Knight Rider Returning to TV

If you watched the recent made-for-TV remake of “Knight Rider” and came through it still awake and intrigued by the campy concept of a driverless car, you can rejoice. NBC has given the green light for a full-fledged series. Despite the wooden acting, Val Kilmer’s boring monotone, the ridiculous plot, and the holes in said plot you could drive a semi-truck through, the ratings for the movie were quite good.

The writers’ strike and subsequent dearth of original TV might have led to those ratings. And, yes, this story was first reported yesterday. It is not an April Fool’s joke.
