No, since I'm overseas I have no chance of watching the movie to see details about the show, so I looked it up on imdb and happened to see that tidbit that you plagiarized.

Plagiarized, its the goddamn internet. You asked a question I gave you an answer, its not like I was trying to take any credit for the information because that would be absurb not unlike yourself. At first I just "wrote" that it was Kilmer I only edited it later to add that info because I thought you would be interested to know the circumstances especially considering how we had already talked about how big business had affected the movie. I just won't answer any of your goddamn questions any more okay.

That's a cop-out. Just because it's the internet doesn't make everything ok. Have some integrity man.
I didn't know from the start that this was a made-for-TV movie. I thought it was going to be a major release. I wonder why they didn't think they could sell a big Hollywood production based on Knight Rider? They're remaking everything else from the 80s into big screen movies, why not this one too?

To directly contradict what I said earlier I'll answer your question. At first I too thought it was going to be a major release but turns out that this two hour ford commercial is actually just a trumped up pilot for a series they are planning to air sometime in the near future. I suppose instead of doing a 2 part one hour long pilot which seems to be the norm these days they decided to just run it as a two hour long tv movie instead. I think that at some point they were actually planing to have this released in theaters hence the posters and the one time short lived heavy advertising push but I guess somewhere along the line some genius realized that this would probably make less money than that Paris Hilton movie (you know which one I'm talking about) and making people pay to watch that crap would have just angered their fanbase.

Will it still be a Shelby 'stang in the TV series, or will they use another car? I still think KITT should be more futuristic and refined, which the stang just doesn't match.
So Val Kilmer is reduced to doing voiceovers for a TV series. I wonder if that's better or worse than some big screen Hollywood actors doing sitcoms and network TV, most of which shows bombed and were cancelled.

No, Val Kilmer is not reduced to doing voiceovers... this is an easy job for him. He has a ton of other things in the works.
Well that's good for him but let's try to stay on topic shall we.
I wonder how the made-for-TV movie did as far as ratings? I guess we'll know if and when they announce a new series. I've read reviews where they actually like the Shelby KITT. Boggles the mind.

They picked it up for series:
http://www.tv.com/story/11076.htmlProving that old can be new again, NBC has given the remake of Knight Rider a series order, says Variety. The show was given a test-drive as a two-hour made-for-television movie back in February, and high ratings made everyone at the network drool and thumbs-up more K.I.T.T. and company.
The caption for the Shelby 'stang on tv.com is priceless:
In the show, K.I.T.T. will battle gas prices.
Looks like Val Kilmer will have steady work doing voice-overs for a tv series now. Will Arnett is probably kicking himself for missing this opportunity.

awesome news, i was hoping they would pick it up.
Even though I like them picking it up, I really don't see it being successful... I think it's going to tank mainly because the main character is a complete jackass.
Well the movie was kind of a pilot episode so they could rework the character for the series to be cooler and more likable. They should probably add some hot chicks to make the show appeal more to sci-fi fans.

Here's the first episode of the series:

Well, I think this was much better than I expected. Sarah looks hotter, and bonus points for an appearance by the hottie Paula Garcés (Tina from The Shield). There's less cheese than the backdoor pilot movie, and the tone is much better. I think this is worth giving a chance so far. I didn't like the main actor, but he certainly seems better in the series.
3/5
Converting from pick up to normal car and have them in seats: sucked
Missile: why couldn't KITT do back flip just before impact or for god sake give KITT some weapons (gatling guns) to shoot stuff.
Under bridge: why couldn't KITT ram the car infront when that woman pointed gun at Mike or better yet be equipped with tranquilizer guns/grappling hooks
Old KITT was far better at assisting his partner and he wasn't THAT talkative. The only thing that new KITT is better then old one is surveillance and that's about it.

Yeah those things were lame. And if I was going to be very honest, I don't like this version of Knight Rider much, but I thought that this episode improved a bit from the movie, and seeing as many here liked it, well they might enjoy the series even more. But the opposite is just as likely. So I guess it'll all come down to perspective, if you liked the movie, I feel you might like this even more (at least the things mentioned above). If you didn't like the movie, you will probably find this just as horrible.
Hopefully they'll improve on those things you mention as the series gets more stabilized (if it survives). Well, this might be just worth checking out for curiosity's sake; I have a feeling it'll get cancelled. The ratings were bad, and they will go down with all the negative reviews I've seen around.
