TV show description:
A follow-up to the successful 1980s TV series.

The new Knight Industries Three Thousand (KITT, voiced by Val Kilmer) is faster and more powerful than its predecessors. It’s a supercomputer automobile that can hack into almost any system; its weapons systems efficient; and its body is capable of actually shifting shape and color. On top of that, KITT’s artificial intelligence makes it the ideal crime-fighting partner: logical, precise, and possessing infinite knowledge. It’s the ultimate car – one that some would be willing to do anything to obtain.

Sarah Graiman (Deanna Russo) is a 24-year old Ph.D candidate at Stanford University who’s following in the footsteps of her genius father, Charles Graiman (Bruce Davison). After some men try to abduct her, Sarah receives a mysterious call from KITT warning her that he’s a creation of Charles, who also invented the first KITT 25 years ago – and that her father is in serious danger.

Together, they seek out the help of Mike Traceur (Justin Bruening), a 23-year-old ex-Army Ranger who has a strange connection to KITT. Mike left home at the age of 18, served in Iraq, and returned home feeling jaded and lost. Sarah and KITT eventually convince Mike to help them. They’re assisted by Carrie Rivai (Sydney Tamiia Poitier), a tough FBI agent who has a long friendship to Charles and Sarah.

The team succeeds and Mike is asked to pick up the original Knight Rider’s mission of trying to help the innocent, with the help of KITT. After meeting his father for the first time – Michael Knight (David Hasselhoff), the original Knight Rider – Mike decides to step up to the challenge.

Everyone- the problems with the critics is this – The Nielsen Ratings. That’s their crutch. I have a forum post on TheWb.com where I am rallying a campaign to shut down the CW for good. I also signed the Knight Rider petition on this website and that if NBC doesn’t pick it back up- they would be foolish not to- a new WB network might (if Universal gives up the rights along with NBC).

I would like to see Knight Rider back on NBC again because I thought is was really good and I thought that Zoe and Sarah were really good characters for the younger next generation in my age group (20’s) and I though the chemistry was great with the cast. The only problem was that the show did too many avenues too fast.
What we need to do is to take away their crutch (like I am doing with supporters against the CW on theWB.com) and realy have the fans make the final call.

I’ll tell you people what- read my forum called The New WB Network Rally Board on theWB.com and you’ll see why I stick up for the little people. And get me into touch with any Knight Rider cast members, etc. and I’ll see what I can do.
Knight Rider can be brought back- It’s just a matter of time.

Take away the critics and execs crutch (the Nielsen Ratings) and you’ll get waht you want.

I got robbed, and they also took my TV. When I got a new one last week, I’ve been trying to wait for a next Knight Rider episode but it wasn’t there. I checked the internet only to find out that the show was discontinued. Then I said “what?”. Come on! This is a very cool show. Canceling this show is like taking someone’s heart out. Please don’t cancel the show.
