Knight Rider

You've got questions, we've got answers. Part 1

Thanks for all your questions. Enjoyed reading them. Looking forward to answering more in the future. I’ll try to do this on a weekly basis, time permitting. But a lot of your questions have to do with upcoming storylines, so I can’t give too much away.


What happened to FLAG?


You’ll find about FLAG in episode 13.


I hope you're going to continue the story with kitt vs karr.


Keep watching, KARR has not been forgotten.


what is the username and password for Knight Industries Research?


Watch the show for clues...


Thanks again for bringing Knight Rider back! I would like to ask that hopefully in the series you will get to explain Flag, Devon, Bonnie, Michael Knight, & the Knight Industries Two Thousand's where abouts! Can't wait to see what happens!


Keep watching...


Any chance of bringing David and the original KITT back for a couple of shows?


Working on it.


Why does the AI in KI3T not seem to be as smart as the AI in KI2T?


The AI in KI3T is still learning…


What happened to Mike in Iraq? Can he really not remember, or is this just PTSD or something?


All will be revealed during the course of the 1st season…


Is it just me, or does the kittcave, along with the characters of Billy and Zoe, remind anyone else of Torchwood?


Interesting observation. Be sure to tune in on October 28.


Thought the first episode was a lot of fun. My only question – how hot was kitt?!? I mean, was he so hot, that not even a swimming pool would put the fire out?


There were no swimming pools around.


Is KITT’s technology in the series the same as his nanotech in the tv movie? It looks different.


It’s similar, but Kitt’s technology is always improving and advancing.


Is it just me, or are WAY TOO MANY people completely missing the point that this show is just plain old fun, and that it intentionally doesn't take itself that seriously?


You are correct. We’re trying to be fun and entertaining in much the same way the original Knight Rider was.


Thanks again for the questions. Be sure to watch Wednesday’s episode, it’s a lot of fun.

What color are the racing stripes used on KITT. Where can I find them!

What was the make and model of the car in the original series?

Will there be any toys or other merchandice knight rider related?

to answer Mike Patulski question, the color of the stripes is FLAT BLACK

Hey GST! Thanks again for answering my question about the original stuff like KI2T and Michael Knight! Keep up the good work this show is going to be great!

Why is the ai of the KI3T still learning if it is the most advanced car on earth

If this is supposed to be a fun "kids show" how come there aren't any kids on it?

If KITT is "still learning" after six months, then what has he learned so far?

Will you ever show a "normal" turbo boost jump that happens in real time?

Will you explain specifically how Charles Graiman connects to the original series? Flashbacks perhaps?

Will KITT eventually smash into things or just continue to avoid them?

If you could say something to Glen A. Larson, the creator of Knight Rider what would it be?

Hey GST, My questions about the show are all regarding stuff that was dropped from the pilot.

Firstly

Why were the attack mode and interior from the pilot dropped?
In my opinion they were much more stylish and slick than their replacements

Secondly

Why was the openning sequence from the pilot dropped? I know parts of it were incorporated into the current openning, but I think the openning from the pilot was much more modern and suited this modern continuation better.

Thirdly

What was the behind the decision making KITT a mustange instead of something closer to the original TransAm (eg.a Corvette)

Finally (This is regarding Vegas so slightly off topic)

Is there any new news on a Las Vegas ending? A merger between Las Vegas and Knight Rider would be sorta cool too. Maybe Mike met Danny while in Iraq??


for Knight Industries Research, is the password and username one for everyone or does each person have their own individual username and password? and how can we find clues in the show?

1. I see absolutely no logical point in having pop-up displays on KITTs hood.

2. Unless KITT is going to be hauling stuff in his truck bed in 4x4 mode, I see no point in it. For off-road driving, all that would need to morph are his tires.

I realize the show is supposed to be "fun", but some logic in the show would be nice too.

Overall, I like it so far, but those two points I mentioned above are bugging me.

Off-topic: For some reason

I can't see what I'm typing in the coomments box.

