In case you didn't know- his first wife was Catherine Hickland, who played Stevie in those episodes.

While it was sort of funny in a stupid way, thanks to this line I'll never think of the name Michael Long quite the same way again.

Kind of cheapens it, don't you think?

1) NO MORPHING 2) Get rid of this retarded looking Attack Mode 3) No KR logo underneath KITT 4) Get rid of the cobra logos and other Ford ad placement (everyone knows it's a Mustang- Duh) Some minor things – I still think the beginning of the theme song sounds better than the 2nd half with the guita...

Still not a Mustang fan, but I think the 2-hour movie had a better ATTACK MODE.

Sorry GST.

NBC's 'Knight Rider' is not up to speed By Robert Bianco, USA TODAY If we must pitch dreck at children, can't we at least make it age-appropriate dreck? There is much to despise in Knight Rider, a shockingly incompetent, barely coherent, ad-driven rip-off about a shape-shifting autobot that owes mo...

I have a feeling they want to keep the dashboard as close to an actual Mustang's as possible for product placement.

But I could be wrong.

Pretty sure it was confirmed to be David Hasselhoff....besides that - why else would they have darkened his face?

My personal opinion is that it's tacky and stupid to have KITT transform into anything else. It just doesn't seem like Knight Rider to me. He's the Knight Industries Two Thousand, not a transformer.

How does everyone else feel about it? Am I the only one that doesn't think it isn't necessary?

I agree with you wholeheartedly. Even if the new series is an absolute smashing success.

While I personally wasn't the biggest fan of this new pilot, I do think Val Kilmer was a good choice. We'll have to wait and see.

Very cool!

*Anticipation builds*

Sweet! Did you get to talk to him?

You guys make good points. I guess I was just a little irked to see him being referred to as anything else after being KITT for 26 years.

Just remember everyone, we still don't know (dare I say it) how the series with the Three Thousand is going to do....

Wow. Really?

KITT of course.

I have to disagree with you there.

I think the lack of topics is because of the lack of news. The 2008 NBC series will be here in another month while Larson's film is still being planned.

Oh man. I opened this thread thinking there were pictures inside...

Anyone?

I think it's only fair we share this with everyone else PHOENIXZERO...

A Real Pal and A True Friend!

Gah! You know what came into my head seeing that topic title? Anyone remember "My Buddy" dolls for boys? After a bit of time they made one for girls called "Kid Sister" and now I'm thinking "KITT Sister" with the jingle from the commercial. >_< Never owned one and afte...

Guess I haven't watched ET in awhile.....Crest Whitestrips?

I don't know. Guess I can't really get past the creation of the whole Charles Graiman character in the first place. So unnecessary and sloppy that David Andron couldn't work more off the original storyline.

I don't think that just because there's a new Knight Rider, we should start referring to the original car any differently.

He's not KI2T!

With a new intro would we also get a new song?

Well that's a Monday, so unless NBC moves it between now and then, it's not likely to be on that day regardless of whether or not it's canceled.

I like it.

What makes you think you know more about what's needed to make the show a success? You're in love with a show that which was successful over 20 years ago. Things have changed since then. Audiences are more sophisticated and picky now. They have more options available to them: Internet, Cable, Satel...

I think the coolest thing about the new Knight Rider series is the fact that Justin Bruening was a fan growing up. He's also said he considered it an "amazing honor" to be taking over the MK role. That's pretty classy IMO.
