Sure, David Hasselhoff will always be the Michael Knight.  But there is an entire generation of kids out there who have not gotten to take in the joy that is K.I.T.T.  And imagine all the technological advances that this new K.I.T.T. can have!  That’s why we can’t figure out why they are so against.  Do they really think the show created such a legend in Michael Knight that the show can’t be re-produced without ruining something?

The only possible argument so many people out there could possibly have is to point to what happened with the remakes of “Dukes of Hazzard” and “Miami Vice.”  Yes, both of those went quite badly.  But those guys were out for a one-tome box office hit.  NBC’s “Knight Rider” will be a series, if picked up, not a quick 100 minute scheme to get rich.  It’s truly unbelievable to us how many people out there can’t make this distinction.

And then there’s an entirely separate group out there who thinks selecting Doug Liman as executive producer (and possible director is scheduling works out) was a terrible idea.  We have no idea how they can think such a thing.  Look at his credits: Swingers, Go, The Bourne Identity, Mr. and Mrs. Smith.  And so many of you don’t think he has the resume to pull off a great “Knight Rider” series?  We’re sorry, but we must respectfully disagree with that line of thinking.

Liman has a great history, both in comedy and action.  He will be able to combine some good action sequences, while not losing the congenial relationship between Michael Knight and K.I.T.T., and even with the Knight Foundation members.  Yet, for some reason they think this guy will be a bust and ruin everything.

Well we’re not gonna sit here silently and listen to people bash the new “Knight Rider” pilot.  It might not turn out to be the greatest show on television, but we think it;s worth pursuing.  There’s a lot of potential there, and we just hope all the close-minded people against the show don’t influence NBC’s decision.  Let “Knight Rider” live, baby!
