Fans of KITT and company’s latest reincarnation on TV rejoice: NBC has given your show about a talking car with turbo boosting options a full season order, which means even if the show doesn’t return for a second season, you’ll have a full first season to chew on. I wasn’t exactly the biggest fan of the show when it returned from its TV movie premiere as a regular series, but judging by the ratings for the show, people still aren’t very sure about it. But hey, maybe the show will grow on me.

NBC has given a full-season order to “Knight Rider.”

Decision late Monday repped the Peacock’s first back nine pickup this season. Sister Universal Media Studios is the producer.

“Knight Rider’s” pickup wasn’t a foregone conclusion. An update of the famed 1980s series, the new “Knight Rider” began as a highly-rated TV movie last season, but hasn’t fared as well since returning as a regular series.

Knight Rider stars Justin Bruening, Deanna Russo, Sydney Tamiia Poitier and Bruce Davison. Gary Scott Thompson (”Las Vegas”) runs the show.
