No wonder they think the Hoff is so cool in Germany...

The voiceover for the German version of Knight Rider makes it sound so much more menacing. What is it about the German language? You can throw the worst insults at me in French, and I'd think you were trying to make love to me. Say the same things in German, and I'm liable to cry on the spot from fear.

Almost as bad as making Bond drive a BMW instead of an Aston Martin...

If you haven't heard yet, NBC has plans to release a reinvented pilot of Knight Rider in a couple of months they're hoping might spawn interest in an entire new series. Now, you can make fun of the Hoff all you want and mock the corny plotlines of the original series back in the 80's, but as a kid, I thought Knight Rider was the coolest thing on TV. I had hopes that this new iteration would have the potential to be on par with another recent update of a classic Glen Larson-produced show--Battlestar Galactica. Alas, by the looks of some of the pictures, this might actually turn out even dumber than the original. As much as I like the Shelby Cobra, it seems completely wrong as K.I.T.T.

Oh, and the new voice of the Knight Industries Three Thousand supercar? None other than Arrested Development's George Oscar Bluth II. Huh? Will Arnett?!


If David Hasselhoff actually does make a cameo, I'll be convinced this is supposed to be a spoof comedy, and will be looking for Leslie Nielsen to pop out at some point in the show.

In case you ever wondered what Star Wars would have been like with The Hoff...

Do the Pingu...

Looking back at my archives, I've been a bit lax this month on the blog in comparison to other months such as September when we maxed out at 101 posts. Perhaps I'm a bit blogged out or maybe I just have nothing that important going on so that I don't feel compelled to procrastinate as much. Whatever the case may be, I've got a bit of writer's block, and will resort to a video today to insure that your week will be filled with an annoying song (unless you're two) playing over and over again in your brain. Just try and get it out of your head. I dare you! And, yes, that is the Hoff singing:
