Zap2it Fall TV Preview 2008: NBC's New Shows

Zap2it Fall TV Preview 2008: NBC's New Shows: Knight Rider (NBC)
Drama

Premieres: Wednesday, Sept. 24

Premise: Based on the 80s series. The classic KITT car has become even cooler -- thanks nanotechnology! -- and Michael Knights son is now behind the wheel.

First Impressions: Frankly, the TV movie/back-door pilot underwhelmed. Amped-up effects and the presence of Fast and the Furious writer Gary Scott Thompson as showrunner may help recapture the goofy fun that made the show a favorite of our 11-year-old selves.

Stars: Justin Bruening (Cold Case), Deanna Russo (NCIS), Sydney Tamiia Poitier (Veronica Mars), Bruce Davison (X-Men, Close to Home), Paul Campbell (Battlestar Galactica), Yancey Arias (Thief, Kingpin), Smith Cho (Meet Dave, Blades of Glory)

Studio: Universal Media Studios and Dutch Oven Productions

Producers: David Bartis (Heist, The OC), Doug Liman (Mr. and Mrs. Smith, The Bourne Identity), Gary Scott Thompson (Las Vegas, The Fast and the Furious) and David Andron
