This weeks episode of ABC's show Castle featured both Mike Knight and RCIII in guest roles during an investigation in the death of a champion swimmer.

Justin Bruening (aka Mike Knight) played the couch of and Peter Parros (RCIII) played the doctor to the departed and were both questioned by Beckett and Castle - the show's main characters.

Unfortunately the two of them didn't share any screen time, so those fans looking for a generational Knight Rider collaboration will still have to wait.

If you are in the US you can watch this weeks episode on Hulu.

The series premier of The Hasselhoffs premieres Sunday, December 5 at 10/9c on A&E. If you are not familiar, it's a ten episode half-hour long series that brings you into the household of David Hasselhoff. They filmed a lot of Knight Rider related things, from his appearance at the Knight Rider Festival, to driving up in KITT for Pink's Hot Dogs and of course the impromptu Parade at Comic Con. Watch as he raises his two daughters as a single parent with their up-and-coming group “Bella Vida.”

About “The Hasselhoffs”:
The series tags along with father and daughter Taylor-Ann performing side-by-side on set of “The Young and The Restless,” goes behind-the-scenes with Hayley at “Huge,” steps in-studio with “Bella Vida” to record, write songs and meet with producers, watches David’s preparations for a comedy roast and travels to Austria where David orchestrates a production of an epic scale, one where the entire family’s reputation hangs in the balance. With three entertainers with big personalities and an unparalleled sibling rivalry between the girls in the house, there is never a dull moment with “The Hasselhoffs,” but throughout it all, David proves he is a dedicated father and no matter what challenges he faces, he has the best interests of his daughters in mind.

David Hasselhoff was in downtown Los Angeles today filming a music video for his upcoming A&E reality series and we were there watching it happen. The production crew contacted Paul Casey from Paul Casey Productions to provide KITT cars for the shoot, building on the relationship by the Hoff's appearance at Knight Riser Festival II in Las Vegas. Paul brought his KITT (actually, his baby daughter's) out from Vegas, and worked with our friends from Knights of the West Coast for more cars. Gary Hunter, Alex Wong and Jennifer Catano also provided KITTs for filming.

Look for an eyewitness report in the forum soon, and we'll have more news involving Paul Casey and the Hoff in the next few days.

UK based automotive chain Kwik Fit, has a great new ad featuring KITT, voiced by William Daniels. This very cute ad is created by the ad agency DDB London.

KITT, David Hasselhoff's intelligent Pontiac Trans Am from the 1980s US drama Knight Rider, is to make a TV comeback in an ad campaign for the car repair firm Kwik-Fit.


The TV campaign, which Kwik-Fit said is about showing that it does "so much more than just tyres and exhausts", features the once unstoppable KITT getting a buffing while minus a wheel in a repair shop.

KITT's voice provided, as in the original series, by William Daniels. The campaign, by ad agency DDB London, breaks on Monday night.

More on the ad at guardian.co.uk
