Synopsis

On the heels of NBC's hit movie, the iconic 1980s television classic comes roaring back to life as a reinvented, updated and super-charged action series showcasing the new KITT (Knight Industries Three Thousand). Absolutely the coolest car ever created, KITT is equipped with an "AI" (artificial intelligence) that is capable of hacking almost any system. Its weapons systems match that of a jet fighter, and its body is capable of actually transforming into other vehicles and using sophisticated holographic imagery to elude villains.

dvdking44 Some of the reviews on here are crazy. This series was good. i love the original and i love when the brought it back. keep your mind open people. Everything does not have to be just like the original. If it was then why remake it anyway? I hate the series ended so soon. it was nice to see KIT back in action. Good TV. But everyone only want to see stupid reality shows that is not reality at all. Fighting and cursing. Just my opinion but lets keep an open mind. Knight rider was a classic but this remake was good for TV. To bad the rest of you don't think the same but hey lest's watch flavor of love now thats TV. LOL. Peace out Bitches.
sikamikaniko This remake is a sacrilegious bastardization of a true TV classic. I understand that it wouldn't be feasible to have a 1982 Firebird fighting crime in 2008, but at least keep it within reason.One of the great things about the original is that all the technologies could exist, as futuristic as they seemed back then. Not once did KITT ever turn into a Transformer. Even today, that's so far-fetched it's ridiculous.The producers should have kept in mind the original audience of KR and catered to them. What's the point of using the KR name to develop a show that has nothing to do with the original premise? They could just as easily have called it "Fast and Furious Transforming Rider" and it wouldn't have made a difference. There's more to Knight Rider than a name and a red light on the front of a car.
Gregory Honestly, the new series felt like TKR in so many aspects, but the writers didn't do their homework, and like TKR it also was an unsuccessful spin-off. That wasn't even a big shocker really.The first half of the series was horrid and seamed like a crossbreed between the original series 100 words or less plot summary and the "Transformers" live action movie it was inspired on. Seriously. The transformers were a cool brand name and many people paid to see the movie once. But there is a difference of success in profit, and success in making something we would watch again. The first halve of the series had too many subplots, adult teasing in every episode and one big fiction no sense conspiracy. Its literally "writers gone wild".The original KITT was a simple car with an integrated super PC and extra features, all covered in an invisible armor jell or something like that. The new KITT was anything but simple. Many features seamed too appear out of nowhere and were never seen again when needed. Is the new transforming shell liquid like in the film, or plate? Sometimes the system couldn't do simple things like visually track planes through a satellite, but the next time it seamed like they could hack pentagon. That got really annoying really fast.When the viewers got fed up of this (insert your emotion response here) and made it clear to stop watching an insult to the original series, the writers realized they were so close to getting fired, they finally started to take it seriously and went to what we were expecting. The cast went down to 4 main human characters and became more about a regular detective show. Some of the episodes after the KARR battle were good to watch, but it was too late and had the writers done so in the first place, the series might have lived for another season or two.In TKR I really liked not only the new cars (more than one) special abilities, personalities (yeah, they could simulate emotions), but mostly the vertical flight super plane. The practical idea of the original knight semi was something we all wanted to do at least once in our lives. Here we were given almost no practical effects, just plane effect. Explain to me how spinning KITT helps scanning the exterior? Explain to me what happened to the pilot who wanted to bail out of the carrier plane and why did the carrier plane explode in the first place? You cant without using the words "writer", "looks cool" and "developer".Worst of all the series had some of the original development crew form the original series. I kept asking myself, what happened to these people? Why did they make this so different from the original that we can't recognize it? Did they stood up and tried to make a change before the verdict on the show was made? So many questions.Maybe it's me, but it seams like there is a failure curse on all the Knight Rider spin-offs. Hell, they even didn't beat TKRs 22 episode marker. Really sad.
