Knight Rider 2000, uh, 2007

Knight Rider Returns

http://entertainment.iafrica.com news/304172.htm

Comment: Does every 80s show need to be remade? Dukes of Crap-zard, Mimi Vice, and Chips now this…

(('Knight Rider', the 1980s TV show that forever lives on in re-runs and David Hasselhoff's memory, is set for the big screen.))

Well, that’s just lovely.

(('Knight Rider', which turned Hasselhoff into a global star when it originally ran from 1982 to 1986, focused on police detective Michael Long, shot and left to die but nursed back to health by a millionaire. He gets a new face, a new name (Michael Knight) and KITT (Knight Industries Two Thousand), a talking car fitted with artificial intelligence.))

Does this mean New Edition will make another appearance? Yes, My memory of the show so good that I actually remember that scene. They sing to the car.

"Knight Rider"
- Knight Song (1985)
TV Episode (as New Edition)

I don't care if it's going to stink, I am there, fourth row center. I wonder if they'll try to update KITT?

Maybe we can get a Street Hawk update, too?

I at least hope they keep Kitt retro. Street Hawk, man, I had to look that one up on IMDB
Useless facts
