Knight Rider - Season 3 has finally been announced, with the studio providing a January 31st release date. "Bonnie" (Patricia McPherson) returns to the cast after taking the previous season off...just in time to give K.I.T.T. a much-needed repair job and a technology upgrade as well. This set, which fans have been anxious for since last April's release of the second season, will sell for $49.98 SRP and come on 3 double-sided DVDs. The show will be presented in the original full frame video and with original English mono sound. Subtitles are in English, French, and Spanish.

Running just under 18 hours, this set has 21 episodes, including the double-length season opener "Knight of the Drones". Other hot episodes this season were "K.I.T.T. vs. K.A.R.R.", "Knight In Disgrace" and "Junk Yard Dog". Guests included the NFL's Jim Brown, plus Jared Martin, Terri Treas, Jean Hasselhoff, Jason Bateman, Alan Oppenheimer, Christopher McDonald, James Cromwell, Randi Brooks, Judy Landers, and Richard Herd.

David posted on his website this week, and with it launched a campaign to drum up interest for a world tour in Australia.

David appeared on the Australian show "Rove Live" this week. We are getting reports that he spoke briefly about the status of the movie.

Daemonicus666 reports:

As im speaking Hassellhoff is on Rove LIve (which for you overseas ppl is a talk show here in Australia). I just had to rush online to let you know the movie is definitly in develpoment. He hints at a possible father and son team for the movie (Michael & Son). Also, he mentions that the producers or what not (in earlier drafts I assume) did not actually what KITT to talk in the movie and wanted to make it like a satire like how the Starksy and Hutch movie was. But luckily they got the rights back and the movie will be faithful to the series and us fans will enjoy it. Knight Rider also still remains the favourite show he has done.

More info as we receive it.

Also, MrPayner informed us that Knight Rider Online was listed on Australian Yahoo New's HOFFice Attachments page! Welcome to all that are visiting from Australia and I hope you enjoy our site.
