Knight Rider: Stuck in Reverse | Roush Dispatch | 2/18/2008
So I come back from a week away, and what should await me but a time warp to a long-forgotten (and happily so) era of kitschy schlock. Courtesy, naturally, of NBC, whose new regime appears to be operating under an embargo banning anything with a shred of originality. Two hours of American Gladiators (which I skipped) followed by two hours of Knight Rider (which I forced myself to endure). Fasten your seatbelts. It’s going to be a forgettable night — unless you enjoy the rubbernecking spectacle of watching a network slip further into the abyss of cultural irrelevancy. (You doubt me? I guess you missed the promos for Monday’s newest reality gem, My Dad Is Better than Your Dad.)The new (more or less) Knight Rider wasn’t really a show, it was more like the longest car ad in human memory: “Brought to you by the star of our show, (name of car).” Almost made you pine for the good old days of the writers’ strike.Despite a few contemporary touches —... read more
Jeers: A Not-So-Good Knight Rider | Cheers & Jeers | 2/18/2008
Jeers to Knight Rider for stalling at the starting line. I was never a fan of the original '80s series — in the Hasselhoff canon, my taste veers more to Baywatch — but it was more entertaining than this crap-tastic remake. As the voice of KITT 3000, the monotonous Val Kilmer sounded like he literally phoned in his performance (original choice Will Arnett, who had to drop out due to a sponsorship conflict, would've been more fun). New driver Justin Bruening is one bland slab of beefcake, and the special effects looked slapped together on roughly the catering budget for Transformers. Seriously, the Hoff's drunken-burger video was less embarrassing.For another take on Knight Rider, read the Roush Dispatch.• Read and react to Bruce's opinions on Lost's "rescue" team, CBS' Welcome to the Captain, the return of late-night TV and more!• Share your own raves and rants about other shows on the Reader Cheers & Jeers discussion board.• We may feature your Cheer or... read more
Knight Rider Gets Resurrected | Today's Top Videos | 2/15/2008
It may not be the same as it was back in the '80s when the Hoff was showing off his chest hair, but none the less, we're really looking forward to seeing how the TV-movie remake turns out. Taking Hasselhoff’s place in the movie is All My Children alum, Justin Bruening, playing ex-army ranger Mike Traceur. Val Kilmer as the voice of KITT will take some getting used, but the fact that the Hoffster will be making a cameo as Michael Knight makes everything a-OK.

Preview: Knight Rider Is Back! | TV Guide Interviews & Features | 2/15/2008
Knight Rider airs Sunday at 9 pm/ET, NBC. The realization hit Justin Bruening the moment the Ford Mustang Shelby GT500KR slammed its own doors. At 28, Bruening was only six when the original Knight Rider, which made a star of David Hasselhoff, roared off into TV mythology. Now, as the former All My Children actor slid into the Hoff's old seat behind the wheel of the franchise's signature (but updated) supercar, he felt the moment. "We have a version of the car that's driven by remote ... read more
New Knight Rider Teaser | Today's Top Videos | 12/28/2007
Knight Rider Gets a MakeoverForget the Hoff, there’s a new mustang-driving badass in town come the New Year. NBC has recently released the official teaser for the upcoming two-hour Knight Rider TV movie. Looks like KITT is moving up in the world now that he’s been upgraded to a sick 2008 Ford Mustang Shelby GT500KR (click here to check out the ride), and has a new manly voice (Arrested Development’s Will Arnett). A word of advice: the teaser is only a whopping 15 seconds long, so whatever you do, don’t blink!For more great videos, check out our Online Video Guide now! read more
