Marketing ploy is a bonus to eager fans
The series premier of Knight Rider (along with the
premiers of multiple other shows) is scheduled to air a week
early on Hulu.com, a media industry affiliated site which allows the
free, legal viewing of numerous TV shows. The broadcast premier of Knight Rider is scheduled for September 24th, 2008 but the show will be aired online on September 17th.
Knight Rider, based on the cult favorite 1980's TV series, follows
the adventures of the son of David Hasslehoff's character Michael
Knight, Mike Traceur (Jason Breuning), with a suitably upgraded version
of KITT. Val Kilmer will voice the snarky car and David Hasslehoff is
in talks to reprise his classic role with an apperance in at least one
episode.
Along with Knight Rider, NBC will be airing the series premier of My Own Worst Enemy on October 14th on Hulu, and will also air the the season premiers of Lipstick Jungle, Chuck, Life and 30 Rock one week early.
