I see a lot of people saying that they don't want KITT to be a Mustang and some that say they do. The opinions are rather mixed and some people are saying they'll give the show a chance when it airs.
I don't know if the show will be bad or good, but they're sticking with the original storyline. I might give it a chance and watch it myself when it airs, but I dunno...
And it mentions nanotechnology, one of my favorite sci-fi subjects, so it might be okay if it allows KITT to shift shape into his original T/A form. I may be dreaming, but that's what I'm thinking.

Thats something I didn't think of, they might do that, make a lot of fans happy.
And I'm still one of those people on the fence, sure the Shelby 500KR (KR stands for King of the Road, not Knight Rider), but I would love to see T/A KITT again.
And this might actually be good for Ford. When the orginal series came out the sales for black T-Top T/As did go through the roof.

Well, the movie might be interesting to watch. I might evaluate it and see what it's like and if it'll be a big hit or not.

I've heard about this piece of news this morning. An online auction on eBay for the "Knight Rider" car, KITT. The auction's been suspended. If they can't sell it on eBay, what are they going to do with it?
Sorry, bad link, but this is the gist of the news:
Online auction for ``Knight Rider'' car temporarily suspended 3:50 PM EST, December 21, 2007
GREENWICH, Conn. - An attorney said Friday he's halted an eBay auction of an original KITT _ the talking car that helped David Hasselhoff escape bad guys on the '80s TV series "Knight Rider" _ because he's had more inquiries than he can handle.
The black 1984 Pontiac Trans Am is being sold to satisfy the debts of a slain real estate developer, whose killing last year is unsolved. Boats, cars and other items owned by car aficionado Andrew Kissel already have been sold after creditors claimed he owed $30 million.
Patrick R. Gil, the attorney for Kissel's estate, said Friday that press reports prompted so much interest in the car that he had more bids than he could handle from Hawaii, where he is on vacation. Gil, who had never used eBay before, said he plans to list the car again when he returns next month.
"This is the last item of Kissel's that I have to sell, so I have a special interest in it," he said.
The highest bid when Gil ended the auction was $40,100.
Kissel apparently bought his KITT from an auction house for $69,000 in 2005, but never picked it up. It's still in storage in California. Gil says pictures are available to verify its authenticity.
Kissel was found dead in his Greenwich mansion in April 2006 just days before he was to plead guilty in a multimillion-dollar real estate fraud case. His brother, Robert Kissel, died three years ago in Hong Kong when his wife fed him a strawberry milkshake laced with poison and bludgeoned him to death with a statue.

Geez... And KITTs can fetch a lot of money. One was auctioned off a few years ago, and talked about it in my Pontiac Magizines, and ET and Time. I can find the articles.

For some reason, it won't play for me. Something must be wrong with the connection.
