Team Knight Rider is a syndicated television series that was adapted from the Knight Rider franchise and ran between 1997 and 1998. TKR was created by writer/producers Rick Copp and David A. Goodman, based on the original series created by Glen A. Larson, who was an executive producer. TKR was produced by Gil Wadsworth and Scott McAboy and was distributed by Universal Domestic Television and ran only a single season of 22 one-hour episodes before it was canceled due to poor ratings. The story is about a new team of high-tech crime fighters assembled by the Foundation for Law and Government who follow in the tracks of the legendary Michael Knight and his supercar KITT. Instead of "one man making a difference", there are now five team members who each has a computerized talking vehicle counterpart. Like the original duo, TKR goes after notorious criminals who operate "above the law" – from spies and assassins, to terrorists and drug dealers. The final episode of the season, and series, featured the reappearance of Michael Knight, seen only from behind, at the very end.

ben_thurber Out of all the shows that network execs killed, this is, perhaps, one of the three saddest (the other two on the top three are Crusade and Firefly). The idea of having a whole team of Knight Riders with their own vehicles was, in essence, brilliantly conceived, and the show was actually a fantastic idea. It would've done even better if the network execs had let the creativity flow the way the creators wanted it to flow instead of trying to "suggest (i.e. demand)" things. Perhaps seeing less of Erica's overtly sexual advances and more of trying to build the dynamic between drivers and cars (one of the secrets of the original series), or having the relationships between them all build, the show would have survived. As it was, it should've made it.
Jonny Porter The major concern with this show (apart from the lack of any originality or plot) is the fact that there are too many characters and machines to get to know. And they all seem to be very much the same. Synthesized voices and (less than) witty comebacks. They are all poor cousins of K.I.T.T The effects are so cheap it feels like it could be the another version of Power Rangers. The actors are pretty but talentless and if a chatty Land Rover is your idea of entertainment this is right up your street. For me it couldn't be anymore uninspiring. Some of the thin plots linked to Michael Knight as if that was going to entice you to stay tuned. But even the cheese-meister that is Hasselhoff, wouldn't bring himself to guest star on this crud.Shouldn't have got past the pilot stage.
darknight_sa I have seen all the episodes of the series and i believe that it had the misfortune to be overshadow by the original series although it worth more attention than the one given. I think that the actors and actresses were all great and the cars amazing.I am a big fan of Christine Steel who i believe was more than great.IT WAS A PITY IT WAS CANCELED.
JamesPP Why was this so bad? Because the decision to make it came from 90's TV execs. This was trying to be slick and hip with a young politically correct cast and no relation to the original whatsoever. The ORIGINAL series was successful because it didn't take itself seriously. And it had humour! And character actors who developed 'brand loyalty'. Now if Universal had approached Larson Entertainment and persuaded Hasselhoff to return with the Original KITT (ignoring the mistake that was KR2000) and all new Larson-stable plots and directors, we would have had a guaranteed hit.
