Synopsis

Knight Rider is a series that follows the 1982 TV series of the same title and the 2008 television movie. The series stars Justin Bruening as Mike Traceur, the estranged son of Michael Knight, who in turn becomes the new Knight Rider. The series also stars Deanna Russo as Sarah Graiman, Traceur's former girlfriend/current love interest. Sarah is daughter of Charles Graiman, played by Bruce Davison, the creator of a new generation of KITT (Knight Industries Three Thousand), voiced by Val Kilmer.

In advance of its anticipated weekly run, the new Knight Rider series was introduced with a television movie on February 17, 2008. The new series premiered on NBC on September 24, 2008 and leads the network's Wednesday evening lineup, along with Deal or No Deal and Lipstick Jungle. During the fall season there will be encore showings on Saturday evenings.

Critics' reviews

"Not even kids should have to suffer through this"

Chicago Sun-Times
"'Knight Rider' is a disaster, a remake so deliriously and delectably bad that you have to watch just to tell your grandchildren that you were there"

Verne Gay: Newsday
Knight Rider is something for 12-year-old boys (and 12-year-old-boys at heart), undemanding, unsophisticated, no deeper than the thickness of a comic-book page. Read full review

Robert Lloyd: Los Angeles Times
"You've heard of artificial intelligence? How about no intelligence, which is the sum total of what went into transforming a 1980s TV show nobody cares about into a new, updated version nobody will watch."

Austin Smith: New York Post
"Everything--the characters, the action--seems stubbornly flat."

Matthew Gilbert: Boston Globe
"'Knight Rider', a remake that stays true to the awfulness of the original. It's so bad it's good, in a bad way."

Jonathan Storm: Philadelphia Inquirer
