Hello editors of Entertainment Weekly my name is Ryan Hilton and wanted to tell you a little bit about what I think is the best show on television since 2008 and still is today and that is the show “Knight Rider”.
Well first off the 2008 series of “Knight Rider” is based off of the original series that aired back in 1982. In the new series, a old man by the name of Charles Graiman (who discovered the art of artificial intelligence) is kidnapped and his daughter Sarah Graiman is sent to track down her ex-boyfriend Mike Traceur and together they rescue Sarah’s father and Mike discovers that his father is none other than Michael Knight (the original driver in the 1982 series). After realizing this Mike decides to hang with Sarah and Dr. Graiman and together with the help of KITT, a artificially intelligent Ford Shelby GT500KR, who in the original series was a Pontiac Trans Am, they fight against the world of crime and bring it to justice. Also with this trio they have the help of Carrie Rivai and Alex Torres who are FBI consultants and Billy Morgan and Zoe Chae providing them with technical support. The very first mission they attempt is probably the best one of them all because, Mike’s past comes back to haunt him and the two FBI consultants decide to fake his death and no longer does Mike Traceur cease to exist and Michael Knight is reborn again.
Later in the season there is one particular episode that I like, but don’t get me wrong I like all of them just this one really hit my interest. The episode “Knight to King’s Pawn”, Sarah is devastated by her father’s death, who died in a plane crash when trying to land, decides that she just needs to get away but only to be followed by Mike who is very concerned about her. While Mike and Sarah are away, the NSA shuts down the program and pulls KITT’s main chip out of him. With the main chip of KITT in NSA hands, they try to put the main chip in another prototype named KARR, which before was shut down after something went wrong and killed and destroyed everything in its path. When Mike and Sarah returned and realized what had happened they were determined to fix KITT, with the help of Zoe and Billy, and put the end to Karr.
Knight Rider in short is just what I think one of the best drama, action, and adventured packed shows of 2008 and still is in the year of 2009 and hopefully it will for rest of the years that it’s aired.
