When Michael agrees, he discovers that most of the original KITT has been disassembled and sold off for parts, so he rebuilds the car's AI and installs it in his 1957 Chevy. Worried that they won't be able to deliver, Knight Foundation head Devon Miles (Edward Mulhare, reprising his role from the original show) convinces Michael Knight (a returning Hasselhoff) to come out of retirement.
To remedy the situation, the new mayor (Lou Beatty Jr.) asks the Knight Foundation to accelerate the development of its new project, a follow-up to KITT called the Knight Industries Four Thousand. At the start, the mayor of San Antonio is killed by an assailant (Mitch Pileggi) with a real gun, which reinforces the cops' view that their lack of actual weapons puts them at a disadvantage.
And the criminals themselves are no longer incarcerated instead, they're just cryogenically frozen for the duration of their sentences.ĭepending on your point of view, this might sound like a salutary or terrible situation, but the police in that far-off year of 2000 hate it. Handguns have been banned and cops carry ultrasound blasters that incapacitate criminals. I believe this show deserved at least another season to prove its worth.In Knight Rider 2000, it's the year 2000 and America has changed its views on policing. There was continuity between the two shows and it was nice to see them move away from the KR 2000 timeline and just work a new one in. It was also great to see why there was now a TEAM and not just ONE hero. It was nice to see the two motorcycles damaged and rebuilt. The vehicles themselves were awesome, and I do hope they are safely stored away somewhere to be shown off at some future time.
These were *new* personalities, and to me that was its charm. Fans who wanted the KITT/Michael relationship were bound to be disappointed since this was NOT a show focusing on KITT and Michael. I believe if they had been given another season to work through, the actors could have grown into the roles more and the relationships with the vehicles would have developed further.
Many people judge it harshly, but I believe that the voice acting of the vehicles and the acting on the part of the drivers was good. TKR was a good show with lots of potential.
