Knight Rider To Ride Again

Penguinsh*t writes "Though the movie version of Knight Rider has remained 'up on chocks' for the better part of the last decade, Knight Rider, the TV show is revving into high gear. 'The premise of the show will essentially remain the same as the original, which centered on a mulleted man righting wrongs with the help of a particularly chatty and souped-up automobile. No word yet on who will play the hero this time around, but the Peacock is looking for some new blood.' Besides which, 'the Hoff' is busy."

    What car will they be using as KITT?

    Toyota Prius, it's also being renamed to 'Eco Rider'. It'll be like Knight Rider, but more environmentally conscious. The car will also be blatantly homosexual, saying things like: 'Ooooh, I hope he planted a tree to offset those carbon emmissions!' when one of the bad guys appears in a big truck or tank.

    To appeal to minorities, 'The Hoff' will be replaced by an Asian lesbian, wearing a Burka, in a wheelchair. Don't worry though, the wheelchair will be capable of speeds of up to 50mph, has scythes in the wheels and machine guns in the arm rests.

    Wonder what beloved 80's TV show the movie/TV industry will rape next.
    Actually, they should just go the whole hog and combine two or three series into one new programme.
    Personally I'd like to see the KITTs of Hazzard, or the Six Million Dollar ALF.

    Above all, though, I'd like to see the A-Team take on the lizards from V. The only problem with that, though, is BA would never make it up to the mothership without being drugged, and the A-Team's complete inability to hit anything at all means that we'd all be lizard food within a matter of weeks.

    So was the A-team BTW, didn't they quit the army?

    Quit the army? They were sent to prison by a military court for a crime they didn't commit. Then they promptly escaped from a maximum security stockade to the Los Angeles underground.

    I'm also told that for quite some time, still wanted by the government, they survived as soldiers of fortune. And that if you had a problem, if no-one else could help, and if you could find them, maybe you could have hired the A-Team.

  14. Not "remakes": "revisionings" by Dystopian+Rebel · · Score: 2, Funny

    I hear that there's a growing consensus that the only remaining 1970s television show that the public is begging to see remade is "Good Times", so a darker revisioning of the old 1990s show "Friends" is in production.

    In the revisioning, "Phoebe" has been renamed "Geraldine" and is a serial killer who is hired by the Pentagon to do performance evaluations. "Joey" has been renamed "Angelo" and is in contact with a seductive alien who is trying to decide whether New York is a strange experiment and will destroy it if her suspicion is correct.

    "Rachel" is a Corporate Downsizing Consultant addicted to pain meds, "Monica" is a man with 6 months to live, "Chandler" is a Jack Russell terrier with only three legs, and Ross voted Republican in the last election.

    In this revisioning, none of the characters are friends.

    ... Rather than making the car intelligent through electronic & computer wizardry, they should instead make the new car "alive" as though it's posessed by a benevolent demon.

    And because of global warming, they should consider using a small economical car rather than a great big racy gas-guzzler - say something like a Volkswagen Beetle.

    And because the VW Beetle isn't known for its speed, they should paint it white and put a big racing stripe down the whole length of the car and a number, say a "53", to make it look like it's just been in a race!

    And then... oh wait.