What does K.I.T.T stand for?

will there be any mobil lab like the semi in the earler knight rider? , how does mike traser new name entervere with his dads?

kitts needs real driving more racing cars we no ,, vett camaros what the hell was the red car the show is getting better the movie was bad thank god the cars a mustang

Anonymous, you need to learn how to puncuate. And what's with posting the same post 6 times you troll?

BTW, to answer your question, look it up.

Hey Mr. GST, I havn't seen the show yet, because I'm from Europe, but i have seen the tv movie and looking forward to love the series. I know you wasn't involved in that backdoor-pilot project, but... Mike Traceur didn't have any military tattoo on his right forearm in that movie. Im sure your team noticed it by developing the series. So why you're going to ignore things that were already established in the 2008 version of Knight Rider?
By the by I don't think there is need to hide Deanna Russo's neck beauty spot.

Yours sincerely... (KR-Fan)

The user name and password for Knight Industries Research web site will be reveal in the show...or what?

Any chance to see the incredible 1915 Mansion in Pasadena (1145 Arden Road, Pasadena California) on the series?

Does KITT have Ski Mode, wich lifts the Mustang on either the left or the right two wheels?

Does KITT transform into a convertible or eject passengers?

Could KITT spray a thin layer of oil on the road behind the car....or is that a no-no in the new millenium?

Is the aircraft that transport KITT inspired by 'Team Knight Riders' Sky-One? The Plane is something that I don't like on the show alike the hangar hide-out BAT-CAVE. KITTCAVE is o.k. as service stage... but for the rest it's too much.

Respect to GST and stuff.

The user name and password for Knight Industries Research web site

what is The user name and password for Knight Industries Research web site please tell

did u guys ever anounce the kitt sweepstakes winners from last falls movie???

ok here is my question why did you guys get rid if the attack mode that was in the movie? it looked way better than the one on the show. yea the nestalgic shelby idea was nice but doesnt really suit the car. my other question is How much is ford paying for you to use a mustang? because to be honest it is a disgrace to the origninal series honestly you should have gone with a new c6 zo6 would have been alot better of a car to use and would have kept the die hard gm fans that loved the pontiac in the original series.

Big fan of the original show. Really would like to see the concept of Asmov's laws played out through the story line. First KITT had Asmov's 1st law "A robot cannot endanger a human life". This is why KITT tried to take control when Micheal played chicken with KARR.
The new KITT should have similar programing and should willfully disobey orders that violate the 1st law. (i.e. he should have refused to reroute the power in the first episode since it endangered the passengers). This would make for great story telling!

C Carver

One of the previous questions asked and not answered. What happened to One man can make a difference?

It would be a great fun-moment to see KI3T parking in tight areas like the Toyota Fine T Concept.

.
.
.
Is Charles Graiman going to send Mike and KI3T undercover to find out who is killing drivers in the Alternative 4000 race While Mike is trying to take a few days holiday? Mike definitively should try to make holiday each episode.
can we expect, KI3T will be demolished, so Charles Graiman vows to rebuild him even better...? Please don't let me be misunderstood. The Mustang is awsome, but the original series featured many "K.I.T.T. Destructions"....so this would be great for another (season) premiere episode and to upgrade him.

Would you be open to possibly having an original series consultant? It may improve your show's chances of success to have someone on board who knows the fanbase and the original mythology, especially if you intend to go more then one season. If so, I am releasing a new 680 page book covering the original Knight Rider mythology, if you would like to arrange a meeting, feel free to get in touch with me. I am sure your people know the proper channels.

I want to see this series succeed and I'm willing to help if you're willing to listen.

Any chance of seeing Garth Knight and Golliath? That would be AWESP

Wow...lot of questions and some answers since I was here last. It would seem that most evreyone would like to see a tie back to the original series and it sounds like that may be in store. Looking forward to it.

I would have to repeat my question and it looks like others are asking it as well...what happened to the "one man can make a difference" premise. As we get into this show more, will the premise become more focused on that? My point is that is what made it Knight Rider. Without that, this show could/should have been an original concept and have been called something else. Just my opinion.

Hi. Here are my questions really.

How come kit has no digital instrumentation anymore? I like the 3D thing on the windshield but it seems a tadd bit off. Could you guys do something about that?

