Knight Rider given greenlight for a weekly series by NBC

Recently NBC aired a TV movie special of the new Knight Rider show; however it was not sure if NBC was ever to commission a weekly series. NBC must have come under a lot of pressure from viewers who enjoyed the TV special as it now looks as though NBC will give the Knight Rider a weekly series.

Although the movie was not good, maybe because the car could act better than the actors, it had a plot that was left open for an ongoing series. NBC confirmed that the ratings were just about good enough to commission a new series. According to sources Knight Rider might get a Friday night timeslot.

It seems as if actors Justin Breuning and Deanna Russo, and also Val Kilmer returning as the voice of KITT. I hoped that they would replace those wooden actors, one thing that does not need changing is the cool looking Shelby GT500KR.
