense than a Mustang.
The new model GTO that is. by SkidMarkedUndies	Dec 4th, 2007 10:39:40 AM
Not a classic one. That would be silly.
So... will this be a continuation? by KentButabi	Dec 4th, 2007 10:46:24 AM
of Knight Rider 2000? Or Team Knight Rider? I never watched the TK series, but caught the KR200 tele-movie. It was OK. The new KITT (red) was OK. The boat part was a little hoaky.

Hopefully they've taken notes from BSG by IAmMrMonkey!	Dec 4th, 2007 10:59:02 AM
THAT's how you reinvent a franchise. I sincerely hope that the writers have paid attention.
new KITT voice... by Kubla_Khan	Dec 4th, 2007 11:09:39 AM
...I heard is Bernie Mac. Also, the main new feature in the KITT 3 thousand series is: More cup holders. You heard it here first. And the bad guys? Cars that have gone rogue, used to work for us, but can now think for themselves. This new generation of car actually look like humans - but when they belch you can smell exhaust fumes. Dead giveaway.

What about Viper? by Kid Z	Dec 4th, 2007 11:22:16 AM
We need cameos by all robot cars! (Except Viper can have Rachel Bilson riding it it, since her dad, Danny Bilson, was co-creator of Viper, and she's pretty damn cute!)
What about the Knight 2000?! It was red, had.. by captboulder	Dec 4th, 2007 11:30:00 AM
better weapons, a viewscreen, and turned into a FUCKIN' BOAT! Now thats a car!
Cameos are a great idea. by Diagnostic	Dec 4th, 2007 11:30:38 AM
A-team Van, The General Lee, Starsky & Hutch car, Automan car, BSG '80 Motorcycle... Just have them drive by in a shot.
more cameos... by BigTexas42	Dec 4th, 2007 11:36:16 AM
ghostbustermobile, deathproof car, herbie, bumblebee (animated), the vw bus from little miss sunshine, the batmobile, the Canyonero (also animated), boss hogg's car, and the mellinium falcon.
pretty sure "mellinium" is spelled wrong by BigTexas42	Dec 4th, 2007 11:37:14 AM

No Knight Boat? by tme2nsb	Dec 4th, 2007 11:42:23 AM

MUSTANG?? by endlessoul	Dec 4th, 2007 11:54:01 AM
You must be joking. Domino from Team Knight Rider (female, BTW) was a Mustang. Make it something cool, not something a douchebag drives.
More Cameos by Kentucky Colonel	Dec 4th, 2007 11:54:37 AM
The "Death Mobile" from Animal House. And Adam Wests' bitchin two seater Batmobile. And the Smokey & the Bandit Trans Am & Freightliner. And the jalopy from "Paper Moon". And a lightcycle, just for kicks.
One More by Kentucky Colonel	Dec 4th, 2007 11:56:35 AM
The Ford Tarus that John Cusak bangs Ione Sky in "Say Anything". Sigh....I wanted to bang her so hard....
If that car we saw the other day is the new KITT by photoboy	Dec 4th, 2007 12:02:52 PM
Then they really shouldn't have the old KITT in the show, it will just remind everyone how shit the new one is.
So is old Kitt being rebuilt into new Kitt??? by picardsucks	Dec 4th, 2007 12:07:04 PM
Kind of like the Enterprise being refit in Star Trek The Motion Picture??? That would be pretty badass. Or as badass as Knight Rider can be.

It's bullshit - fake by Snaieke	Dec 4th, 2007 02:37:19 PM
Not a T Top Trans-AM or for that matter look anything like the original KITT and there are enough replicas out there (see Hoff's first season of America's got Talent) that they could have easily used one of those. This is crap.
No by ewokstew	Dec 4th, 2007 03:17:36 PM

The New KITT Should be a Delorean by kevinwillis.net	Dec 4th, 2007 04:40:26 PM
Because the stainless steel body would help disperse the flux capacitor energy. When Michael Knight travels back in time, to when this idea would attract viewers.
ok by Dylan2e	Dec 4th, 2007 05:04:50 PM
talking car, hasslehoff, blah blah blahhhhhhhhhhh. I just found the final two episodes of Dexter Season 2 on bittorrent but I'm afraid to watch them both at once because I'm afraid the awesomeness might serial kill me. Why can't that get a talkback instead of this nostalgiac nonsense>

