If you're wondering whether
Lipstick Jungle or
Knight Rider will earn a spot on your
Fall TV viewing schedule, you won't have to wait till their TV premieres next week to find out. Both shows are
premiering online today as part of an NBC plan to get shows into online viewers' hands early.
Lipstick and Knight Rider are just two of the shows NBC is premiering this way;
Chuck,
Life, and
30 Rock will also be up on NBC's website a week before their premiere dates.
Ooooh, ahhhhhh. Check out the Knight Rider building. (I think it's in Germany, with all of
the Hoff's fans, besides me, of course.) I won't lie.
I wish I drove just so I could have this thing on my dashboard telling me where to go in KITT's voice. How awesome would it be to have
David Hasselhoff's greatest hits on at the same time? Driving nirvana.
The revamped, modernized version of
Knight Rider premiered on NBC last night as a two-hour movie — though the expectation is that if the movie gets good ratings, it
could set up a new Knight Rider series. Personally, I was more excited about the project back when
Will Arnett was still the voice of KITT, but hey, what can you do?
Most of you
weren't too excited back when we first heard about this project, but I'm wondering if curiosity got the best of you last night.
For one of the first times since the
writers' strike began, I'm actually having trouble deciding what to watch on TV tonight. NBC has the season finale of
American Gladiators and the premiere of the
Knight Rider movie (and possible series), while ABC has the final pre-strike episode of
Brothers and Sisters. Meanwhile, CBS has the premiere of its cleaned-up version of
Dexter, and Fox has new episodes of all of its animated shows.
OK, so this little teaser NBC just released of its two-hour
Knight Rider movie is only 15 seconds long. It also doesn't reveal anything about the plot of the movie, which is set to air Feb. 17.