2. I noticed that the scanner looks like just a neon light glowing. How about having that effect with some LED's, only straight across.

3. Is Dave Hasselhoff gonna drive the new KITT. You know, just to make the audience nostalgic.

4. Can we lose the 4WD conversion to a truck thing. It just seems a bit too out there that KITT can turn into a truck. It's kinda like copying the transformers. How about having his wheels do a conversion where they get bigger and more off roadish?

Can there be some sort of animation before going to a commercial break? Like how the old series did it. That kinda kept me at my seat.

The opening credits, can you work on that? There needs to be more images of the car driving through the desert(bring back the pink desert too). ;)


Here's some stuff I'd like to see:

An improved voice modulator. The one that you guys got on the show now looks like something from star trek. No offence.

How about having Mike wear the black jacket a little more often? I know the heat's probably unbearable at times but you know...

Car chases. I'd like to see the new KITT ripping through the streets every once in a while.

Attack Mode. I like the conversion but, how about something mechanical, not too much flash yet sophisticated. We've all seen animated "change overs" like that in Viper. Again no offence.

Mike needs a comlink to go along with his earpiece. Let's see him call KITT by talking to his watch. :)

Narration in the opening credits: It doesn't have to be the same opening line "KNIGHT RIDER, a shadowy flight into the...." but how about getting a British guy to say some opening lines while the opening credits are rolling.

Sound effects. Turbo Boost needs a cool sound effect, something thrustful like a "BSSSSHHHHH" noise.

KITT needs a gull wing steering wheel or something just as cool, the fully rounded steering wheel makes him look like an ordinary car.

More sequences of KITT driving by himself should be shown.

Lose the plane, get a bigger truck to accomodate the mustang and stuff. It doesn't seem realistic that KITT and Mike are always close to an airport.

FINALLY, an ending fade out sequence where the car's driving through the desert(doesn't have to be like the old one) just something that will work.

I KNOW THAT MOST OF THESE SUGGESTIONS MAY NEVER COME ABOUT BUT I THOUGHT I'D VOICE MY OPINION.

THANKS

Why did you change the original attack KITT. The new attack KITT is a P.O.S. for lack of better words. I'm a big KR fan...but this was a bad move.....you may want to change it back immediately

Oh..one more question. Is the back story of Mike's mother (killed in the pilot movie) going to be explored? I noticed her name was Jennifer...could this have been Jennifer Knight (Garth's sister) from the original series?

I am worried about this show getting canceled. What can I do as a fan of the show and a fan of your work to make sure that doesn't happen. NBC has canceled to many shows before they get their chance.

why did we change from the molecular bonded shell in the original show to the nano technology, it just seems that the new kitt is more vulnarable than the old one, if the computer is turned off then the new kitt can be destroyed, and does he have to be in attack mode to keep bullets and things from penetrating?

hi, will kitt voice get better

As much as I loved knight 2000 we must remember this is a new day, new improvements and new changes. It would be nice to see the original Michael Knight help to new Kitt and his son side by side.

Can we please stop having Sarah Drive KITT in every episode.. it hurts the michael kitt relationship

1)I WOULD LIKE TO SUGGEST DROPPING THE PLANE AND BRINGING THE 18 WHEELER BACK.
2) THERE ARE WAY TO MANY PEOPLE BOTHERING MIKE THROUGHOUT THE EPISODES. B4 MICHAEL WOULD RECIEVE HIS MISSION AND TALK TO DEVON OR BONNIE ONCE. THE SHOW WAS MORE ABOUT THE MAN AND THE AWESOME CAR. NOW U HAVE ALL THESE PEOPLE FROM THE CAVE SEEING WHAT MIKE IS SEEING, WATCHING HIS EVERY MOVE AND SOMETIMES UP TO THREE POEPLE TALKING TO HIM. WAY TOO MUCH. KEEP IT SIMPLE.
3) THE "KR' UNDER THE CAR WHEN KITT IS IN THE AIR DURING A TURBO BOOST, LOOKS VERY CHEESY. AGAIN KEEP IT SIMPLE.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME

Why Attack Mode when all KITT does is run fast? Isn't Super Pursuit Mode a more appropriate name?

