New Knight Rider Revealed

[Kaervak]

Well, I must be easy to please as I liked it. A little too much with the background music at every chance, but if it becomes a series I'll watch it.

Yeah, I couldn't help but think there at the end during the final drive off "They've got the old guy, young (stupid) cocky guy, hot white chick, black female lesbian, and some short ethnic dude (origins as yet unknown)....yep, they've covered all their P.C. bases.".

I still can't decide if I liked K.I.T.T. dropping out of a C130 at the end....I was kinda looking forward to seeing how they decked out an 18 wheeler.

Well, Sidney Poitiers daughter was hot. So was her lover.
I kind of hoped to see teh Hoff drive off in a Camaro, but I guess when Ford pays the bills...

What in the world... a Honda commercial???

 

[Throckmorton]

That show totally sucks. Enough with the damn Ford ads. A Mustang KITT is a travesty to begin with, they don't have to rub it in.

Ford probably heavily subsidized the production of the show by donating the mustangs and whatnot in exchange for advertising.

This is probably how they secured funding for the pilot.

As far as I'm concerned, I really enjoyed it.

 

[Xstatic1]

it was meh. acting/script could have been better.

and what was up with all the Ford commercials? LOL.

 

[ViperVin2]

Acting wasn't great, but still enjoyed the show.

I always liked the Trans AM better.

Searching GM 2006-2008 Inventory........404 Trans AM not found....

Black C6 Z06. Would've been the perfect KITT.

Nissan GT-R.

You can go back further than 2006

You have to take in to account that when the original show aired, you could go to the dealership and pick up almost the same car you saw on tv; minus the lights and modifications. Fastforward to 2008, the TransAM, Firebird, or Camero are no longer produced. TV producers want to take the same spirit of the original and use a modern day car with the most up to date technology as they did in the early 80's. Use what's available, fresh, and new; otherwise you'd be best off watching re-runs of the original show.

That part where the black FBI agent is shown with the naked blonde that she "just picked up" had nothing to do with the story, and it was a bit uncomfortable when watching with my 7 year old. The two girls in the bed- likewise.

 

[RagingBITCH]

It was cheesy, but if you think about it, so was the original, so was Airwolf, etc.

 

[OhSnap688]

I'll still watch it!

Technically half black.

Yeah the human actors were a bit lame, but Barricade did a great job acting.

Um, I didn't see that part. Apparently my DVR cut off early. Oh well, I enjoyed the show and will continue to watch it if there are future episodes.

My sentiments exactly.

 

[jonks]

awful awful awful.

<<--- child of the 80s.

The main problem is that the original KR took itself seriously, which is why it was fun to watch. Everyone in this pilot looked like they were trying for tongue-in-cheek, then rapidly shifted to serious when someone died, then right back to corny. Mike looks like a boy band extra on steroids. Fords suck.

Fail.

You mean the fake TV prop or the real early 80s Trans Am? Those old T/A's were not fast, hell, a modern Civic Si could probably beat a stock 1982 Firebird...it certainly could on curvy roads. And the chassis was pretty weak too, full of rattles and about as stiff as a wet noodle. In comparison, the new Mustang GT is a much much much better car.

Still, this series is doomed to fail. I bet it doesn't even last an entire season.

 

[JeffreyLebowski]

God this show sucked. I watched it just to see how they got Michael Knight in it. He acts like he doesn't even care about his own son. WTF?
They should have shown the nose of the original KITT amongst the cars in the funeral scene.

And the airplane drop off made me think of the shitastic Team Knight Rider. I literally laughed out loud and wretched at the same time.

Wow, you must really be into the TV you watch if a remake of a cheesy show from the 80's gives you that much of a physical reaction...

:roll:
