Big changes are planned for US TV series, Knight Rider in a bid to make it more like the 1980’s original.

“It’s a reboot,” “Knight” executive producer/showrunner Gary Scott Thompson said. “We’re moving away from the terrorist-of-the-week formula and closer to the original, making it a show about a man and his car going out and helping more regular people, everymen.”

The Hollywood Reporter claims such a change would make Knight Rider a better fit for NBC’s newly Wednesday ‘Crime Night’ as it airs alongside alongside “Life” and “Law & Order.”

Episodes 10 and 11 will be the first revamped ones to air and NBC is planning is considering airing Episode 10 on Sunday after an NFL football game in January, in a bid to push up ratings.
