Proving that old can be new again, NBC has given the remake of
Knight Rider a series order, says
Variety. The show was given a test-drive as a two-hour made-for-television movie back in February, and high ratings made everyone at the network drool and thumbs-up more K.I.T.T. and company.
Variety speculates
Knight Rider will be parked in a Friday-night time slot. The new
Knight Rider retains the team of a man and a talking car (now voiced by Val Kilmer) from the original, but throws in contemporary times and new characters. An official announcement is expected Wednesday when NBC announces its 2008-2009 schedule! The original show was great and I am sure this remake will be great as well!
