Today NBC revealed the new “Attack Mode” for K.I.T.T. on the upcoming “Knight Rider” series. The show is being produced by the writer of “The Fast and the Furious” so I don’t know why I should be surprised, but this new “Attack Mode” is obviously inspired by the types of cars that appear in those films.

The online fan community is already unimpressed mixed, but that means little to the people responsible for the show. Obviously if there were enough “Knight Rider” fans out there already the show would still be on the air, so the producers aren’t looking to please the original fans…but rather bring in a new generations of fans.

Will this car do it?

I don’t know…but I don’t care much for it myself. I’m not the target demographic though, so who knows?

NBC is going out of its way to make sure that viewers are aware that the “Knight Rider” series coming in September is going to be different from the 2-hour movie we saw in Jan.

In these promos we hear KITT with a cocky attitude, and even get a hint at the “Turbo Boost” to come.

The issue of over-Fording the show with too much product placement has also been addressed, and I think “Knight Rider” fans are going to be in for something special.

More details have been released about the upcoming Amy Poehler based sitcom coming to NBC from the same producing team as the US version of “The Office”.

Poehler’s new sitcom will be shot in the same style as “The Office” but it will not be in any way related to the show. The spin-off that has been long rumored is still in development and will be going ahead as well.

So if the Poehler show is successful, and the Office spin-off actually makes it to air - we’ll have 3 shows on at once shot in the same format. Is it just me, or could that be too much of a good thing?

We’ll just have to wait and see.

Former WWE and current TNA Wrestling star Matt Morgan is joining the cast of American Gladiators next week as a character called “The Beast”. With Morgan reaching almost 7ft in height, and clocking in at 318 lbs - its not hard to see why they call him that.

American Gladiators continues to be a favorite around my house, although we have been watching it less this season than last.

Still, as the semi finals heat up, its a mainstay of our DVR. Check it out on Monday nights.

Details of the episode of the upcoming season of “The Simpsons” that comedian/actor Seth Rogan will be writing made their way online courtesy of the Hollywood Reporter.

In the episode, Comic Book Guy creates a super hoer that is then turned into a feature film. Homer ends up playing the hero and Seth plays his personal trainer. While preparing for the film Homer gets into great shape, but after the movie is over, he is unable to afford the personal trainer and his life becomes a living hell.

Sounds like an episode of “The Simpsons” to me! Look for it as part of the new fall season.

The “Prison Break” spin-off entitled “Prison Break: Cherry Hill” is still going forward, but there is one small change according to TV Guide.

Originally, main protagonist of the series was going to guest star on “Prison Break” in a short storyarc with Michael. Since the Writer’s Strike butchered last season, those plans have been scrapped. Now the series will being cold, much like a brand extension show liked “CSI: Miami” or “Law & Order: London”.

The show is expected for mid season next year on Fox.

Beginning today, NBC.com will begin to air weekly Heroes webisodes, entitled “Going Postal”. Starting with today’s installment, “A Nifty Trick”, they’ll center on everyday mailman Echo DeMille, who becomes a target after discovering a surprising ability. Next week’s “The Houseguest” will focus on Echo rushing home to save his girlfriend and finding a deadly use for his newfound powers. Then, on “Let’s Talk”, airing on July 28, Echo confronts his enemies, but encounters a surprising twist.

NBC says that this webisode will be an introduction to Echo as a new character for the upcoming season, but I wouldn’t get too attached…remember Hana Gitelman? She was supposed to be a character that crossed over from the online comic into the show, and she had a part that lasted, literally, about two minutes.

Courtney Cox is returning to sitcoms for the first time since “Friends” ended its historic run. Cox has been recently seen on FX on the series “Dirt”. She will guest star on 3 episodes of “Scrubs” this season where she will play the Chief of Medicine, a position left empty after Dr. Kelso retired last season.

Its safe to say that since she’s only signed for a 3 episode run that her stint as Chief will be brief, but “Scrubs” could use a bit of stunt casting for their move to ABC, and hopefully this will be a good move for them.

At this time it is not known when during the season she will appear.

In 1994 the world had been without “Knight Rider” for a few years. “Knight Rider 2000″ had failed to be popular enough to warrant a full series, and the concept was sitting on a shelf.

Universal Television decided to resurrect the franchise as part of their “Action Pack” line, which featured several made-for-tv movies/back door pilots.

Originally, they were going to make a new version of Knight Rider that was a continuation of the original series. You can even find an early draft of the script that shows this incarnation of the show.

They scrapped that idea, however, and what resulted was a completely new concept that involved a post-apocalyptic future, a cross dressing video game CEO, and a beat up Ford Mustang that had been highly customized by had the soul of a woman named “Hannah” trapped inside it.

I’m not kidding.

It is one of the worst tv movies every made…and it is truly the definition of tv we wish we could forget.

In more “Office” news, Amy Ryan has signed on to return to the series for 5 episodes next season.

I have to say I’m really disappointed by this news because she needs to be on the show FULL TIME.

Amy Ryan’s character is an absolutely perfect addition to the series and will be genuinely sad to see her go if she’s only going to be with us for 5 episodes. I really hope she can be a part of the cast for a longer period of time.

What can we send to NBC to make this happen? Pieces of office chairs? Illustrations of Yoda doing yoga? I don’t know - but something must be done!

Amy Ryan FULL TIME!!!! Spread the word!
