I was one of those kids that actually loved the reboot of Knight Rider, I was 13 and I remember watching the Pilot Episode of Knight Rider. I actually kept up with the series everyweek on NBC and made me love this car so much at the time. It got me so obsessed with the KR and supersnake and I actually bought a 1:18 scale model of kitt. Loved the show and watching this makes me feel nostalgic, love this car even though its a v6 lol.

Yeah, looking back on it, it seems that the majority of the ratings were 12-15 year old young males. That is exactly when I found it and it was one of my all time favorite tv shows. Now that I’m much older, the acting doesn’t hold up, the story line is not the best, and the action/ stunts would’ve been fine if hadn’t been for the horrible showdown at the end. Having KARR turn into a literal transformer is what I believe put the nail firmly in the coffin for this show. It probably would’ve been canceled anyway but most likely could’ve seen 1-2 more seasons. All in all, it has a special place in my heart and I still love it more than the original but it makes complete sense why it ended early.

The story was not so good and the fact that the car could "transform" in all FORD vehicle made no sense and because that I felt we lost all the connection to the old show. Another issue was the HQ with the car spinning and rolling in all directions was pointless and was thrown with no excuse for that.

I watched this Knight Industries Three Thousand show but not on TV. I ordered it through Netflix as DVD mailed to me some years ago.. around 2011 I believe. I enjoyed the show and yes grew up with the old show that had David Hasslehoff, one of my favorite TV series as a kid in the 80s. Too bad this newer one wasn't as popular. It was pretty cool in my opinion. Took a little bit getting used to a Mustang but it was a cool car and actually have a 2014 Mustang myself now.

I enjoyed the new show. I wasn't a big fan of the transformation aspect, specially because it reminded me a lot of the Viper TV show. BTW they mocked the thought of a talking car. Also I remember that at the end of the season/show finale it shows that had the show been given a 2nd season it was going to line up more with the original series. I wish NBC had given it a chance to expand on this arc.

They tried re-creating Knight Rider with "Team Knight Rider." It also lasted one season... why? No Trans Am K.I.T.T., no Devin Miles, no Bonnie and no Michael. Instead we had a team with 5 vehicles (FORDS and a motor cycle thing) with A.I. and K.I.T.T. was a ball on a table in a jet. Knight Rider 2000 was the last true Knight Rider. The Dodge Stealth with the body kit on it felt more like K.I.T.T. than the Mustang in the reboot.

Everyone does realize that it was even said that this was a sequel to the original series, not a reboot. It was said by everyone who made the pilot movie that it was a direct sequel to the 80s show following Michael's son, and they said they didn't change anything about the original KITT. I want to know why people think that this KITT (3000) is replacing the original KITT (2000), when he's not. I love the original just like everybody else, but i also love this one cause i grew up watching it. I think its funny when people say "there is only one KITT and he's a trans am"... Well sadly that's not true, there is another and he's a Mustang. People will always love the original, but there are people that love this show even though it was cancelled, I'll admit that the pilot move definitely needed a lot of work, especially with all the characters to follow, but the tv series to me was good for a show that was trying to show some of the same heart of the original, and by the end of the cancelled series KITT (3000) was making jokes like KITT from ghe original show and was showing that he was capable of being a human like the original KITT. Sorry, I just realized I made a whole book for no reason, but hopefully people will see what I see when looking at this series.

I grew up with the reboot of the series and I loved it. I must have been around 11 years old and now I just rewatched the show. Some time ago I also wanted to see the OG series, but I didn't like it as much. I guess the reason why people like the old series more is, because since they mostly grew up with it so for them it has a huge nostalgic factor to it. Same goes for me, just with the new series. I remember googling for car brands with that cobra logo afte the show was finished and finding out about the Shelby Mustang. I remember telling everyone that one day I will drive this exact same car. It hasn't changed ever since and my love for Mustangs didn't stop yet and I am really looking forward to owning this car one day. However, in my opinion, they messed up the end of the series. It should have either ended after episode 12, when they defeated KARR or they should have changed some things in the following episodes. For example: As far as I can remember, in the pilot film it was said that Mike didn't know his father (turning out it was Michael aka David Hasselhoff right at the end at his mom's funeral). In the semi-last episode Mike says he is taking his days off at Sunny's, a bar his dad used to take him when he was younger. Doesn't seem to make a lot of sense, does it? Also I didn't like the fact that they used to make a huge thing about this whole Mike and Sarah romance thing in former episodes and, in the exact same episode as I just mentioned, Mike suddenly has an obvious thing going on with that blonde girl and Sarah doesn't even bother, when she used to kinda make a scene every time another female chatakter came a little closer to mike than she liked. Except that semi-last episode I really loved the reboot and I can say that it really shaped me in some kind of way. It was my favorite tv show as a kid and it is still one of my favorites. For me, KITT will always be a black Mustang and I am glad they took such an amazing car (which can be seen as a milestone in (amarican) car-culture) for the role of KITT in a revival of a series that has been playing such a big role in pop culture like Knight Rider did.

Thank you for preserving my childhood. Unfortunately I never grew up in the 80's and watched the original. I grew up watching the reboot glued to the TV every new episode. As a young kid I loved the show, Looking back at the show it really did have potential if it wasn't directed by idiot kids and it's sad to see it only lasted 1 season. Plus what a shame it was only a V6... That really breaks my heart more than anything 😥 That should be a crime. I really think they should have cut money anywhere possible to get a genuine KR... What a heartbreaker. They say never meet your hero's.. I know why now 😢

The show did have a lot of characters which was... too much. Lot of crazy CGI too at times. The super mode was stupid. I did enjoy KITT transforming into other Ford vehicles because it played into the stories (like the F-150 for the off road forest episodes, the crown vic as a police car, a ford fusion as a casino prize, etc.). The KARR episode was too much as well however, it was one of the better episodes without a doubt. I love this car and glad they chose it because it is simply cool. Also, I daily drive a V6 Camaro and I love it. Yes, mine is yellow...

Part of the problem was from what I read was interference by NBC that gave us a substandard show. I thought the nanotech transformations were cool and were appropriate for the scenes they were used in. Especially when K.I.T.T. transformed into a F150 Raptor for an off road chase and in another episode when they were on the run K.I.T. T. transformed into a 1968 Mach 1 when they went to hide in plain sight.

I didn't like the Mustang in this role at all, mainly because it has totally inefficient shape and doesn't fit the idea of a supercar, also they din't really do anything to make it interesting, only the pointless lights everywhere. Why would a supercar have flat front while it's aerodynamically ineficcient? Why would it reveal it's presence with pointless lights all around? In the old KITT everything (almost) made sense, it was black with no lights (exept for the scanner), the dashboard had a lot of controls but no F&F style lighting, you could even imagine the central part of the nose was shaped accumulate energy so to allow easier ramming through walls. The Mustang lacked all of these features. But the main problem was the script- predictable, with overused and boring tricks, together extensive use of cgi instead of proper stunt driving made it all pretty grotesque and laughable.

I know it because I watched the show. It took a while for it to grow on me but I enjoyed it for the most part. One of the big mistakes however was to do the full-out transforming. Changing the colour or small details (like in the pilot movie) made more sense. It's my understanding that the series was much more popular in Europe, Germany in particular. I've been trying to get my hands on the DVD set but it's extremely difficult to find.

Maybe its just because i dont remember it that well, but from what can recall, the show was never that bad, i mean it wasn't as good as the original, but I dont think it was unwatchable. I guess thats because it just falls in line as one of many cable tv crime dramas from the turn of the decade, and because of that its forgettable. And if your show is about a talking futuristic car that fights crime, and its forgettable, you're doing something wrong.

Technically, he is right. The car in the Knight Rider 2000 movie was the Knight Industries FOUR THOUSAND -- Which abbreviates to K.I.F.T. -- Michael Knight kinda mangled that show's effort, too -- putting the Two Thousand A.I. into the Four Thousand car.

Glen Larson didn't want to do a tv show. He was in the middle of making a movie version and universal wanted to do the TV show. He almost didn't get an executive producer credit which almost got the show cancelled since he owned the rights to the name knight rider. In fact I know from a friend of mine that was a friend of Glens that he didn't even like the Mustang. It had nothing to do with transformers using a camaro.

The movie/pilot for the new show was great. If the series had picked up where the movie left off and kept KITT the same it would have done much better. I was kinda ok with turning into the truck but attack mode sucked majorly!! And then the whole KITT - KARR transforming thing was rediculous!! I did really like KITT as the Mustang though. I think using a Camaro would have been to easy. Even being the new version. I think the Mustang was a good switch. Glad to see you are back with some vids. Hope to see some more soon!!

No it wasn't. The plot was boring and predictable, some characters behaved stupidly, and many scenes utilized cheap tricks which were supposed to create tension, but they are so cliche you knew what is going to happen, so they were only annoying. The new KITT was bad as well, a Mustang is exactly the opposite to how such car would look like. Every time they make a car that is capable of reaching very high velocities it has shape somehow similar to the IIIgen Trans Am, not the Mustang with it's aerodynamically inefficient flat front. If they attempted to build a car that can ram through walls, it would also probably have a pike-like nose, the TransAm-KITT had, because such element would allow to accumulate all energy of impact on small surface and break the structure of the obstacle.

I was like, 7 when i watched the 2008 knight rider, i fuckin LOVED the show, and it was what got me into knight rider. I just loved the idea of a talking car that could do awesome shit, and coming off of transformers (i was raised off of michael bay's one) the car transforming was an amazing aspect, that also reminded me of the movie taxi (the comedic one with jimmy fallon, not the 1970's one) I didn't even know there WAS an original til like i was 8 or so, when i found mods for KITT on GTA san andreas videos back on youtube. My dad also had a mustang (the 2001 GT), so that cemented my love for the mustang knight rider. It's only been til recently that i actually watched the orignal knight rider, and obviously that's the better one no doubt, but I do love the look of the 2008 mustang KITT, it has a special place in my heart, and without that KITT, i would not know about knight rider at all

There was also a middle couple of Knight Riders before the version you talk about. A TV movie and Team KR as well fella

Yes, that movie for T.V. was done but they really wanted to reboot the T.V. series with David Hasselhoff. He was doing Baywatch and I believe his contract was up and Knight Rider came to him to see if he would like to be in the reboot of Knight Rider. Hasselhoff said no to Knight Rider and continued Baywatch, but he did agree to do Knight Rider 2000 the T.V. movie I think in 90 or 91. None of this is official, Im just repeating what I was told 28 years ago when I was pissed off they did a movie and not a series. As a Knight Rider fan, I watched the first episode of the reboot and was done. I guess I just have mid 80 trans am bias issues because I thought the T.V. movie sucked too. I mean for what it was, it would have been great, but seriously, the trans am car was the star of the show.

The Trans Am was such a unique style of car, it worked so well for the 80s series. Opinions will likely differ to mine, but when I saw the 2008 Mustang I just thought: "No, this doesn't work." The healing factor instantly weakened the appeal of the car and transforming into other vehicles was just weird. Then the double red beams on the front looked awful to me. You can package and rebrand something as much as you want, if people are trying to cash in on an old idea, it is likely it fail.

But it was the 2008 show that got me hooked for the series!!!
