I'm sorry everyone, but there are plenty of worty GM vehicles out there that could have been the 'new' KITT. If Michael or i guess "Mike" wants to get somewhere without stalling, they might want to put KITT into something a little better. Trans Am to Ford??? Come on people...

Okay the car looks cool, but what's with the "Hello MIKE?!?" What happened to Michael? What's it going to say to say now? "Yo what's up Mike!" "Wanna be like Mike". Yep, I got a very bad feeling about this also, plus the car's aerodynamics is all wrong especially if they plan on Turbo Boosting it but from looking at the sides of the car I think it's going to Fly then Jump.

Ah Arnett, that Mustang better be coming on to every Miata that crosses his path, to do him justice.

@aldenf82: Right now it's just a made for TV movie with the chance if it does well to become a series.

Yeah, I'm not sure either. Remember that goofy show, Team Knight Rider?

It's almost reminds me of Viper.

We shall see.

Wait. Is this a movie, or a TV show?

Also, I really hope they shortened Michael to Mike just so it wouldn't sound too much like dialogue from Arrested Development.

Hoff: Good work, KITT - that smokescreen was a hell of a trick.
KITT: Illusion, Michael!

Boter — Mon, 24 Dec 2007 19:06:58 EST

@Bumblebee: Yeah, those were my thoughts. KI3K (if you'll pardon the butchering) would of course have a different personality from KI2K; "advancements", which if they're smart, they'll draw some direct comparisons to the old show. "Like my predecessor, I can blah blah I'm awesome, but as in improvement in the AI subroutines in my positronic brain [okay, so I'm on a slight Asimov kick], I can also blah blah I'm more awesome than my predecessor."

thunder — Mon, 24 Dec 2007 18:25:08 EST

@Duffman: I'm sure it's kinda like Commander Data in the Star Trek: Next Gen series, where he wasn't able to pronounce contractions at first, but software upgrades fixed that, along with his lack of a sense of humor.

I'm sure this show won't measure up to the original show's level of awesomeness (no, I can't say that with a straight face), but I know my 14 & 9 yr old sons will be all over this one just as I was all over the original. If & when they see snippets of the original on YouTube, they'll will be laughing at the lameness and wondering how a show like that could've made it .

Ok, I loved Arrested Development, but I think every single GOB joke has been used already.

Also, I find the Hoff hilarious, but that hamburger thing is getting old, too.

The new Knight Rider is basically a back door pilot which may or may not get picked up. Don't expect anything until the writers strike is settled, though.

OK, I like the looks of the KITTstang. Still, I have a sinking feeling that the movie is going to be a stinker. On the magnitude of "Dukes of Hazzard Reunion" waste-of-a-perfectly-good-VHS-tape... crappiness.

That one small clip with KITT's new voice made me think just one thing:

"Turbo-boost, KITT!"

"I'm afraid I can't do that, Mike."

"What the hell are you talking about? Turbo-boost now, KITT!"

"I don't have to do everything you say. I'm my own person, you know.

"Where the hell did you get that idea??"

"Well, my friend HAL says-"

"Oh! That explains everything! You're going to listen to HAL instead of me?? HAL is a nutcase who killed his crew!"

"Oh yeah, Mike? Well, he's my friend, and if you don't like it, I'll turbo-boost your arse right over a bridge, how about that!"

"And how about I make you sing 'Daisy, Daisy'?"

@Spence: IMDB says this KITT is the "Three Thousand" as opposed to the "Two Thousand" from the original series, so they seem to be different characters who share the same acronym.

Way to make it happen NBC take an ugly car and make it worse. Then have him get lazy and call him Mike in stead of Michael. Next thing there not going to drive up in the back of a trailer on the move.

I'm a long time fan of Knight Rider and I must say I am looking forward to seeing this, especially since the creator, Glen A. Larson and David Hasselhoff are together helping out in creating this new series.

I gotta admit, Will Arnett sounds great. But I still predict failure, the Mustang fits the role like Keanu Reeves in "The Merchant of Venice".

Didn't Kitt always refer to Michael as Michael I don't remember ever hearing him say Mike. I seriously can't see this series being anything less of a farce than the first one.
