Storyline

Mike Traceur a bitter former Army Ranger and failed race car driver, just got a new lease on life, neither he cares for or wants this chance to make up for his past failings. FLAG wants a new driver, but he is hesitant to join this mysterious group and doubts this super car or he can make a difference. He's got problems, he's in debt and people want to kill him. The choice is all too obvious for him and the Knight Industries Three Thousand (K.I.T.T).

User Reviews

What Can I say about this follow up series

What Can I say thats not already been said, bad acting, horrible plot, seems more like a Ford Commercial than a tribute to the original. Lets start with the basics..KITT from the 80's seems more advanced that this new reincarnation..KITT was indestructible whether he was activated or not..for this version the car is completely vulnerable and seems more like a step back than forward..they should have combined the technologies to make it more believable..and making Michael Knight seem like a deadbeat dad most have upset all the true fans of the original. I recommend a complete revamp of this show before they make it a series full time..thats my humble opinion.