Hey GST! Thanks for answering my question before and it was on my b-day Oct. 3rd! Loved Knight of the Iguana. Keep up the good work and I can't wait to hear some news/refernces to the original and maybe some surprise guests in the futre?

how do i get the body kit for the mustang???

how do i get the body kit for the mustang???

This is probably an important question that everyone thinks about. I been reading reports that the Hoff wont come on the new Series.......is this true?

I'm going to post this again just in case it's buried underneath all the other posts.

This is not spam or self advertisment, this is a serious offer to help your incarnation of Knight Rider to succeed in the long term. I believe you can go the distance if you listen and learn from the original fanbase instead of sidestepping it.

Knight Rider fans new and old can make or break this series. We can make a difference.

=VK=

Hello all,
First, let me commend you on the recreation of Knight Rider. I was a huge fan of the original and I'm so glad someone had the guts to bring it back...now to the topic of my blog. There are a lot of people on here that are complaining that the show needs to be like the original...
Look folks, IT'S NOT THE ORIGINAL. The main character is MICHAEL TRACEUR, not Michael Knight. We are all so cught up in the fact that it's Knight Rider and not thinking out of the box. He is NOT going to be exactly like his father (thank goodness because he's way too hot!) and he has a more mysterious past, which adds a great deal of "Who is Mike Traceur" to the story line. People, we have to giive the show a chance and let them work out their own storyline for their characters. The original premise, "one man can make a difference" is not completely lost, but this is a whole new Knight Rider and they have a need to expand on what Wilton Knight wanted to accomplish. We all know that with all organizations that deal with the government, eventually they start moving in. I will agree on a few things though...like the CGI portion. I think it makes it more realistic to actually have shots of them DRIVING KITT, rather than background moving as if they are. That's one of the pieces of the original show that should be readapted, as well as the 18-wheeler. Honestly, the cargo plane is a bit much especially since we all know you can't land that thing everywhere. I give full kudos to the creators of this version and congratulate Dave Andron for the idea (even thought it wasn't just him, I have met his dad!) Keep up the good work!
BTW, it really isn't necessary to make KITT into a racer complete with neons. The whole concept of KITT is innovative enough and to really make him resemble the weapon/machine that he is, maybe make the additions to KITT more realistic as well (The transformation of KITT into a truck is a bit unbelieveable).
Thanks for listening...

what was the name of red sports car on the 2 show

Can you please bring back the orignal all black attack mode from the pilot?
The new attack mode sucks and its not believable...

Does anyone know the name and titles of the songs played on the episode that aired 10-8-08

OK. AO lets talk. Ive noticed alot of questions about attack mode, KARR, the new KITT and Las Vegas. Attack mode runs faster than normal driving mode, but it is stronger and can withstand being blown off of a cliff and into the ocean. Also lets remember that this is a new show and a new storytelling method. This isnt Michael, KITT, and Devon. This is Mike, KITT, Billy, Sarah,, and the rest of the KITTCAVE crew. New modes, new learning abilities, new everything. though i would like to say that real time turbo boost would be nice. Also this show is meant to be fun and enjoyable and entertaining, not Batman Begins beiievable, but fun. Also KARR is going to come back and he should be a Charger or a Challenger. Plus as a final note i think that Mike and Danny from Vegas should know each other and Mike and KITT head to Vegas to deal with Garthe Knight's and Adrianne Margeaux's daughter and her new suped up GOLIATH. Love the new show, hope that it stays on for a while. GOD BLESS KR&D

Please bring back a new high tech semi, where Michel nad KITT can be deployed to do their missions, and have both Charles and Sarah housed there with the necessary equipment to service and even retro fit KITT with new upgrades, what ever happened to Micheals black leater jacket,didn't he have one in the pilot movie. As i said before boeth versions of KITT need to have black rims, and while the new attack mode KITT is much better thann the first version, it needs to be lower and sleeker with a full black out treatment on the grill,rims,and lighs a sleeker more agressive wing and no more drag slicks. KITT is supposed to be HIGHTECH SUPER CAR not a (PINKS ALL-OUT Dragster)more realistic drinving and turbo boost with with less CGI,added sound effects just as the original and Micheal needs to have his old charm,charmisma,humor and emotion like his farter did.I still love the new show,good job overall hope you take and appriciate the comment and suggestions oa us the fans so that the next generation can have a new legacy to look back on. Thx

Hi Gary... tnx for bringing Knight Rider back...
Will we see Garth and Goliath again. A mix between KARR and Goliath would be awesome...

