I was a fan of the original Knight Rider as it was a superhero, western, good guys versus bad guys kind of a show. Which is why it was so lame that David Hasselhoff hated jugglers on America's Got Talent.
The NEW KNIGHT RIDER 2008 I actually enjoyed the show it definitely had the same "root for the good guy" quality to it. The biggest STAR of the cast is actually KITT the car as it's voiced by Val Kilmer. I would really love to know what inspired him to do it. As his choices for roles are so specific and quirky. I guess playing a talking car is pretty QUIRKY. The original KITT was voiced by William Daniels
I would have to say the oddest part of the show was the gratuitous inferred sexual content in the beginning of the show. Apparently there was a Playboy connection to the promotion of the show. So it seems the producers dropped a beach establishing surfer Bay Watch shot of the female FBI Agent played by Sydney Poitier's daughter Sydney Tamiia Poiter
. The shot was of her coming in from surfing in the morning and taking a shower in a bikini on the beach to walking into her beach home to another woman.
The other sexual inferred situation was of the new star Mike played by soap star Justin Bruening waking up with two women. The weird thing was that after that happened everyone became a boy scout, a Walker Texas Ranger episode.
That being stated, I had a lot of fun being a kid again watching the new Knight Rider and i hope that the new show gets shot in San Diego, Ca so that our crews get some work.
