Official: Knight Rider TV Series airing Wednesday nights this Fall

Well for those who did like the pilot of the new Knight Rider series you would have been pleased to know that just a few days ago we said that NBC might just run a TV series of Knight Rider. Well NBC have officially announced that the new series will be airing this Fall on Wednesday nights.

It was hoped that Knight Rider would be on the Friday night slot, however the pilot episode did not do that well to warrant wasting a good Friday night slot. Only time will tell if the new Knight Rider series will become a popular TV show, however I do not think that it will ever be as good as the original.

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.
