''Transformers'' Credited For ''Knight Rider'' TV Return
By bwbm on Friday, September 28, 2007
The once-popular "Knight Rider" franchise has been tapped by NBC to return to television by autumn of 2008, reports ENewsI.
Citing the Daily Variety, our sister-site reports that NBC has called upon Doug Liman ("Bourne Identity," "Mr. and Mrs. Smith) to produce and possibly direct a two-hour long movie to gauge interest in the show. If the interest is high enough, a full-blown series will be produced.
What is interesting though, is that the studios have cited the recent success of the movie of another 80's property "Transformers" as the reason why the network is attempting to revive the franchise in the first place.

OMG, I do remember Team Knight Rider. There was also the fiasco that was Knight Rider 2000.

I think it also has a bit to do with Heroes. Check NBC's fall schedule. it's all superheroes.

I remember Knight Rider and all of its spawn. I remembered it being the greatest TV show EVER!
Then I caught a few episodes on SciFi and thought..."Hm. How old was I when I thought that show was good?"
That being said, I DID catch the new Bionic Woman and was supremely impressed. If they do a re-vamp of Knight Rider like they did Bionic Woman, then it could possibly be a really good show.

Airwolf WAS thought of at one time but thanks to USA Network running it into the ground with it's BAD adaptation of it then no more was the answer
Hugo Weaving was thought of for KITT and he turned it down latest is it is up in the air
Car is supposed to be the beloved 2009 Camaro with an original trans am kitt making a cameo
