Knight Industry Threeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee Thousand
Okay, I’ve been disappointed by reincarnations of the Knight Rider mythos before. That Knight Rider 2000 crapola on UPN ten years ago was vomitiously bad. So, I reluctantly set the TIVO to record NBC’s Knight Rider. And it sat in the queque for weeks. Until today.
First off, I hate the daughter. She sucks as an actress and the backstory of her character makes zero sense. Why would a Stanford professor give it up to become a mechanic. Plus, Michael Knight doesn’t have a girlfriend. He just doesn’t. Like Captain Kirk.
But other than that, the show is pretty good. (It was okay and then the final shot of KITT backing out of a freaking plane, but it right over the top.)
Oh, the voice of KITT is wrong too. I don’t know why they just didn’t get the Boy Meets World Mr. Feeney guy to reprise. He already had the right rone of sarcasm and humor…but all in all. I’d watch it again. I like that “Mike” is Michael Knight son. So we’ll be seeing the Hoff again no doubt. I wonder if they’ll tell us what happened to the original KITT. And I wonder if there will be a K.A.R.R. MUAHHAAHHAHAHAHAAH
