Word broke this week that NBC is in the works to [produce a remake](http://www.zap2it.com/tv/news/zap-nbcknightriderremake,0,7787604.story)
of the 80’s classic [Knight Rider show](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Knight_rider).
Not much information is available except to say that [The Hoff](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Hasselhoff)
won’t leading this version and that KITT will have Transformers capabilities (i.
e., will be able to change its shape).

While I LOVE the Knight Rider remake idea (uh, hello [A Team](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_team)
remake?), I’m not sure how I feel about the conceptual merge with Transformers. 
I think someone thought a bit too far outside the box on that one; I’m sure the 
same exec wanted to do a [Strawberry Shortcake](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strawberry_Shortcake)
remake/remix with [Jem & The Misfits](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jem_%28TV_series%29).

Oh, and while I’m on the topic of retro-awesome shows that need a modern comeback
touch (a la Knight Rider) I must mention [American Gladiators](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_Gladiators).
I can just see [Mark Burnett remixing](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Burnett)
that show with [Survivor](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Survivor_%28TV_series%29),
awesometown!
