Knight Rider NOT canceled says Gary Scott Thompson

With our latest visit to the set there was one nagging question on our minds. Does the reduction in the episode order signify the series cancellation? Show Runner Gary Scott Thompson reassured us with his answer in the following video.

Transcript available after the jump.

Hey Knight Rider fans, Gary Scott Thompson here. We are on the set of episode 117 which will be the season finale. So far we have expended about 4000 rounds of ammunition, which is lying all over the ground, you can see all these shot up cars. We have a really great season finale for you.

The show is not cancelled. We're doing a reboot and, a lot of folks don't know this, but NBC not only cut costs by cutting episodes, which they did on a bunch of shows. They also just laid off 750 people yesterday in their production offices and their other offices. So this is a cost-cutting measure, it is not a cancellation measure.

So... Writing letters, though! Write a lot of letters to NBC telling them that you want Knight Rider back. To Ben Silverman at NBC!

  • Dozer
    Please don't cancel the show, I guess I'm a bit late but look at all the comments on this site, people love it. I am a HUGE Ford guy and have been since I was a little kid. I love the GT500KR KITT. I like the fact that he can transform and go 300 mph. If it's the lack of viewers your worried about? I bet with the return of the 2008 series will bring people in. I think if you put Mike and Sarah in a relationship, that would make it seem like it's not all about KITT which got better after you killed Dr. Graimen and Alex Tores. I like the whole "lets keep going" mood of the whole thing. I'm glad that they are not a government agency anymore. They have a lot more freedom and less protocol. anyway I hope you will restart the series I know I would watch it, me and several others!

    If they had more Hoff and some of the Old Cast Members Make Cameos for The Storyline Continuity, then the New Knight Rider Show would have Rocked! The Ratings are Such a Scam Nowadays. There's Waaaaaaaaaaaay More Programming on Air Now than Ever Before. Why On Earth do people Still Use Ratings To Judge a Great Show? I think this Series was TRULY AWESOME!!! I would Like to See More Seasons! I don't have Cable, but I would Pay Per View Just to See This Show Shine like it was doing scince it's Inception! I saw the Movie Pilot and 3 Eps and Think it's Absolutly Fantastic! Like someone posted Earlier....The Hoff Should have made More Appearances on the Show to Solidify it's Exsistance. Screw Reality TV & You Tube Footage of The "Drunken Hamburger Scene with The Hoff!!!" That was Just him being Plain Silly and Venting to the World, That's All! Shhhhheeeeeeesh!!! See How People Judge and Label True TV Legends of the Small Screen! Ridiculous!

    why did they cancel the show please dont cancel it i love this show
  • danny spence
    i love the show make lots more seasons please don't cancel please
  • Fredie121
    this show was great. i so hope that the bring back at least a second season of it.
  • aetuk
    Please don't cancel the show
  • JLA
    I actually liked Knight Rider, just because it seemed a little more realistic...not all of it of course...but a lot. I really think they should put it back on. I think it was very interesting!
  • Devonevans13
    you could make kitt have a personality like when he was infected and make him start having feelings and the turbo boost side ways was amazing. do more like that. Knight Rider forever
  • Devonevans13
    more action and more realistic...and quit killing everyone its fucking retarted
  • Pat
    Please bring Knight rider back... i love it to bits... and i like everything about the new knight rider .... i love KITT and his sense of humour.... please... please...pretty please
  • transam
    glad they cancelled. shouldn't have used a mustang...
  • danny spence
    the mustang GT 500kr was perfect
  • Cegma1
    So its better than nothing
  • Fredie121
    I honestly can't see why the new show has to be just like the old one. If you liked the old one so much why don't you go and watch it, and stop bagging the new one. Why can't some people just accept change!!
  • A1C Sean C Hegstad
    can i beat your scull in with a wrench. this series did an amazing job with thew show as a man whom hates fords i moves on from the old. i gew to love it and just get over the fact its not a trans am. i own a 1977 trans am and wached the original all my child hood. im a die hard knigt rider fan. NBC should bring it back and put it at a better time. it was set up for failure and so call the "monkeys" at NBC to bring it back at a more popular time and give it a chance.

    Unfortunately the show is cancelled...although hopefully we can persuade NBC (or someone else) to 'restart' it.

