Check this out: http://www.jossip.com/somehow-someway-ben-silverman-is-not-going-to-lose-his-job-20081114/ NBC peeps are happy with Ben Silverman. Supposedly, profits are up 50%. The reboot makes a lot of business sense: a) Knight Rider is profitable -- lots of car ads // Ford $$$ b) Actors are chea...

Sometimes networks do that and just launch a DVD instead. It's all about the ratings.

And Knight Rider endures :) I tried to watch My Own Worst Enemy. But episode 2 was horrible and 3 seemed like a total waste of time. For all its faults, Knight Rider is much cheaper to make and much more fun to watch. I firmly believe that Knight Rider survived because of: a) Ford support (launch pl...

Of course, I just think the concept is very similar. GST seems to be a Torchwood fan, so it would make sense that Torchwood was the inspiration for the non-TOS elements in Knight Rider.

I keep hoping the SUV will do something really cool when darting from one place to the other. I also wonder if the car has any gadgets/performance enhancements of note -- like KITT does.

If if you don't know/don't care about Torchwood, YOU HAVE TO SEE the sweet custom Range Rover pic I added to the post. Come on, I know you want to

Yeah, you're right! I think that's the visual cue that made me realize it. I was watching Torchwood yesterday and noticed the Contact HUD... It immediately made me think of Knight Rider. Nice rendition of Torchwood's SUV: http://www.freewebs.com/torchwoodlondon/Alien%20stuff/-%20New%20Folder/Torchwo...

I don't know if many in the KRO community noticed this, but Torchwood is a major influence on Knight Rider. For those who don't know Torchwood, here's the Wikipedia entry: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Torchwood 1. Both have a secret, underground base The KITT Cave and Torchwood's command center are ...

I called it!

You guys can write this down... Ratings are gonna go up and up and up

Taichi, I thought exactly the same thing. I was disappointed when KITT suddenly slowed down

We also got good ratings, which will go a long way towards the back 9.

Knight of the Iguana made me have a bad night when it aired. It put me in a terrible mood and I honestly feared for the show's survival. Last night's episode -- and the ratings, this morning -- make me 99% sure we'll get a the full "back 9" very soon.

I'm getting more and more hopeful. This week's episode was even better than Journey to the End of Knight . It was serious, poised, smartly written and full of cool sequences. The opening itself will be the benchmark by which other episodes will be judged -- just compare it with Knight of the Iguana ...

Everyone but stupid reviewers and KR fanboys loves the episode. You guys should check IMDB's forums -- there are several positive threads there. I'm afraid of next week's episode, though. It might be hampered by excessive Zoe-ness (no, having her in a bikini DOES OUT outweigh her shortcomings). Othe...

Cool! There's like... ONE YouTube video about it. KR's producers totally out-googled me on this one.

It's a "Predator" something. It's made in Romania. I found out about it at NBC's Knight Rider forum.

I was worried about Pushing Daisies as well. I personally hate it but the show was well-received by the press, in stark opposition to Knight Rider. TV can be like that. It's not all about quality (or the perceived quality). It's also about placement -- strategy. Pushing Daisies depends on a large, a...

I almost got teary when I heard that piece of dialogue. It OOZED of the original series' teases between Michael and KITT.

But I didn't see Mike engaging "Stealth Mode"...

http://knightrideronline.com/news/2008/10/two_clips_from_journey_to_the_end_of_knight.php Includes 2 sequences, "Bar" and "Road Race." and a brand-new, modified TURBO BOOST. Opinion: Still not sure about the new series idea of Turbo Boost. You'll know what I mean once you watch ...

One thing I noticed is that they tried to add straight lines to the Mustang's design. Notice how the profile gained sharp edges -- and also the triangular turn signal someone mentioned earlier. I think this is an attempt to bring the Mustang closer to the Trans Am. They want to please the old fans. ...

No. I work for a PR firm that only deals with video game / high-tech companies. This is just a hobby

I am a huge fan of Knight Rider. I used to watch it in Brazil when I was a kid, around 1987. I've been following the new show like a madman since I heard from it in Dec. 2007.

As much as KI3T is a prototype, unfinished and untested, the same could be said of the pilot. More so, it wasn't a true pilot but a "backdoor pilot". But what is a backdoor pilot? Backdoor pilots are made on the cheap, with heavy merchandise and guaranteed distribution. In short, the Knigh...

When you watch the original show, you realize how much time they had to do things w/ the car. That's because they ran 43-44 min each episode and didn't have to worry about an origin story. As the new KR goes into production, they'll be able to go into what makes KITT special. Less beauty shots and m...
