KITT Makes A Comeback
December 12th, 2007It seems such a long time ago that my brother and I would plonk ourselves down in front of the TV every Sunday morning to watch Knight Rider with the Hoff. The show had a winning theme - the idea of a smart sports car that can think for itself, let alone respond to voice commands, would be lapped up by kids our age without much hesitation.
Naturally, I was pleasantly surprised to learn that the famous KITT (re-christened as the Knight Industries Three Thousand) is making a comeback - and as soon as February 17th in the US, and the central character will be played by a 540-hp Ford GT500KR (with the voice of Will Arnett). David Hasselhoff will be returning as a much older Michael Knight, while the lead (human) character would be played by Justin Bruening. This time around, however, I hope the show can build some not-quite-wafer-thin plots around the central theme, compared to the ones in the 80s series.
