oh really....Hollywood?...

 

Horrendous is such a strong word...unfortunately its not strong enough to describe the shows quality.

 

The show is terrible. But the car & hot women keep me coming back-lol

 

actually the ratings have improved and it has been in second place in its time slots both weeks. Yes, it is cheesy but it has always been just a dumb fun show that allows you to escape for an hour.

 

That sara chic is hot without the napalm!

 

Anything to get her clothes off.

 

I LOVE Prison Break! I've got all three seasons on DVD and am mad I'm missing the fourth on TV now.

 

if they want to bring the ratings up just bring back David Hasselhoff and have him sing the song "freedom" while standing on top of KITT....riiiiiiight

 

maybe the 10 mustang will be K.A.R.R

 

This past week KITT transformed to an Econoline Van... what's next a 2010 Fiesta to squeeze into a tight parking spot???

 

haha

 

According to the link below, NBC has ordered four more episodes of Knight Rider. I haven't exactly been keeping up with the show; will four more episodes take us to episode nine (where the 2010 Mustang is supposed to make its cameo).

That's four more beyond those they already ordered, tacked on at the end of the season.

 

I would Like to see Some New Camaros & Challengers in the Show as Villians! Or better yet KITT converting into a Monster Truck & Crushing Villianess Import Cars! BTMO!

KC

 

I wouldn't be suprised if KITT gets damaged and has to get rebuilt. While you're at it might as well use the new Shelby or new KR if they keep in in 2010.

 

...good thinking

DEARBORN, Mich., Nov. 18, 2008– The 2010 Ford Mustang is going to Hollywood.

The iconic American muscle car, which has outsold all competitors for more than 20 years, will make its TV debut on the Nov. 19 episode of NBC’s “Knight Rider,” which stars the Shelby GT500KR as the new version of KITT. The program airs at 8 p.m. EST on Wednesdays.

The 2010 Mustang will be revealed Nov. 18 at a special event in Santa Monica, Calif., and will be displayed at the Los Angeles International Auto Show Nov. 19-30.

“We’re delighted to bring the 2010 Mustang to prime time on NBC’s ‘Knight Rider,’ ” said Mustang brand manager Fritz Wilke. “With the Shelby GT500KR already showcased as the new KITT, it’s a perfect match.”

The 2010 Mustang’s appearance on “Knight Rider” is one of several ways this week to see the highly-anticipated redesign of the American automotive icon in years. Mustang enthusiasts also can tune in at 11 p.m. EST on Tuesday on the Speed network to see the reveal of the 2010 Mustang at Barker Hangar in Santa Monica.

Simultaneously, the Mustang Club of America will host nine regional reveal events at local movie theaters, where Mustang enthusiasts can see a special live feed of the broadcast. Mustang Club of America regional events will be held in Atlanta, Dallas, Houston, Tulsa, Okla., Detroit, Phoenix, Denver, Columbus, Ohio, and Tampa.

The 2010 Mustang will be seen in the episode “Knight of the Zodiac” inside the Satellite Surveillance Chamber, also known as the SSC or “KITT Cave.” The 2010 Mustang poses as KITT during an inspection and impresses everyone.

During the shooting, the show’s production crew maintained strict secrecy about the yet-to-be-revealed Mustang.

“The 2010 Mustang arrived in a truck which was backed into the stage. The car was unloaded, undercover and kept covered until we shot. Limited cast and crew were allowed on set. The moment we finished shooting the car was covered back up and put back in the truck and disappeared,” said Gary Scott Thompson, executive producer, “Knight Rider.” “Shooting this car was like working with a high-profile actress shooting a love scene. We closed the set and only had the necessary crew there to shoot the scene with this amazing car.”

The 2010 Mustang proudly builds on the car’s 45-year heritage with a more-aggressive, modern exterior design as well as a world-class interior. The 2010 Mustang also receives the latest in technology, including available Ford SYNC®, voice-activated navigation and a rearview camera system.

Chassis and powertrain improvements pioneered on Ford’s extensive racing and special programs have been rolled into the 2010 Mustang as well. The new pony car will deliver more power and better handling, thanks to the development work on the 2008-09 Mustang Bullitt and lessons learned through the Ford Racing Mustang Challenge series.

Also on Nov. 19, the final installment of the “Mustang Stories” film contest airs. For the previous nine weeks leading up to the Nov. 19 episode of “Knight Rider,” a 60-second trailer of a short film featuring the Ford Mustang debuts. The films, created through a partnership among Ford, worldwide advertising agency JWT Team Detroit and Filmaka, a celebrated global digital entertainment studio and online creative community, then can be seen in their entirety at www.the2010mustang.com.

Jonathan Newman has been named the grand-prize winner for his film “Father’s Day,” which chronicles a father’s deep-seated love for Mustang that finds him test-driving a rare Mustang several times until one day when the salesman informs he no longer can – for a surprising reason.

“The overall quality of the work was genuinely astounding and I am both thrilled and honored to be recognized by such an esteemed panel of industry experts as JWT Team Detroit and Ford,” Newman said.

“All films that were submitted were excellent, but Jonathan’s compelling characters and direction captured our attention,” said Caroline Pernot, Ford car communications manager. “We are thrilled to have Jonathan direct another film for the 2010 Ford Mustang. Jonathan’s film and all the other great ‘Mustang Stories’ film will be featured at Ford’s display at the Los Angeles International Auto Show.”

Nearly 400 scripts were submitted by filmmakers in 28 countries on six continents and 22 semi-finalists received the green light to produce their films. Ten winners were selected and featured during the 2010 Mustang launch.

 

Thanks for the info Brad!!! I'm liking the show!!

 

Me too. Last week's episode was excellent. Even the camera angles were miles better than before.

I wonder what GM thinks of NBC killing My Own Worst Enemy and continuing Knight Rider?

 

I want to see KITT transform into a humanoid robot, like the Camaro in the Transformers movie transformed into Bumblebee. But to be different, still let Michael Knight ride inside as pilot/passenger. That would be TEH WIN!!!
