paging macgyver?

i heard that knight rider is making a come back. but for all those who doesn't know who knight rider is here is a brief background.

What i KNOW:
1. Michael Knight - is played by David Hasslehoff. Yes, the guy who run in the beach wearing his trunks and orange jacket in Baywatch.

2. Kitt - his very futuristic car, but not as futuristic as the one that Michael J. Fox used to have.

3. The series started 3 years before my parents decided to make one "adorable" baby boy.
note: i was born year 1985. now you do the math.

Accdg. to Wikipedia:
1. Michael Knight - was a special type of hero, a modern knight who avoided violence whenever possible and generally refrained from using firearms. Although most of Knight's cases were based in Southern California where FLAG was headquartered, the operation was not confined there. He could travel to whatever part of the country where trouble arose; sometimes even crossing borders into Mexico. FLAG also had facilities in Las Vegas and Chicago.

2. Kitt - , short for "Knight Industries Two Thousand", was for many the real star of the show. The car boasted artificial intelligence of sufficient level to reason, talk (via the voice of William Daniels), and deliver sarcastic one-liners to Michael Knight as an equal. KITT could drive himself when Michael was otherwise engaged, keeping in contact via a wrist communicator or "comlink" (a modified LCD AM radio watch). KITT actually was considered two separate machines: the Knight 2000 vehicle and the Knight 2000 microprocessor. According to series creator Glen A. Larson, as quoted from Knight Rider Legacy, "The car is Knight 2000. KITT is the onboard computer. The car is one, and KITT is the nickname for the computer. I never considered the car was named KITT, just the character inside." The two entities were separated briefly throughout the series (refer to the episodes "Soul Survivor", "Junkyard Dog", and "Knight of the Juggernaut.")

isn't amazing to see an old skul tv series back on our tv screens. i actually know the show through my dad, when i was a child he is always tuned-in on watching this then-futuristic show. personally i am not a fan of Knight Rider, i would rather have MacGyver back on TV. so please, could anyone bring back MacGyver. if Knight Rider can make a come back,why not MacGyver. Hello.
