Can’t leave this ‘gem’ off the list - props tho for Simon MacCorkindale.

I always loved the implication that Michael was trapped had to just sit in the car while they fixed up KITT because there was no room to open the door inside of a semi trailer. Even squeezing in and out of the window would be awkward.
“Michael, watch the trim, I don’t want to have to wash off more boot prints.”
Also, is there a worse backronym in TV history than “Knight Industries Two Thousand”?

Geez, you could at least want a remake of the show “Wonderbug” ripped off; “Speed Buggy”.

Holy shit that’s just…awesome looking, and cheezy as hell with that music.
300 mph cybernetic attack motorcycle? My inner 13 year old is fist pumping.
Let me guess, this sucked- hard. How else have I never heard of this?

I didn’t even know about that one! I was thinking of the 2008 version.
Between the original, Knight Rider 2000, Knight Rider 2010, Team Knight Rider, and the 2008 version, I really can’t imagine what the movie might have that hasn’t already been done.
EDIT: Also, watched a couple promo videos for Team Knight Rider and GOOD LORD does it look terrible. There’ve been some people insulting the original in this thread, not entirely unfairly, but TKR makes just plain KR look like solid gold.

@gracchus: I so would’ve watched that. 
Seconding the Daniels motion.
@wazroth: I loved Misfits of Science! Courtney Cox’s first TV show as a lead!

I can imagine a scene where an angry senior citizen throws KITT into a creek because he was left on the sidewalk blocking a driveway.

The Fall Guy was the worst. I always imagined it was only a show as anexcuse to get young bikini models to a casting couch.
Every episode went like this: Lee Majors would discover an attractive woman with a problem. He’d take her to Howie and implore him to watch the girl while he solved the problem. After Lee left, the girl would say, “Howie, my dress is stuck in the closet”. Howie would investigate and get locked in. The girl would then get into trouble and at the end when Lee fixed everything, he’d let Howie out of the closet. Howie would then exclaim, “sorry the girl got away!”

Seconded. Even the name of the organization in the show is stupid, because “Knight Rider” was the name of the original show but was never a phrase used in-universe. It would be like if the crew of the Enterprise-D actually referred to themselves as “Star Trek: the Next Generation.”

Look at it this way, everybody…they could have greenlit a reboot of BJ and the Bear. I think we dodged a bullet.

The last original idea in the entertainment industry went extinct some decades back. Now we are stuck with recycled bad ideas.

I am thankful for modern television every time I am reminded of the shows I used to watch back in the 70’s and 80’s. Knight Rider wasn’t on my list, but the stuff that was wasn’t any better to be sure. Honestly, I don’t mind these reboots if they can do something that’s far better. The reboot of Battlestar Galactica was fantastic (for at least one season). But more often than not its just a money ploy, marketing nostalgia to an aging demographic eager to relive its childhood.
You forgot about the important parts; the fistfights and car explosions!
