Knight Rider

The Hollywood Reporter Succinctly Savages NBC’s Knight Rider

Sunday, March 9th, 2008

This is probably the best short TV review I have ever read. It just savages NBC’s remake of Knight Rider.

From the Hollywood Reporter:

Knight Rider
 The revival of “Knight Rider” on Sunday night should gladden the hearts of viewers, at least those employed by Ford. For the rest of us, the two-hour film — really, an elaborate commercial around which bits of story are sprinkled — was an exercise in prolonged car sickness.

Ouch!

Sometimes, KITT Just Happens

Thursday, January 10th, 2008

It’s not like the schlocky 80s NBC series Knight Rider was something to be mourned once it went into the great junkyard up above where cancelled TV shows go.

I mean David Hassellhoff, America’s greatest import to Germany after millions of tons of B-17 dropped bombs during WWII, as the lead?  A talking car? 

So of course, like a bad puce colored leisure suit, you want to re-tailor it and wear it now?

Ick.

But KITT is about hit the fan again, as NBC readies a “movie” version of Knight Rider.

But since My Buddy Shankar is so good to me, I’m going to go ahead and promote the show.  Perhaps they can work in that footage of Hassellhoff rolling on the floor in a drunken stupor eating a hamburger.  If they do that, then I’ll watch.

I thought I’d send over some teaser footage that went up on YouTube recently of NBC’s new Knight Rider series, coming Feb. 17, in case you thought your readers might be interested. Check ‘em out:
