"What do you expect him to do? Take meditation classes, to try and get in touch with his inner Prius?" - Micheal Knight, Season 1, Episode 2

Kitt is back. With an attitude, and an arrangement of Ford Vehicles available at his whim to transform between, including a Mustang, and and F-150. He's already managed to toast a half million dollar car((Which annoys me, cause it was a SWEET car!)), cleverly defeat an EMP-Pulse generating machine, save Micheal Knight from a Napalm attack, and help Micheal uncover a little bit of his mysterious past. In addition to his new-found abilities, Kitt has a wide range of personality upgrades, including a sense of humor beyond the original Kitt's, and a fancy for Western Movies.
He also has a state-of-the-art repair/control facility, a pick-up plane, and rather amazing wi-fi tapping abilities.
I have to admit to being curious here, though, what happened to Karr, as any knight rider fan will probably likewise be curious.
Watching Kitt pull off his aerodynamic stunts is pretty nifty, and making Fords look pretty sweet.((A much needed image boost.))
And Micheal Knight's bodacious side-kick isn't half bad to look at either.

((Just for the record he didn't defeat the EMP pulse by himself, he had help from the "KITT-crew" who re-routed power to his back-up generators

))

I must say that as an avid Knight Rider fan over the years, I am personally quite pleased with this new adaptation. As for KARR ("Knight Automated Roving Robot"), remember, this is a NEW Knight Industries & KITT stands for Knight Industries Three Thousand and it was the Knight Industries Two Thousand that had a "twin" called KARR, who was built by Knight Industries prior to KITT n resurrected by an evil criminal, Garth, if memory serves me, so he (KARR) was a KITT prototype. Who knows Adam, all great things need a start, so KARR could also "be back" in l8r episodes as a prototype to the Knight Industries Three Thousand, n remember, KARR wasn't there right away in TOS so have patience my friend, KARR could still return too! All in all I think this was a great idea for FORD (awesome vehicles so far) n NBC (becomin very competative nowadays) n that this series will rock! I must also admit though, the Knight Industries Two Thousand had a much more...idk..."friendly" voice n nothing beats the original; nonetheless though...LONG LIVE KNIGHT RIDER & THE KNIGHT INDUSTRIES THREE THOUSAND

Kinda...I'm not sure if I like him as a robot-machine type thing...I much prefer KARR as another car like KITT like in the classics...but this should prove interesting nonetheless

O...M...G!!! I just finished watching the episode "The King to the Knight's Pawn" (Or sumthing like that, forgot really)...and KARR was amazing!!! I especially like the fact that to me anyway, he sounded like one of the Transformer robots from the movie, although I couldn't choose which...kinda sounded like Optimus at times, kinda sounded like Megatron...a mix perhaps??? lol! Anyhow, that was an awesome season finale (if that's what it was, cuz it seemed like it) and I can't wait for more Knight Rider now...things can only get better!
