Knight Rider Makes the NBC Schedule
Email this page to your friend:
We won't hold you responsible - the few million people who watched NBC's resurrected Knight Rider in enough numbers to give the pilot a slot in the network's fall lineup. We blame entropy.
Yep, you heard it right: NBC's confirmed the show will have a permanent spot in its lineup. It'll air Wednesdays at 8 p.m. (7 p.m. Central). This time around they're calling it a drama series -- where clearly, the last edition was funnier than Diff'rent Strokes if only for the Hoff's uni-dimensional acting. (Then again, you try engaging in the Strasberg method with the dash of an early-1980s F-car.)
Instead of glorifying the endless remaking of D-list Hollywood bilge, we're shuffling you off to youTube and bringing you more quality Mythbusters clips -- this time, the episode where The Guys debunk the classic Knight Rider stunt of driving onto the ramp of a moving 18-wheeler:

I agree with the above comments. I personally do NOT watch any reality shows, I live too much reality during the day. When I watch television and movies, I do so to get away from reality for a couple of hours. What is the problem with a show that is not completely "Real". Bring it on, I look forward to more "stupid" programs like this one.

You got it spot on Roy. TV in primetime is solely to unwind the brain from the brutal realities of the real world. Then we rest and tackle it all the next day all over again. The "good guys" do not win often enough in the real world!

Hey!
Doesn't look debunked to me! Looks like they proved it was possible.
As for the "cheesy" show itself, I've always thought the idea was to suspend the horrible realities of real(NOT "reality"TV)life, and have a few moments where the good guys win, and the bad guys lose! With things like the War in Iraq, children being abducted, and "reality TV" shows with a wife admitting in a lie detector test she would like to "jump" her husband's best friend, I PREFER "Knight Rider". What's wrong with "cheesy" shows like the "50's-60's" show, "The Lone Ranger", showing a strong bond between two people of different ethnicities? Crooks not getting away with crime, people not concerned with color or religion, and working together for the good of all.....even "Law and Order", all fit the bill of of values I want my grandchildren to see, on this anniversary of Martin Luther King's assasination(ironically 10 years to the day before my youngest daughter was born). Cheesy it may be, but it is fun, sorta has a message without being "preachy", and only kills critics. Besides, whether it is a talking Trans Am, or new Mustang, both cars are just cool(and don't you wish YOU had one of them in YOUR garage? I do!)!!
