NBC Revisiting ‘Knight Rider’
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Action, Sci-Fi/Horror, NBC,
You gotta wonder if the network responsible for resurrecting American Gladiators and Bionic Woman is simply brilliant or desperate for ideas. It has just been announced that NBC will be dusting off another classic show for today’s audience: Knight Rider. A two-hour movie will air later this season; if viewers respond, it will most likely serve as a new series’ pilot. (The original show, starring David Hasselhoff, aired from 1982-1986.)
Why Knight Rider? Well it seems the success of Transformers has given the Peacock execs millions of (unoriginal) ideas to play with. What if K.I.T.T. could also change shapes? What if there were ‘evil’ versions of the K.I.T.T. mobile?
While I’m tempted to write this movie off altogether, the film is being produced by Doug Liman (Swingers, The Bourne Identity). (Those of you who regularly watch the FilmCrunch reviews already know how much I love his directorial work.) So with hesitance, I admit I’ll be watching the remake—if only to see Michael Knight’s retooled leathers.

The Bionic Woman Premieres Tonight
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Action, NBC, Gossip, Ratings,
Still struggling to find a ratings hit for the fall season, NBC has dipped into the cutting room closet to resurrect a show that failed in the first place. For some reason, I’m thinking the newly revamped Bionic Woman isn’t going to work. Call it intuition if you like, but I’m basing my prediction on the past. It didn’t work the first time. Why should it become a hit the second? This time, the Bionic Woman (Jaime) will be played by Michelle Ryan. She’s a pregnant bartender on her way to Paris. Then, the terrible automobile accident strikes, and Jaime is left sans limbs. Her boyfriend just happens to be part of a special ops prosthetic program, which he uses to secretly rebuild her. The result is a very pissed-off woman who uses her new bionic limbs to kick some serious butt. Will it last past one season? Check it out tonight at 9/8c on NBC and decide.
