Filed under: Time Warp , Celebrities We all know what a disaster the 2-hour Knight Rider movie was ( click here for a refresher). Regardless, the return of the series has been green lit for the Fall and Shadowy Flight recently sat down for an interview with Gary Scott Thompson, Executive Producer and Showrunner of the series. Thompson's credentials include creating the show Las Vegas and the original Fast and the Furious movie, and he also points out that he had nothing to do with the 2-hour Knight Rider movie that aired in February. The show's new EP revealed that he and his writers are leaving the 2-hour movie in the past. His new writing staff, which includes writers from Lost , Prison Break and Smallville , but also Walker, Texas Ranger and Charmed , is dealing with some of those plot points introduced in the movie that now can't be ignored, but are basically going to start all over again with the first episode.

Filed under: Coupes , Ford , Lifestyle , Celebrities Well, this morning, NBC made it official: Wednesday nights this Fall we'll all be able to say "Hello, Mike", as Knight Rider returns to the weekly schedule. The Peacock network unveiled its Fall lineup today and, despite rumors that it would appear on Friday nights, the new Knight Rider is relegated to the Hump night at 8-9PM EST.

Filed under: Sports/GTs , Etc. , Ford , Celebrities You'll see more of him this Fall. Click above for a gallery of the new KITT. var digg_url = 'http://digg.com/television/NBC_greenlights_Knight_Rider_weekly_series'; The Knight Rider TV movie was not good . The updated, Shelby Mustang-based KITT looked undeniably cool (when not in Ugly... er... Attack Mode, at least), but the acting was wooden and the writing was a horror show. Still, the ending completely set up a potential ongoing story. Today comes word that the ratings were apparently good enough for the suits to give a thumbs-up for a new weekly series starting this Fall. Early reports suggest a Friday night timeslot is in the works, but that's subject to change; all will be known on Wednesday when NBC presents its early upfronts. We'll assume that at the very least, stars Justin Breuning (Mike Traceur) and Deanna Russo (Mike Traceur's Girlfriend) will return to fill our flatscreens with emotionless line reading...