HI, GST!
Once more,tnx for bringing knight rider back...

I´d like to know if TKR and KR2000 will have some link to this continuation. And, if it is a continuation, why not name it as season 5?

FX´s guys are forgeting turbo boost sound... remember them... it gives more life to the screen.

Great show, keep it up NBC!

NBC, please disregard any comments made by "Victor Kros", also known as Nick Nugent, ex-Disney amusement park employee. He knows nothing about Knight Rider even though he has written a book on the subject. I know some people who have leafed through some pre-production copies of the book and they have said that the book was alright but there was information in it that was directly copied from the internet. Clearly, Mr. Nugent underestimated the intelligence of his audience by thinking he could pull a fast one and not write his own material, but steal from others. Couple that with Mr. Nugent's inexcusable conduct on various Knight Rider message boards (many of which he has been banned on) and it should be clear that he should have no involvement at all with any Knight Rider production, even an NBC sponsored Knight Rider lemonade stand. I encourage all of you reading this to carefully investigate Mr. Nugent before handing over your hard earned money for "his" book. Thank you.

I AM VICTOR KROS, I AM KNIGHT RIDER, PLEASE GIVE ME A JOB ON YOUR LEMONADE STAND

Hey, thanks for doing this Q+A stuff in the first place, it's really nifty!

My next question: What happens when KITT starts watching movies like Christine, the Wraith, or Terminator instead of just westerns? He should go all Killer KITT again and team up with Karr atleast once. That'd be sweet XD

And you have no idea how excited I am to hear KARR's gonna be back. Just please please promise me Peter Cullen's doing his voice. Karr's useless without him. Seriously. And that he's not a Mustang. Cause that would defeat his purpose, you can't have him be a 'stang prototype cause they wouldn't have 're-made' him after they got it right with Kitt. Anyway, I'm sure he'll be awesome anyway. Thanks so much!

Great post and I have to second your comments. I certainly hope that the powers that be on this show read this stuff. If this is Knight Rider, then it does need to be Michael and KITT with just supporting characters. In this version, Michael is kind of portrayed as a gopher. Everyone tells him what to do and he does it. At least in the original series, Michael was treated as an equal and important part of the team with ideas of his own. In this one, Sarah could just be the lead role and they don't even need Mike. Many people are saying the same thing...leave the team in the KITT Cave. Let KITT (by himself) come to the rescue as he is supposed to as Michael's partner.

This show could be fantastic with a little tweaking. Bring back the basic premise of one hero and his car making a difference in a world of criminals operating above the law. Support Michael and KITT with the team (at the KITT cave) and all the cool new technologies. Use updated stories to fit this era and I think it would be a hit. It would still appeal to the target audience while keeping us die hard original KR series fans happy as well. Tie into the original series where you can to explain what has happened to the original crew, FLAG, etc...and have some back for guest appearances if possible. I think everyone would be happy if this show stayed true to the original premise and idea of Knight Rider.

I have to say that Wilton Knight would be rolling over in his grave if he saw this. LOL.

By the way...best character on this show....Charles Graiman.

do you have a deal with Spyker cars

KITT does not make the "WHOOSH WHOOSH" sound constantly... geez, how is he supposed to be discrete?

KITT stands for Knight Industries Three Thousand.

Why did you change the attack mode, KITT was super awesome with that double spoiler, it give that grrrr! thing. Now it's just a tuner thing.

is golith comeingback in action with the new kit .what happend to wilton knights family are u all going to tell about it .will the new kitt have microjamers as one of its features and what happened to flag will the flag join ssc

Is KITT ever goig to drive on 2 wheels

The attack mode is more likely super pursuit mode when you are drive a fast car with the speed limit up to 100 miles or more than 100 miles.