    They put it on in America at Prime-time...which in my opinion was partly the reason for the 'low' viewing figures that they stated were the reasons for the shows cancellation. The slot they should have used is about 2pm on Saturdays - which was when the old Knight Rider used to be on back in the 80's incidentally.

    Personally I liked both old and new versions, and its a shame to see it go, so yes, sign the petition above or log on the NBC website and send them a 'contact us' mail.
  • edml
    I like the show. I would not like to see it canceled.

    There are many minor things that could be improved, but this is only my opinion. What I consider improvement, may not be an improvement for another person.

    Anyway, those are minor changes. What I think that everyone agrees with is that there should be a general storyline, if I may call it that way. There should be something that bounds together the episodes.

    There should be something that will make watching the episode a 'must'. You can make the ridiculous comparison: compare the series with a telenovela. Why do many women don't want to loose an episode from the telenovela (if they watch telenovelas, of course)? Because all the episodes are sharing a similar story. Of course, I don't want something cheesy, but I would love the majority of the episodes to have something in common. Of course, having some episodes as a break would also be a good idea. I mean episodes that don't have much in common with the general storyline.

    Just my thoughts.
  • ZypHer
    The show doesnt have to be like the old one!
    It would be boreing!
    The transforming is a bit too much but that kitt can be under water makes sence! the old one float!
    I like the changes they have made!
    And the mustang fits perfectly;)

  • Dawn Berlitz

    I miss knight rider at a knight rider board u have may seen me on we are in a huge debate over knight rider not being on I loved it flag was just in its beginging stages and they havent released anymore episodes so far all the current shows are junk like the office heck knight rider could eat that show for breakfast knight rider was just really getting good and they done this to us fans I am a Kitt fan he is one awesome car i would love to drive

  • Kimberley

    Hey anybody able to tell me if Knight Rider has been cancelled or not because most of the sites I've been on have said it is and there is nothing new on the NBC website.

    Knight rider rocks, I actually prefer the new series but that just because I'm was really young when the old series was on and never got to watch it. I think the new series is more believable. Also love the relationship between KITT and Mike (Mike is HOTT!) and also Sarah and Mike.

  • Donna Card

    Hi i am a old knight rider fan. I have seen every episode. I also hacve seen the ne knight rider and love it just the same,Especially now that the bond between michael and kitt is growing. I do not think you should cancell the show. I am curios to see how the far the bond between michale and kitt can go. I very raely watch tv anymore i hate most od the shows that are on enioght is enough with all teh reality tv shows its about time we get back to show like knight rider airwolf.and a lot of other show of this type.Peoople are depressed now thya need these kind of shows to let their depreseion go fpr awhile i also beieve their should be more of dsvid hassolhof as mikes dad so they can repair the problems between. them.

  • Rob Slevin

    ...Hope Knight Rider runs another 10 seasons, it's the best show out there.So much better than the dire 'lost'.

  • Kasper

    I Love the new knight rider.. I like im a boy again sitting infront of the tv watching the show. I really hope that you will keep on making seasons.. Love season 1. We are alot of people who wants to see more! KEEP THE SHOW ON!

  • Mark

    I am 31 years old and never missed an episiode of the original in the 80's. I absolutley love this new show and still never miss an episode. (in UK so we still have season 1 running). I hope they continue to make many more seasons. My only complaint is the transforming thing. Other than that, great, long live knight rider!!

  • techdude89

    Don't cancel Knight Rider NBC. Knight Rider has made you Famous.



    Spead the word and i'm sure you'll get more viewers. Everybody seems to love it so keep it!

  • Brad

    Please Please do not cancel the Knight Rider series! I have sent letters, emails and signed the petition and have gotten my friends to do the same. The show has gotten better and better since the first episode. Let the dream live on!

  • roger

    I loved the original Knight Rider, and the latest series is great, i hope there will be a lot more shows to come. The new car is fantastic,so PLEASE PLEASE do not cancel the show loyal fan.Thanks

  • Anthony Kane

    As a devoted UK Knight Rider fan I think the new series of Knight Rider is fantastic. Despite what people have said about episodes not being quite as good as the original and doing a reboot, I have liked every one so far. I wish NBC would not cut costs on such a good series. I hope that there is a second season as everything about it has grown on me. It is like when I was a kid again watching the original all over again. It gives me the same buzz as it did then. Well done to everyone involved. Keep Knight Rider alive and roll on season 2! I can’t wait!!!

  • Russell

    Is Knight Rider cancelled? I hope not. I love the show. I loved the 80s original... but the new show is briliant! It's up-to-date, the stories are great, Deanna Russo is HOT and KITT is amazing. The new Michael Knight is also pretty cool! I'm like a big kid at Christmas and I hope one of the networks picks it up for a second season... my wife and I are moving from the UK to the US in a few weeks... I'm trying to persuade her to let me buy a black mustang! Please bring the show back!!!

  • marc from UK

    As a uk fan of the old KNIGHTRIDER i think the new KNIGHTRIDER show is excellent, absolute genius, not missed an episode yet, it would be a great shame to cancel the show after just one series. I do think that DAVID HASSLEHOFF could do a few more cameos and maybe bring back bonnie and RC for one show. The producers and writers have done a fantastic job bringing the show up to date from the 80s knightrider and I for one would be gutted if the show gets cancelled. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE keep up the good work.

  • terry

    I think this is one of the best shows out in a long time. I really like the connection and bond that is growing between Mike and Kitt, keep it up. I really wish that Charles was not killed off. I think he could have offered a lot to the show still. maybe he parachuted down somewhere and was lost or had amnesia? possible? cant wait for season one on DVD.



    Notice this NBC.... people love this show, keep it on!!!!

  • diziyi yayınlayın lütfen ? TÜRKİYE bu diziyi bekliyor

    Seems as the actually good, NON-real life based shows are getting canned, this sucks i hate TV now

  • Jess

    I really enjoy this show. It's entertaining. It's supposed to be impossible. I'm glad they're outside the system now because I always thought of FLAG as a watch dog agency. Governments have agenda's so how was FLAG working with them? That aside, it was still an hour of entertainment instead of the realty TV crap that's cheap to produce and painful to watch. Please don't cancel this show.

  • jeff

    i want the Knight Rider back~~

    i start from old Knight Rider untell now~~

  • Josh

    Is KR coming back for a second season or no?

  • SBristow

    Hey, NBC! I'm an overseas KR fan! Please, bring back our show! It's such a pleasure to me watch KITT and Mike, Sarah and Billy!

    So, DON'T CANCEL THIS AMAZING SHOW!

    Thanks!

  • Odilon

    Where's Knight Rider????



    please, have to back....

  • Nascar Dave

    The new Knight Rider needs to have the essence of the old show to succeed! I miss the old K.I.T.T. and Michael.

  • What they should do is cut the bull and, and hide the mystery, and go mobile on the road, ditched the massive building get a mobile semi unit and and quote KITT (2008) is an updated version and make and have him finding trouble, c'mon think about a run in with the original Knight Industries, and and have cameos, like Hasslehoff, McPhereson, and FOR CRYING OUT LOUD do some real jumps cut the CG that'll cut cost. who'd love to see a 100MPH Turboboost without CG? Anyone?

  • William

    I absolutely love the new show. I am a fan of the old show and I was WAITING for a new incarnation. I love the things that others hate. I love the transformation thing. I guarantee that if they would have had the computer graphics in the 80's that we have now that the original KITT would have transformed. Look at super pursuit mode. Need I say more. I love, love, love this show and I am so glad that this great show is not cancelled.



    CANCEL THE REALITY TV BRING ON THE KNIGHT RIDER!

  • mason

    my email is turnermason@gmail.com

  • mason

    i will do my best to get it back on the air i will send a email to all of you . and i will take the place of the cordanator

  • Tim

    Please Do Not Cancel This Show, it was just getting good. Mike needs to go out on assignments just like in the old knight rider for the FLAG team, Val Kilmer is great for the voice and has a great sense of humor between Mike and himself. Please find a way to keep this show going for more seasons. Thank you.

  • Giselle

    I watched the Knight Rider episodes a few days ago and i LOVED them.

    I know i watched them so late after the season finale but i still loved it. and if this interview didn't take place so long ago i would believe that Knight Rider isn't being canceled, Which i would HATE but i still think it might be...

    I really want this show to continue and it would help if someone could update me on the current situation of Knight Rider...

  • Jeremy

    The show is great i love the car being a mustang and the cast. Me and my wife and kids watch it.So dont kill the show please.

  • Keith A Noel

    K.I.T.T. has a lot of action , with a great new cast, this is the usa we like Knight Rider,What about filming some ep overseas, i was wondering about the TEAM KNIGHT RIDER series, why has this not been release on dvd yet? If i remember his daughter was trying to find out what happen to him,there are some shows to be made with Team Knight Rider,meets up with Kitt, well thank Mr,Larson just may Scott, mith need a little bet of help thankyou for your time ..

  • anonymous

    THIS SHOW RULES!!!



    The car is Awesome!!! Val Kilmer as the voice of KITT, what could be cooler?!!!! Even though the nano-skin and transformations are unrealistic, the transformers movie was very popular and proves people dig the futuristic approach. It's not supposed to be deep, or replicate every detail of the original- it's just supposed to be fun, action-packed and awesome... which it is!!! I hope it keeps going strong.



    More mystery, more action, I can dig it. Zoe, not my favorite character- it's the writing though, not the actress. Hasselhoff's return would be great, unfortunately it would be lost on younger viewers, the primary audience for this show.



    THIS SHOW RULES!!!

  • Tom

    I hope this show will not be canceled.


    The new KITT, the new Michael, the new crystal ball voice box of KITT took some getting used to in this series, but now I can't get enough. I haven't missed one episode all season long. TO NBC - Please leave Knight Rider on the air. Let it ride one more season to see if the reboot works for people.

  • cc

    i stiil like original much better besides also owning a 86 trans am when you pull up a stoplight and everyone around looks because you just dont see 80,s trans am anymore

  • Isaac Whitmore

    Please bring back Knight Rider. Also, do not get rid off any of the cast they have now;all the characters you have now are great!

  • bill

    bring kitt back get rid of realality crap

  • William

    A second season pickup would be great, so would assigning a creative producer and writing team that actually knows how to write.



    I mean COMMON, you buildup the the KARR story arc only to resolve it in a battle lasting all of 15 seconds. Do you all remember the battles in the original series. It took a lot out of Michael and out of Kitt. It was drawn out for a reason.



    And perhaps, gee I don't know, stop making sexual references every 20.5 seconds. We get it!!!! Seriously we all get it. We got it the first 200 times. Perhaps but a little more work into writing stories and a little less into that for starters.



    Huge fan here but seriously, new writer needed because if you can't agree that this show could be so much more than it is, then that is just sad guys.

    As a child of the 80's I loved the original Knight Rider. As an adult, I really like the new show. The 80's show appears old now (like watching Batman and Robin wearing tights). Too many people are criticising the show for being too far from the original but we are in a new age now and Trans-Ams are old and CGI is new. Seeing the Hoff with his mullet, denim jeans and cowboy boots was fine at the time but this show needs to be here and now and in my opinion, it is. We don't get this show in the UK so I've downloaded every episode and watched them. I am impressed. A show in the 80's directed towards young teens is now a new show in it's own right and directed at kids and adults alike. I love the new show, I love the CGI (no more ramps behind bushes :-) ). Only one criticism and that is give us more action, more jumps, more speed, some ski mode maybe. James Bond made corkscrew jumps in the 70's, give us some of that stuff too like the bridge jump a couple of episodes back, excellent stuff. Keep up the good work and keep it on air.

  • This is a good show that has potential to be greater! Less boobs, more story! KITT also needs to get super-pursuit mode back, and do more turbo boosts. Shape-shifting is all very well, but back in the Hoff's day no crime couldnt be solved by driving fast and jumping over things.

  • Justin

    I thought KR got off to a rocky start. But about midway through the season things got really great, especially when they got rid of the SSC! Please bring this show back!

  • dan

    Also i think they should stop showing Law And Order how old it that? GET it off! I would love too c more Sarah!!

  • dan

    Where in the hel. is Knight rider! Get that s*%t back on!!

  • MVK88

    No man NO MORE HOFF!! The show was fine as it was, killing off Sarah's daddyio was bad but this kitt looks less shit, sounds less gay and Justin is better than stupid cheese-o-rama hoff.



    Get out with Hoff requests



    OUT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    I love the new knight rider. My friends here in Australia saw the Pilot and loved it. They want to see more. the idea of the sexual tension between Zoe and Billy is hilarious. And the sexual tension between Mike and Sarah is hot. There's nothing wrong with them rekindling their old relationship. He loves her and she loves him. That's the way we want it. It's nice that they stay true to each other. Love everything about the new series. We in Australia are excited about the new season and want it to continue.

