Knight Rider 2008 returns tonight.

From TV.com:

A new virus spreads through out all the computers threatening total annihilation, Mike is assigned the job to stop this virus from spreading. Only things become more problematic when KITT become a victim of the virus. Meanwhile, Sarah meets up with an old boyfriend and Mike has a distinct reaction.

I thought Knight Rider wasn't returning until January?

Chaos Descending · December 31 2008, 04:13 PM

I guess you thought wrong.

It's on tonight.

cardinal biggles · December 31 2008, 05:01 PM

You've got the wrong episode name & number, Trekker. It should be: 1x09 "Knight Fever"

No kidding. I checked the local listings and it stated it's a new episode. Weird, since the last episode broadcast announced it would return in January. Oh well.

Well screw.

This was noted as the newest episode this morning on TV.com. Unless I misread or was seeing soem wacky old cache file rather than the newest version of the page.

As for it returning in January. It's December 31, I'd say we're "January enough."

I wonder what the ratings will be like. Probably much, much lower because of people going out tonight. Then again where I live there are blizzard warnings.

New Years Eve really isn't a good night to air a new episode

Maybe maybe not. With the way the economy is right now it's been said that far more people are staying home and here we have a show that is all new.

But it's certainly a risk and maybe even doesn't show much confidence in the show from NBC and they're just trying to burn off the remainder of it.

So, next week we got CopKITT. And apparently it is KITT vs. The Terminator.

Trekker4747 · January 1 2009, 03:21 AM

Watching the DVR of it right now -went out with friends for dinner.

the legs of KARR looked more like transformer-ish

cardinal biggles · January 1 2009, 06:51 AM

I showed my brother the pic of KARR when I was home for Christmas, and he had pretty much the same reaction you guys did: "Woah, a rejected Decepticon?"

Mr. Adventure · January 1 2009, 07:46 AM

Catching up with it now. That was a really good episode, maybe the best yet, the science is still suspect (to be kind) but the pacing, action, even the music was great. That opening action sequence teaser was pretty cool for a TV show. It's too bad with the news that they're canning the extra cast since I thought it seemed like they finally figured out how to make them work, even Sydney Poitier (her father was cruel naming her) seemed decent.

Have we seen that plasma cannon and missiles before? I don't remember that much firepower.

Fun episode. It was better than I expected considering this ep was an earlier one that kept getting shifted over in the slots. I really enjoy the development of KITT's personality and his fear of dying was well done. The science was hokey, but it's hardly anything that hasn't been seen in other scifi shows so I wasn't too taken aback by it.