I am a fan of the show. I grew up on Knight Rider. I do believe there can be some improvements to the show to make it more enjoyable. You can email me about it if yu have time.

I have one very simple question….
Are you listening to us?

First, I wanted to thank you for bringing Knight Rider, one of my favorite shows from the 80’s into the modern era. I enjoyed many an episode; I’ve even tried to catch it in reruns on the Universal HD channels when I have time. While I know that GST may not want to hear this, I actually liked the 2 hour pilot movie made; it did capture what Knight Rider was about.
I have to agree with Richard Pinnell in his comments. I think the core of Knight Rider was that it was one man, using a machine in a modern world as a partner, could make a difference to individuals seeking FLAG’s help.
I’m not sure what you have cooked up for FLAG, Devon, Bonnie and the original storyline, so that may take care of some of these issues; however the idea of having a “team” with all these people seems to be really confusing to me. “Too many cooks in the kitchen” so to speak; there needs to be a clear definitive lead in all this; so far Justin Bruneing is doing well with what he’s been given, but to me he’s the clear lead. I like the Sarah character (Deanna Russo), but too often, she’s “usurping” the clear role that Mike should have in this. (Yes that may make me sound chauvinistic, but this is all about core of story, not do I think she’s capable). The viewers of this show are similar to the viewers of something like “24” in which Chloe has a significant role, but Jack’s role is never eclipsed by it. I feel like so far Sarah is “eclipsing” Mike; I don’t know if you have plans for that to change or not, but it’s something I noticed right off. With regards to Sydney or Yancey, I think one of them has to go, or at least fade more into the background, as it creates too much confusion. I think they do well with the characters they have.
I like the Billy character; a more nerd driven character works well as a good dynamic with Mike and Sarah. I think Zoe seems a bit out of place. I’m not sure this one works well.
I also noticed that at least the first few episodes deal with this overwhelming 9/11 Homeland Security global threat plot. While I think it’s topical and fresh, it strays too far away from what I believe is the heart of Knight Rider’s essential story was Michael Knight trying to help the lost, the innocent, the helpless, the powerless (yes I paraphrased). I understand that was the 80’s series, but it was that component that connected with audiences; which I don’t think is a “dated” concept. Global threats are good; just try to bring in more of what captured fans in the first place.
I know that doing a show like this, mad rampant fans like me are going to “chime in” on what they think should happen; I’m not wanting to be an “armchair quarterback”; you guys are the ones doing this show. I think all the fans would like to see this succeed where others might have failed in conception.
My thanks and on with the show.

I’m not sure what you have cooked up for FLAG, Devon, Bonnie and the original storyline, so that may take care of some of these issues; however the idea of having a “team” with all these people seems to be really confusing to me. “Too many cooks in the kitchen” so to speak; there needs to be a clear definitive lead in all this; so far Justin Bruneing is doing well with what he’s been given, but to me he’s the clear lead. I like the Sarah character (Deanna Russo), but too often, she’s “usurping” the clear role that Mike should have in this. (Yes that may make me sound chauvinistic, but this is all about core of story, not do I think she’s capable). The viewers of this show are similar to the viewers of something like “24” in which Chloe has a significant role, but Jack’s role is never eclipsed by it. I feel like so far Sarah is “eclipsing” Mike; I don’t know if you have plans for that to change or not, but it’s something I noticed right off. With regards to Sydney or Yancey, I think one of them has to go, or at least fade more into the background, as it creates too much confusion. I think they do well with the characters they have.
I like the Billy character; a more nerd driven character works well as a good dynamic with Mike and Sarah. I think Zoe seems a bit out of place. I’m not sure this one works well.
I also noticed that at least the first few episodes deal with this overwhelming 9/11 Homeland Security global threat plot. While I think it’s topical and fresh, it strays too far away from what I believe is the heart of Knight Rider’s essential story was Michael Knight trying to help the lost, the innocent, the helpless, the powerless (yes I paraphrased). I understand that was the 80’s series, but it was that component that connected with audiences; which I don’t think is a “dated” concept. Global threats are good; just try to bring in more of what captured fans in the first place.
I know that doing a show like this, mad rampant fans like me are going to “chime in” on what they think should happen; I’m not wanting to be an “armchair quarterback”; you guys are the ones doing this show. I think all the fans would like to see this succeed where others might have failed in conception.
My thanks and on with the show.

Sorry for the triple post...Web browser not showing me what I pased in...

Is kitt real and I mean the one on tv?

is kitt real and i mean the one on tv?

remember the Knight Rider theme used in the TV Movie Trailer and in the 1:50 sneek peek of the tv movie. and if it is possible to post the theme on the net.

Is Mike ever going to fine out his past?


Garth and Goliath fell off a cliff .

i know the tattoos on mike's back are real, but is the military tattoo on his arm fake??
and what is in the middle of the sun tattoo on his back??

how does kitt drive him self

Hello gary knight rider and the team of that kind would you use TRK and film k2000 as a bridge for the 25 years that remained on the air tkr you could do espisodios special series of actors bringing tkr already using cars ford would combine with new series and also death devon ta of the movie k2000 then you could use them to not throw away talking kift was too expensive to maintain so abandoned project foundation lost money and closed after the film k2000 was now reactivated by charles bring TBM Participaçoes special agents of the original series increases audience would rather clear and not too new Goliath could miss our dear old kitt with david so would last for many seasons and lots of stories not completed in the original series could pose new series

gary embrace the whole team

Is kitt real and i mean the one on tv?

I like the new KITT, but compared to his predecessor, he seems a bit... robotic. I mean, in the old series, KITT and Michael joke around very naturally, but it seems that the new KITT doesn't joke around very much or interact naturally with Mike and Sarah. Will he learn to interact with them more naturally as the series progresses?

Thank you.

Is KARR in the new series the same AI as KARR in the old series in a new body?

What is attack mode for?

kitt you are my hero

Will michael knight and his new partner kitt ever find out who karr is? and will sarah ever kiss michael?
Rachel bailey

Just something i would like to ask, could you please stop puting so much sex stuff and Mike checking out the other women, , thakns very much.

THISSHOW SUCKS CUT IT OUT IMEDEYETLY PLEAS A DIFERENT TYPE OF CAR FOR KITT IS NOT BRIGING KITT OR KNIGHT RIDER INTO THE 21 CENTRY IT JUST MAKES IT SUCK AND TO ANSWER TOW OTHER THINGS KIDS FREQUENTED YHE OLD SERIS AND KITT STANDS FOR KNIGT INDESTRS THERE THOUSAND THE OLD KITT WAS KNIGHT INEDSERIS TOW THOUSAND

will kitt 2k return with the hoff and can he connected with the new karr in some way using the original cpu that never was desroyed in the original and why did you guys have to cut dr gratman and the 2 fbi agents

will we ever see a real potential danger to KITT's nanoskin? Like, KITT shutting down unexpectantly or something? I would love to see KITT's nanoskinn fall apart, but he is still functionable, like KARR's ecsoskeleton.

Hello Gary and team knightrider

what you think this version?

good here most forgotten of 2 facts in the old series in SEMI has several posters that temum futuristic red car, which in coisidencia or not = P was used in the film like a super machine 2000, saw quam knows that you take part of the roadmap as the same chronology.

1) In the 1991 movie explains that the KITT (the 2000) was turned off and dismembered (tie matches the pieces displayed in the pilot of the New KR), and as he is the Roommate MichaelNnight Father, that assuming that after the end of the era of the red knight rider Michael keep the CPU again, explains the reason for the money Sumico of Devon already that he dies in this movie, and the Foundation is in control of another person.

2) The current KARR may be the CPU (inspiring to me in Terminator 2 where they believe a CPU and do the rest) of the original KARR reprogrammed by someone else, the incident apoz oo DR. graiman resolves reactivate the KITT, but with a new CPU and more modern that the 2 previous KITT, and CPU are in the car Father Michael's staff, both agreed to be vigilant of retired life.

