Not sure if this is good or bad, but NBC is looking to revamp and re-launch another older cheesy action series: KNIGHT RIDER.

The Bionic Woman pulled some impressive numbers for its debut and that appears to have re-energized the suits at the peacock network. They feel this turkey should be inflicted upon us yet again.

They have signed director Doug Liman (The Bourne Identity, Mr. and Mrs. Smith) to helm the two-hour made-for-TV movie (which would double as a pilot if it does well). This teleflick may reach the airwaves by next spring. If the tv movie does well, the series would likely appear next fall.

I wonder what car company will make the new KITT? That is a hell of a big product placement.

No word on who will be driving the car. My vote: Paul Walker. Hey, it would keep him from making any more movies.

The original Knight Rider aired, on NBC, from 1982 to 1986
