*UPDATE* Sci-Fi's scheudle bot now confirms that Knight Rider is not on the January Schedule.

Now available on DVD in areas of Region 2 and 4 is the Best of Knight Rider, Two Disc Set. Universal Playback (the UK branch of Universal that releases TV shows on VHS and DVD) has released a collection of five episodes from the first two seasons. They include:

Trust Doesn't Rust (KARR's first appearance)
Knight of the Phoenix (Pilot)
Soul Survivor (whiz programer steals KITT)
Knightmares (Michael gets amnesia and reverts to his former Identify)
A Good Knight's Work (a man from the past hunts michael)

These episodes form a pretty solid selection of Knight Rider at its finest. While not being the definitive "Best Of" it gives a good showing, and only one episode on this set (the pilot) has been released to Region 2 and 4 DVD prior. Each episode has audio in English, French and German. Subtitles in English, Dutch, French and German.

Previous releases only had three episodes per disc. Lets hope for our European friends, that this is a sign of how things are going to be from now on, with a more extensive collection for the same price.

The set is available now at Amazon or your local DVD retailer.

David's website was updated Friday with some info on his new album release in Germany, visitors there take note:

"Friday, November 14, 2003....Message from David...FINALLY!!! I'm coming back to Germany! My new album, "My America" will be released by edel records first in Germany and Switzerland on Feb. 2, 2004. I will be visiting Hamburg, Erfurt and Munich this upcoming week to start promoting the album, and I'll be back again in January and February! I am looking forward to being back and seeing you all again soon! Keep Smiling!! xoxox David"

While we are glad to see that David is full into the promotion for the new album, it saddens us that movie preproduction will probably be put on hold, if it isn't already. As Sith, whom spotted the update, said: "Movie? What movie...?"

On Friday, nominations for this years Edwards awards had begun. The Edwards is a yearly event to honor the Knight Rider Fan Fiction community who are constantly hard at work at keeping the spirit of Knight Rider alive and is run by Knightimmortal of Knight Foundation.
