Knight Rider Returns

Hello, Michael. Remember me? I am KITT, the voice of your favorite indestructible Trans Am. I apologize for not keeping in touch. Fortunately, there are rumors of a Knight Rider TV movie, so you may be hearing a lot more from me in the very near future.
News of the proposed reunion pushed queries on "knight rider" up an impressive 373%. Searches on David Hasselhoff (the actor behind Michael Knight) jumped 287%. Clearly, folks still love the idea of a man solving crimes with the help of his sassy sports car.
Over half of the searches on "knight rider" come from humans aged 25-34. I'm not easily surprised, but this came as quite a shock to my circuits. For a show that was big in the '80s, we seem to have a disproportionate number of young fans. Hopefully, they're not of the ironic variety. I do hate being mocked.