Honestly these people think we are dumb by longhairedrocker	Dec 4th, 2007 06:08:30 PM
The trans am in the blog posting is an about a '89. The original was an '82. Knight Rider 2000 should have been black for one thing and all that useless crap they put in it.....yuck. BTW after Knight Rider 2000 the car was repainted and used as a cop car in one of those Power Rangers movies and then auctioned off on Ebay. Movie studios have this thing with letting things rot apart on back lots for what seems like forever and never getting the full value out of anything. This new Mustang will rot apart on a back lot for years too....and no one will care.
If this show is a success I'll castrate myself. by AllPowerfulWizardOfOz	Dec 4th, 2007 07:54:30 PM
Seriously. That's how much faith I have that this show will be canceled before the end of the 1st season. The 1st episode will attract for nostalgic reasons but after that a sharp decline. Just like the bionic woman.

80's Trans Am Knight Rider by longhairedrocker	Dec 5th, 2007 06:11:18 AM
The funny thing is....there is an actual fanbase for this. The problem is NBS isn't listening or never cared to ask. There are several differnt business that make aftermarket parts to turn your trans am / firebird into a Knight Rider replica. There is a huge underground fan base and money is being spent to make K.I.T.T. replicas. True fans have hope that Glen Larson will get it right because this thing is going to be a disaster. The Hoff should aviod this like the plague and go kiss and make up with Larson. I will say this if either Larson or NBC cared about either the movie or series. They ask die hard fans that are the only people that are really going to watch it anyway......
Knight Rider by NudeandAroused	Dec 5th, 2007 06:22:16 AM
This has to be one of the dumbest shows in the history of TV. I cannot believe that any right minded exec would even give a second of time thinking about this. Personally, I am betting that "BJ and the Bear" or "Supertrain" are not far behind. Pathetic.

It's just all so....Gay, sorry but the franchise sucks by Doctor Zoidberg	Dec 5th, 2007 05:40:41 PM

Franchise doesn't suck...it just went too far in the wrong direc by longhairedrocker	Dec 5th, 2007 06:32:36 PM
The concept of Knight Rider is cool. The problem is someone that worked at the networks decided that the "car" was the star of the show and they should give it more and more stuff to do. Knight Rider would have been a great show if it rather than focused on the car it focused on an actual investigation. The car was cool enough in the first episode to never do anything more than what it was capable that day. No stupid upgrades every episode and a rebuild every season. Want Knight Rider to be a hit..make it "realistic" make it about a smart detective with a cool car that helps him solve crimes. Use the car more like a CSI tech lab, you know finger print analysis, voice analysis. Make it more in our world and less in fantasy land and then the franchise won't seem so silly. I should be a writer for a television show....LOL

longhairedrocker... by j_ky2002	Dec 9th, 2007 10:01:43 PM
The ORIGINAL was an /82, but he was updated after about three seasons. In an episode, two guys are looking for a car to steal, one of them wants to steal KITT, but the other talks him out of it, saying the car is too old. KITT gets some sort of self-esteem issue, and begs to have a facelift. Next thing you know, an 85 or 86 model was being used for KITT.

Is this really a good idea? If so let Bay have a crack at it! by Violator90	Dec 10th, 2007 06:51:51 PM
Seriously, what the fuck is going on?!? This new Knight Rider. . .project is going to blew donkey dick; big time! Some one pointed it out; this idea of an artifical intelligent car was great--back when technology was still new and bloom. But now?! Technology is so advanced and has so much possibilities that this idea of a new Knight Rider seems so lame and aimed for an nostalgiac audience-NBC hope that its a huge audience. But after the Bay TRANSFORMERS, we all knew what a car can REALLY do. Plus the last few seasons of Knight Rider was just plain stupid that I stopped watching as soon as I saw KITT as a convertible or surfing; which ever came first. This whole project seems stupid at this point in time. Unless KITT is an Autobot, then I'm in! Hey, KARR can be a Decepticon then we've got the BEST SHOW EVER IN HUMAN HISTORY!!!!!!! KNIGHT RIDER, directed by Bay! Want a concept!
