It's time for another round of 'everything old is new again,' with NBC's recent revision of the classic 80's crime fighting show "Knight Rider!" First "American Gladiators," now this! Will we see a return of "Manimal?" Seriously, though . . . last Sunday night NBC aired an updated version of "Knight Rider," starring Justin Bruening as Mike Tracer (the new driver/crime fighter) and Val Kilmer as the voice of the new car. Now, the angel didn't get to see the two hour movie event, but word has the 'Hoff made an appearance, reviving his role as Michael Knight. K.I.T.T. is back too, but this time around it's a Mustang (Ford Mustang Shelby GT500KR, to be precise). So what kind of car was the original K.I.T.T., as seen in the original 80's Knight Rider series?
Bonus Question: Back in the 80's, David Letterman used to go through the T.V. Guide and point out shows where the main character faces his or her own 'evil twin.' It was a plot device that got used quite a lot, and "Knight Rider" was no exception. In one episode, David Hasselhoff and his amazing computer controlled car actually had to battle another amazing computer controlled car. It turns our that K.I.T.T.'s evil nemesis was actually the first prototype of a talking automobile, produced by Knight Industries before they got their act together. It was slated to be dismantled due to flaws in its programming, but somehow it escaped the scrap heap and it's out to settle the score! So what was the name of K.I.T.T.'s evil twin? (And you have to get the spelling right!)
