Who seriously thought that the Knight Rider remake was going to be good? I mean, come on; NBC is doing it? Maybe, just maybe, if FX, HBO, or Showtime was producing the remake, it would of had a chance. But if you are currently watching the show and don’t like what you see, you might enjoy this guys good ‘ol fashion blogging rant. Note to all would be producers of TV and movies remakes. DO NOT DEVIATE FROM THE ORIGINAL STORY. If you think you’re gonna put your own spin on it and it will be wildly popular, you better take a look around before you spend the studios money. 4. KITT is too vulnerable. In the TV movie and the first 2 episodes, KITT was incapacitated. This is unacceptable. The car is the show… The car is the show… THE CAR IS THE SHOW! Don’t forget that. My little tid-bit…K.I.T.T. isn’t a ‘stang, even if it is a KR500 edition. He’s a Pontiac man. → Read More

This is the real deal. The Knight Rider GPS from Mio has a tentative launch set for August and it is priced at $270. The software is still being worked on hence some noticeable sluggishness in the video, but it’s just a demo unit at the moment that’s pretty neat and definitely nerdy. I mean, really, who wants another plain ole GPS when you can have William Daniels telling you where to go with flashing red LEDS?! Oh, and the TV show is going back into production tomorrow. Not sure if that’s a known fact, but I thought I’d share. → Read More
If your name is Michael and you’re into GPS systems, then have I got the unit for you. The Knight Rider GPS by Mio features voice directions by none other than William Daniels, the voice of KITT on the Knight Rider series. When you fire the gadget up, you’ll hear “Hello, Michael. Where do you want to go today?” No word on a release date, but the price will be $270 when it becomes available. Peter’s got a meeting with Mio later today, so he’ll likely get some more info. via BBG → Read More
[photopress:KITT_01.jpg,full,center] The keyboard in that two hour long Ford commercial from Sunday night? Yah, it’s from a Mac. Does that mean KITT is running Leopard? No, his Wi-Fi likely works. Zing! KITT 2008 powered by a Mac? [Macenstein] → Read More
I know you read this blog, Mom, to keep tabs on me. And because you’re proud that I’m the only guy here yet to make dick jokes, so I’d like to draw your attention to an auction on eBay. You might remember when growing up that Knight Rider was one of my favorite shows after the Dukes of Hazzard and The A-Team. I always wanted to drive KITT, and now I can. See, KITT is up for auction, one of the original four used on the show. And there’s only one bid at $20,000! We can do this! In fact, we can split it. If you just want to give me a $10,000 eBay gift card, I’ll take care of everything else. K? Thanks Mom, you rule! Matt Oh, yah, here’s the auction. [eBay] → Read More
If you haven’t already realized this I loves me some comic bookish TV shows and movies. My previous Transformers and Iron Man coverage should make that quite apparent. Although, I didn’t post the Iron Man trailer because everyone else at CG thought it was lame, but here’s the link in case you missed it. Man, this coffee is making me all sorts of antsy (Note to self: no more coffee). Back to the task at hand. → Read More
