Knight Rider Is Out of Gas

You know looking at images of the new Camaro I wouldn't mind the change.

But would KITT become KIFT?
 
^ I have a picture of one with a photoshopped hood scanner as my Desktop ATM.

Personally, back when this show was being developed I thought the Ford GT would be ideal. But, admittedly, prohibitively expensive to do on a TV series without resorting to a lot of CGI for the stunts.

...

Wait.

Just read this on Hulu's Knight Rider section



i just was reading TV guild weekly and read something very interesting.
they will not be back next season but they are retooling the show seems alot of peaple feel the ford( found on the road dead) is not the right car for the series.the shows prouducers are in talks with gm yes i said gm,for kitt to be retooled in to his former glory a gm.ladies and gentlemen the new camaro.
it about time to get rid of that crap ford and use what he was originally a gm
thx god and the lead man is also being replaced to.

This is...how many reboots now? The series was retooled from the pilot, the second portion on the season was retooled from the first, now a potential new pilot will be rebooting the whole thing with the same producers? Why not just blow K.I.T.T up and rebuild him from the ground up in a new body? This is what the two-hour premieres always did
You know it amazes me that some here could never take to the change that the Knight Industries TWO Thousand (a Trans Am) was made into a Shelby Mustang for the Knight Industries THREE Thousand, but yet can except the craptastic "ugly duckling" new Enterprise in the new movie. :rolleyes: :confused: :brickwall:
 
Looks like it is official, Knight Rider is no more.

I have to say I'll miss this show more than Sarah Connor Chronicles. Knight Rider was way more fun, mindless yes, but enjoyable and a fun ride. Plus many,many pool side scenes.

You'll be missed.

OT: I have the next show they need to do...

Knight Boat (the episode of The Simpsons where they were watching it was on tonight).
 
While I won't really miss the show, I will miss seeing the lovely Deanna Russo on a weekly basis. ;)
 
I'm sad about this as I've wanted to see a successful KR relaunch for years. This was the closest any version has come so far. What's frustrating is that there were only a few elements that needed tweaking and the show would've been so much better. They seemed to be "getting it" by the time of the retool but by then I fear it was too late. :(
 
Higher production values would have helped. The blue-screened scenery during the in-car sequences looked like something out of one of my mom's soap operas. Really pulled me out of the show.

I have to agree with that. Less money should have been spent on the KITT Cave.

Agreed on that count. It got much better during the latter half of the season, but the first six or so episodes were just bad when it came to those fx.
