Gotta admit, I haven’t been this curious about a television show for a long time. I am interested to find out if they can somehow bring “Knight Rider” out of the ’80s and into a new era or if it will fall flat on its face. Unfortunately I am always the pessimist in these kinds of situations just as I can tell that the “Terminator” series on FOX looks like an absolute pile of shit without even seeing a single second of it. I have the pilot resting nicely in my iTunes folder, but I am wondering if I will ever have the guts to hit play after hearing all those devastating one-liners in the TV promos.
However, with “Knight Rider” we haven’t seen anything yet, that is outside of those silly little 30 second spots that don’t show anything. However, we now have a poster courtesy of IMPAwards and it looks cool enough.
Check it out and if you have any thoughts on the new show share them. Were you a fan of the ’80s version? Do you have any hope for this new version? Does the idea of a Mustang for K.I.T.T. change things up already? How about the idea that Val Kilmer will be the voice of the high tech vehicle?
“Knight Rider”, as the poster points out, hits TV Sunday, February 17th on NBC.
