How many lives could have been saved, we’ll never know.Found: one bizarre photo. Needed: something else. So...came across a story here behind the original idea for the Knight Rider series that talks about the idal version of the show, which, with its concept of limited dialogue, could actually be a cool concept in the
“Brandon Tartikoff once gave California magazine this version of the creation of Knight Rider: It seems he and one of his assistants were discussing the problems of casting handsome leading men in the series, because many of them can’t act. Why not have a series, he mused, called “The Man of Six words,” which would begin with the guy getting out of a woman’s bed and saying “Thank You.” Then he would chase down some villians and say “Freeze!” Finally the grateful almost-vitims would thank him, and he would murmur, “You’re welcome.” End of show. In between, the car could do the talking.”
And the rest is Baywatch history. As an aside, the Weinstein Brothers are apparently bringing KITT to the big screen. Lemmee guess, the Hoff will now be the voice of KITT and Ben Stiller will play....?
Be afraid.
