According to the Forever Knight wiki Nick Knight (the original backdoor pilot) first aired on CBS on August 20, 1989. It was a Sunday. Twenty years huh.
There's still a few days to go but I do want to do something to mark the occasion. After all, without
Nick Knight there would be no
Forever Knight.
I'm working on a short celebratory/movie recap vid. If I didn't already love this version of Alyce Hunter I would after working on this vid. Her awesomeness doesn't really come through in the vid, as of now, which is a shame but she cracks me up.
Oh my goodness that's true isn't it? I had completely forgotten about that. Thanks so much for bringing that to my attention. A full week of celebrations indeed. :-)
(Once, the company for which I work threw a big anniversary party, at which a private performance by Rick Springfield was this major prize. People around me spoke about his music; my mind, of course, was on Nick Knight. I didn't win, which is good! ~g~)
VHS! Now that's old school. Does the DVD still have the shrink wrap? ;-)
This is an excellent excuse to trot it out and boggle over the differences and similarities.
Absolutely! I find it so interesting how two productions with essentially the same script can churn out different versions of the same story. It goes to show the influence of director, score, performances and other production design elements on the finished product.
I do think the movie goes down a whole lot easier if you revel in the campiness. Although I don't think there's anything that can help the LaCroix character. It's wrong on so many levels, lol. That being said, I think I'm in the small minority that rather enjoys Nick Knight.
