KNIGHT RIDER: "A KNIGHT IN SHINING ARMOR"
NBC has released a description from "A Knight in Shining Armor," the series premiere of Knight Rider, scheduled for Wednesday, Sept. 24.
Here's how the network describes the episode:
"Mike (Justin Bruening) and KITT (voiced by Val Kilmer) are assigned a seemingly easy package delivery -- until they realize the package is actually a man with vital top secret code decryption built into his DNA. The mission gets complicated when the enemies, including a mysterious woman (guest star Paula Garces), seem to know a great deal about Mike and a past he can't recall."
