A former cop gets a new identity and teams with a talking supercar to fight crime after a wealthy benefactor saves his life. The chiseled lead actor had his fans, but the show was truly driven by the sleek, droll automobile KITT (Knight Industries Two Thousand), a customized Pontiac Trans-Am that kept the hero on the straight and narrow between fistfights and female conquests. A TV-movie reunited man and car in 1991, and a sequel series, `Team Knight Rider,' ran on ABC in 1997-98.

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.

Will Arnett Brings Knight Rider's Three KITTs to Life | Today's News: Our Take | 12/13/2007
Jack Donaghy is going to have something to say about this. Not being a gearhead, the most interesting thing I culled from NBC's press release about the Knight Rider relaunch movie premiering Feb. 17 is that Alec Baldwin's gravelly voiced 30 Rock rival, Will Arnett, will take the baton from William Daniels and speak for KITT. Or make that the KITTs, as the Transformers-esque update boasts not one but three supercars: a Ford Mustang Shelby GT500KR as "everyday hero" KITT; the KITT Attack, aka a high-speed version of the GT500KR featuring "air-ride technology and specialized body parts"; and KITT Remote, which is driverless (akin to having Lindsay behind the wheel).It's also confirmed that David Hasselhoff will return as Michael Knight in "a special guest-star appearance." read more

Knight Rider Revamp Gets Hasselhoffed | Today's News: Our Take | 11/20/2007
This was a no-brainer, wasn't it? And I don't just mean David Hasselhoff himself. The original Knight Rider is in talks to appear in the upcoming TV-movie/backdoor pilot, playing the father that soap hunk Justin Bruening's speed demon never knew. Deanna Russo, who recently played doctor on The Young and the Restless (Hoff's old stomping grounds), has also joined the cast as Bruening's old flame, a beautiful but brilliant engineer (aren't they all?) who is told by the talking car that her father is MIA. — Ben Katner read more
