I’ve heard alot of stories about Hoff returning – we know GST and Hoff met for lunch, and we know that originally Hoff brought the series to NBC to do (the MK’s son angle) and has felt burndt since. I think more often than not it’s been Hoff trying to come back to the show, and frankly him getting treated unfairly by NBC on it. Though I’m sure that’s something that can easily be rectified.

Daniels is nearing 82 – so I wouldn’t wish the man having to do a weekly series again. Although it would require him to phone it in, he has more years behind him than he does ahead – so you couldn’t have him replace Kilmer.

What I had heard, and heard a few rumblings a couple months ago (but have since stopped since hoff is in Korea now filming a ‘movie’) was that he was going to come back for a mutli-episode arch – but not be recurring. If that rumor was to come about again, I would be for that – and then you could have Daniels come back as well.

This isn’t the 80s’ – as much as I look back to the original with nostalgia, I realize that having Hoff shouldn’t be a priority for the team behind the new one. Its about getting the message and the stories right. I agree with Seidman on that – it’s the writing stupid.

The William Daniels part is from what I hear mostly rumor, but possible for one show. The Hoff stuff is supposed to be bringing him back as a regular.

I agree the writing sucks, but the Hoff wants creative control. So if he got it, wouldn’t that help the writing? I mean could that show get any dumber?

Anyway, as someone who has ran a Knight Rider side for over 13 years (waits for laughter) we’ve have relationships with people on the show – and these rumors are nothing more than that. Even it’s something fans would want, the calm head realizes that Hoff might bring in ratings for a guest appearance, but will not save the show until the writing gets solid. It’s just distracting the larger issue with the episodes not being strong enough to hold the audience.

There is a lot of strong elements with this new series and hopefully the reboot will deliver stronger Mike and KITT focused episodes that will give the audience what it needs.

I’ve barely seen one commercial for Chuck all week, and that was combined with a Heroes ad. I’ve heard that Canada is getting more commercials for Chuck than the U.S. And that’s probably all Warner Brother’s doing, not NBC.

Of course that may not help. But its a worth a shot. Maybe a guest spot by AIRWOLF would help? LOL!

I am a true visionary! I said that weeks ago!

And don’t get me wrong– I LOVE Billy! Though at least 60% of that love is residual BSG Billy love

The Kay jewelers ads are there to brainwash men into thinking that all women love bright shiny things and so if you buy her some of our overpriced carbon, she’ll think you’re great. How could it be targeted at women when none of those ads show women buying the jewelry for themselves and women don’t generally wear Rolexs.

William Daniels is in his eighties and there is nothing anywhere that says he would be interested.

Too much Hollywood effects, not nearly enough of what made the series special in the first place.

The origional series still works today despite how campy some episodes were, this format is just not appealing.

“I was the one who brought the show back. You know I was the one that pitched it to NBC. I said go ahead run with it. Now we are brining it back again as a series. You know they tried to hook all the new audience with the new guys and now I’m coming back and hopefully I’m bringing… well all these guys that said what happened to the old KITT… So we got some surprises in store.”

I can’t even believe this show got the green light!

I got a kick as a kid watching the stuntman drive KITT dressed as the car seat. That was noticeable but amusing in a way.
