SHOULD HOFF BEEN ME!

David Hasselhoff is mightily angry at the way he has been treated by the makers of the new series of 'Knight Rider', though it looks as though the producers couldn't give a K.I.T.T. about his opinions. David is claiming that the whole idea of the series came about because of a suggestion he made, and now he isn't being given credit for this little thought foetus.

"Basically, I brought the project into NBC. They read my treatment, which involved Michael Knight and his son, and they called me up and said 'Hey, we're going ahead.' But it soon became clear that producers were going in a different direction."

So the extent of David's treatment was basically that Michael Knight not only has a talking, electronic car but also a son. Brilliant! Twenty years after the end of the last series who else could have come up with such an unexpected plot twist as 'breeding' other than the Hoff? Is it beyond the bounds of possibility that the producers had already thought of this ground-breaking scenario... before the Hoff?

Let's hope the show makers have taken it to the next level and that the fearsome K.I.T.T. has a child also. How about an over-confident Rover Maestro with a flashing strip on its bonnet following his daddy car around? Perhaps screaming something like "Puppy Power!" or "Lemme At Him!" like Scrappy Doo in another franchise-fucking makeover? Or just put David back behind the wheel, while K.I.T.T. moans "Oh, for fuck's sake, not again! Let's sleep it off in this 'Happy Eater' car park..."
