Didn't ChrisBodily write Space Ghost? I thought it's been established.

Guess I’ll come clean. I co-wrote The Knight Rider. I’m pretty sure my partner is ok with this, but if anyone wants to speculate who the co-writer is then go ahead. Actually, his writing style is pretty hard to miss for those of you that know him. Or go back far enough to know him.

The one major change to the script was the introduction of KITT to Michael. Instead of the shipyard scene, I’d originally written KITT saving Michael from the bullies at his school by unleashing non lethal tennis balls at the baddies! Damn, I liked that scene. But, alas, it wasn’t meant to be!

Steve

Hey, Steven, how does the co-write thing works? You write half and your partner does the same? Or maybe you write the whole thing, he rewrites? I have no idea.

And also, is your co-writer on the list of participants?

Another one of my guesses:

12 O'clock Mona Lisa - Cameron D.

I don’t collaborate much. In this case, he assigned me some scenes which I wrote. I’d think of ideas to include. The Gwen character was all my doing. Lots of folks said she was too, wooden I guess. But she’s British. I wanted her that way.

And yes, my co-writer is on the list.

Quoted from SAC And yes, my co-writer is on the list.

Johnny or Gary?

Good going, Libby. Yeah, it was Johnny.

Interesting. Well done, both of you. I didn't peg that as co-written.

Now I really don't know who wrote what. Everything I thought I knew is wrong.  

Thanks, Rene. What’s really interesting is I thought the other Knight Rider was the best of all the scripts. And I voted as such.

I guess while we’re waiting on results I might as well go ahead and out myself as well.

Sunday, Monday Happy Days

Thursday Friday Happy Days
Saturday, what a day
Grooving all week with you!

In case you couldn’t figure that out, I wrote The Lone Ranger.   Ha ha!  Just kidding. I did actually write Happy Days. I wanted to take one of those iconic shows from my childhood and completely flip it on its head.  I mean, if we’re gonna reboot, let’s go whole hog here, right.   I admit, may have gone a bit far with it, but I enjoyed the idea of making lovable Fonzie a cold blooded killer.  Heeeeeeeeeeyyyyyyyyy!

Good job, Gary. I had that one high on my list, and it was a complete break from the original. Can still recall scenes from it in my head. Good writing!

I also really liked that script. I think it was the second one I read and it stuck with me throughout. Nicely done, and one hell of a reboot.

Thanks Rene and Steve!  It was fun to write -  and I especially enjoyed twisting some of the characters. If I had more time, I was really going to go darker with it, making Howard a leader of the local chapter of the KKK and ultimately the one who ordered the hit on the dead guy in the car, who was a KKK member snitching to police.  Fonzie’s not a member but a guy who gets paid very well to do these types of hits.  Kind of like “Breaking Bad” if it had happened in the 50’s!

I'm glad you were forced to quit while you were ahead.

What the hell Steve?! lol jk dude

I’ll get around to reading the rest, been mega busy at work. I didn’t vote either figured Steve had that covered. Thanks for everyone that read our reboot and dropped some killer notes.

Our approach  for The Knight Rider was to give it as much graphic novel vibes as possible. About halfway through I asked Steve if I could write a “supervillian” type character like a female Cobra Commander which turned out to be one of my personal favorite scenes I’ve ever collaborated on.

Thanks guys, had a lot fun and look forward to reading the rest of them.