3) Seeing that on this side tb expolicaria the episode shows where the theme KR especide of a globe with the scanner of KITT being stolen ... this would assist in the narrative that was original KITT dismantled it, and it's RD in garagen and graiman so the car motors without the main CPU

tanks

What did happen to Mike, when he was in Iraq.
U tol that it will be showed in season1, but it isn yet.
I am really interesting on that?
thanks

Would make a great pro personnel continuity linking the old series to make arcs of episodes or seasons such as:

At the end of episode one question for someone in your office Graiman Charles as he is working .... Oh he responds: In an old project and then shows the sequential lighting of KITT and slowly erasing ....

Another episode could start with: 23 years ago, finding someone here shows the CPU descriptions of the KARR with Knight Industries \ C. Graiman in the carcass of the CPU. At the present time the design of the new KITT and redo KARR also in a mustang in Silver color, with that the old KITT and Michael Knight could be called upon to help new team to beat KARR.

Another episode could start with the line of TKR where Garth appear in a wheelchair and uses it to run its new child Golias project with the CPU of KARR

Would be great arches or episodes that would bring large audiences for the new series, in my opinion. Take that producers are thinking about things like that, not only in arresting the arc in the past of Mike Traceur, as each episode someone would recognize the war, I do not know what changed him have changed for Michael Knight so far .... .

Hello, GST
I just learned that the series will end on February 25 2009, it should not, certainly not, we must work on all the comments of fans, you are given the key to success, if Knight Rider dies February 25 We will not ever KITT on television and there it is unforgivable! The time is very serious need to ensure that the hearings back from the episode of 31 December 2008! It must save the series!

Hy, Gary

I have a question, what do you think of reducing the number of episodes of 22 to 17?
Is it to put the series in order for Season 2, or NBC do more to the success of the serie, if so for what reason? The fans you express it hundreds of times what they were waiting, why not have them listen? Hoping that 10 to 17 episodes save the serie! A note for NBC think of doing more promo for how you want people to know that if you do not invite a look at the serie. I am a fan of the series for over 25 years, so it should not stop on a failure must know bounce!

will there be a soundtrack to the new series? I have three versions of the main title theme that I downloaded off of televisiontunes.com, and am now looking for the end title theme.

i hope u bring back mike kinght love to see a father & son team here

Will there be a knight Rider event at Los Angeles CA in 2009 or 2010? and Do you have a Fan site? If you do can you give me the link?

Gary we need your help for a second season,cause the fan' that watch it each and every week want the show to come back,we really want 22 episode',but if that not in the card' then we want a second season,cause we love the show and it' getting really good.So please help for a second season.

will they make a kitt vs karr for season2 the fight was too short

Dear Writers, I think you guys have started back on the right track with Knight Rider by bringing back the Knight foundation and F.L.A.G and some of the elements of the original series to make this truly a continuation of the original so, and the "One Man can make a difference" not team. However there is still alot of humanity and real life situations left out, things that could really happen in the real world to K.I.T.T For example: the writers could write scenes where Michael's parked in a bad neighborhood and some kids spray paint K.I.T.T and then K.I.T.T uses his nano technology to clean off which surprises and scares the kids but is humorous to K.I.T.T or have Micheal fall asleep driving K.I.T.T takes over and then a family sees this and reacts or a police officer sees this and pulls him over in disbelief and gives him a ticket. Lastly, while Micheals in a convience store buying a rockstar some thugs try to steal K.I.T.T.s stereo or what they think is a stereo and K.I.T.T locks 'em in takes them for the scare of their life and ejects them out or drops 'em off at a police station. Just some suggestions to bring the show into the real world and not a James Bond fantasy. That's the kind of sublte humor the origianl had, not the corny humor of Zoe making jokes on Billy or vice versa.

you know what would be cool to to bring back goliath as a big muscle rig with flames on the side and the scanner on fire gary let this happen this would be so cool

goliath and mikss evil twin with black hair looking more spooky and kitt get destroyed and sarah rebuilts kitt with even newer tec

please make sure there is another season
