All 4 seasons are out on DVD, and even if they do make a new Knight Rider
movie, and even if it sucks, the new movie won't erase the DVD's from
history. They will still all be there, for you and everyone else to watch.
Does Hollywood care about money, and only money? Yep, it sure does.
Does Hollywood making a new Knight Rider movie mean the original show is
going to be harmed? I can't see how it would be.
The point is, no one knows if it will be any good or not. You can't judge
something that hasn't even been made yet.