  • Glenys Tran

    I love night rider and so do all my friends. Please don't cancel it. So many shows now are the "Soapie" style with deep serious depressing stuff. Knight rider new series is full of fun and excitement and chemistry and fantasy. Its a refreshing change from the usual shows that keep running for years. We like light fun shows. Life is serious and depresing enough. We need shows like Knight Rider to cheer us up. Light humor goes a long way. I've shown all my friends parts of the new episodes and they are all keen to watch. The guys think Sarah is hot and the girls including me think Mike is very very hot. I also like that the FBI are out of the picture. Please don't cancel. More knight rider for all of us

  • Tom

    As a fan of the original show, I was somewhat worried about the new show with a Mustang. I love the show and hope there will be a second season and beyond. The show is better now without the FBI involvement. I would however like to see less of the guns in KITT. I always wanted a Trans Am, even before Knight Rider, but this show has shown me the Mustang in all its glory, and they are available in the UK.



    The characters are great, but I agree that KITT needs a mobile workshop to allow the show to go more across country. It would also be nice to see the Hoff in a few episodes. An idea for a future show could involve the original KITT teaming up with the new. After all we did see several Trans Ams in the pilot, so there are always possibilities.



    The KARR subplot was good until we had the transformer robot. That spoilt it. Good to have the original voice though.



    NBC great show, keep it up.

  • Glen

    I actually enjoy watching the new KR. I think that it is pretty cool to be able to still have some features of the the shows.



    I agree with some of the people here though, there has to be a semi. Traveling back and forth across the country and no where to park the car at time and tune it up, is kinda strange. Atleast with the old shows KITT could drive right up to the truck and roll right it.



    Now the one that I do like is that you transform that car into a truck. There was the one episode where you incognito, and transformed the car into the old muscle car mustang, that was awesome.



    I really enjoy watching the show every Thursday on my computer when I come home.



    Keep it up I think the show is doing really well.



    Oh, there is one more thing, Try and make an episode where they can turn all the Power back on at the SSC and be able to use the robots more too.



    Peace Out.

  • Nicholas

    I loved the original and I am loving this new version, Listen up people its been 20 years technology has advanced deal with it.



    Its getting more and more into the spirit of what the old series was like but people are going too far in comparing the new to the old which isnt right.



    If they did make it just like the 80's people would still complain that they are ripping the classics off wtf.



    Get a life, turn your brain off and enjoy some entertainment.



    REALITY TV SHOWS BURN IN HELL

  • marciomiguel

    well hoff is missing but i also love this show not so bad keep online thanks

  • CJW

    One big improvement the writers could make to this show is to create an overarching story line that keeps viewers hooked from week to week.



    I was watching episodes of the old KR on DVD a while back, and although I enjoyed them, one thing that struck me is that television writing has gotten a lot more sophisticated in the last 20 years. Shows like the original KR, The A-Team, Airwolf, etc. were purely episodic. Each episode had its own self-contained plot. This made it easy for new viewers to start watching, but did little to keep pulling viewers back in week after week.



    Successful shows such as Lost, Heroes, Chuck, Reaper, Battlestar Galactica, and even older shows like Alias or The X-Files all have one thing in common: A series-spanning (or at least, season-spanning) story arc. While each episode has its own sub-plot, there's also a bigger story being told. And THAT's what keeps people hooked, and causes word-of-mouth to spread. Not to mention the potential revenue from DVD sales when new viewers want to catch up from the beginning.



    The recent KR reboot has been a definite improvement, but a few more throw-backs to the old series would be nice. You'd have a built-in audience of nostalgic TiVo-owning 30-somethings who would love to share this show with their kids.



    Some of the other suggestions in this thread aren't bad. Some father-son character development with David Hasselhoff could add a nice dramatic touch. And his presence on the show might give the new F.L.A.G. a little more credibility now that Charles Graiman is dead and the FBI is out of the picture. (I can't quite bring myself to believe that a quartet of horny college kids could effectively run their own high-tech law-enforcement agency without some kind of adult supervision.)



    Some more suggestions:



    - Ease up on the "horny idiot" aspects of the Billy character. Paul Campbell is a decent actor (I remember him from Battlestar) but you wouldn't know it from the dialog he's given on this show.



    - Suspension of disbelief only works when the rules of the fictional world are firmly established. I was never fond of the whole "transforming" gimmick (and I liked it even less when KARR transformed into a giant robot), but I guess it's an established part of the show now so I'm willing to accept it. But there should be limits to what KITT can transform into. The worst episodes of the old series were the ones that went over the top in the believability department: (KITT driving on water, the little hovering droid disguised as a soccer ball, Michael "sensing" the presence of KITT's CPU in a nearby trash bin... Just plain ridiculous).



    - How about a new mobile command center ("the semi"), so KITT can occasionally get some maintenance and upgrades without having to drive all the way back to the SSC. The semi was one of the most memorable aspects of the old show.



    - I'm a fan of hot girls in sexy clothes as much as the next guy, but does it make sense that Sarah is always dressed like she's going clubbing? Deanna Russo doesn't need skimpy outfits and tons of make-up to look hot. And if she's the new head of the foundation, I'd expect her to dress a little more professionally at the office.



    - What happened to the old KITT? The pilot showed him in pieces in Graiman's garage, but it would be interesting to learn how that came to be. When was he decommissioned and why? And what does old-Michael (the Hoff) think of the new KITT?



    You've got a great property in Knight Rider, and it would be a real shame to see it get canceled after only one season. Add some maturity to the characters, some ongoing story arcs to keep the viewers interested, and throw in some more connections to the original series to appease the legions of nostalgic fans, and I think you'd have a hit again.

  • MK

    So happy to hear that we will only be subjected to 2 more episodes of this poor excuse for the Knight Rider franchise. GST has zero imagination and even less ability to develop interesting stories or characters.



    The whole transforming to a 4x4 was bad enough, but now it transforms to a vintage Mustang too? Hey, GST, Ford called and they want you to transform the car into a Model T as well.



    If this show had a better producer, you wouldn't need a write-in campaign to try and save it.

  • d33m0n

    i love the new KR - the transformer style was cool :) i want to see more of that

  • DestinyRaven

    I for one grew up watching the old KR and have season 1 and 2 on dvd, the new episodes of kr took some getting used to but u have to take it in stride, I am just thankful that it was brought back as a black talking car with a front scanner and one person driving. plus technology changes and as such so do the times but the core value of the shows stays the same. As Wilton knight says one man can make a difference. I love the way attack mode looks as well as the f150 truck. Now for me to bitch, they need a mobile command unit like the semi and they should have never brought back KARR. He was cool and it was cool they had Peter Cullens voice again as the new Karr, but if this is a continuation KARR is dead, and oh ya the chainguns from KITT in fly by knight was steller.

    I hope that NBC carries this for a long time

  • Alpha2

    The show started off horribly and full of holes, TKR was a stronger show than this when it started. BUT, since the reboot the show has gotten a lot better. There are still problems that need to be addressed though. The show needs tightening up, lock down your science to a set of rules that we can count on, get deeper into the AI, why was the original KITT so much more human than this one? If it's a matter of training get deeper into KITT's learning or developing of attachments and emotions. It's an action show which has improved in terms of action set pieces and stunts. I thought the battle with KARR was awesome for all the 30 seconds of it, and that's one of the problems! it's also a SCIFI show and you need to punch those buttons better to snag your audience. The season finale should have someone building a new KARR (and with Peter Cullen's voice again, freaking cool).

  • Caine Toreador

    Bruening a better Knight you say ?

    With all due respect to all HOFF fans out there, I concur.



    Honestly, I feel like the first Knight character was too much in love with his own ego. And the first KITT was not much believable.

    Especially when I found out the Trans-Am can only run so much. And worsened(is that a word ?) when I entered engineering uni... :(



    But the new Knight(an ex-Army Ranger) and KITT(a Cobra), are something else. From the fighting coreography(which moves are believeable to bring some practical hurt if done in real life), to the science aspect of the science-fiction(which for me at least, with the current advancement in technology, pretty much plausible), to the plot(which just not revolving around 'the badguy/girl(s)' of the week).



    So please don't cancel the show.

    It's THAT good, it's able to turn a 'fallen' fans like me back into the fold. :)

  • Janet
    Yes, worsened is a word.
  • Robert Fleming

    I grew up with the old KR and HOFF-But like I said when the remake came out....this is more than just about a man and a talking car...there is more to this one! Relationships, cooperation between Mike, KITT, and the SSC. The original series didn't even have an SSC, at least that I remember. Also, and Hoff fans will probably hate me for saying this but, Justin Bruening is a MUCH better Michael Knight.

    So thank you Gary Scott Thomas etc for keeping KR alive!
