Thumbs down New Knight Rider sucked..

The car was OK, but the show had terrible acting, no plot, and was essentially a 2-hour commercial for Ford.

What's more, I think I'm just getting sick of Hollywood. EVERY show has to have someone sleeping around, and EVERY show has to have a token homosexual. Never has a population segment been more over-represented than the gay community is by Hollywood.

Within the first 3 minutes, of the Knight Rider show, it is implied that the guy of the show has a 2-on-1 the night before, and the female FBI agent is intruduced in a way that implies she is a Lesbian.

I really wish the writers would have stayed on strike. I'd rather watch three more years of "1 vs 100" than another minute of Knight Rider.


The biggest insult is that KR was my favorite show as a kid-- leave it to H-wood to try to cash in using a cheesy imposter of a once-popular 80s icon.

Pretty disappointing...I asked the wife how is it possible that they could make Knight Rider cheesier?

How many times did they have to show the nano technology repairing bullet hits?

Where's the turbo boost?

KITT's voice sucks.

The whole KITT dialog is a complete rip off of Sonny in "I, Robot"

Very disappointing, Nothing like the old stuff. I was worried they would ruin the Transformer movie, but I think it turned out all right.

Have you guys noticed the trend lately? They take all of the old original shows and mess them up with their "modern" twist. I refused to watch the new Knight Rider because I loved the old show and I knew they could not top it. Hollywood cant come up with anything on their own anymore. I am waiting to see how they can screw up Airwolf or maybe they can re-do the A-Team and paint a huge rainbow on the side of a hybrid minivan to run around in

Because...

1. No Trans Am available

2. No Camaro Available

3. GT500 KR release

4. Ford was willing to put out more money

Ford donates lots of money to the gay and lesbo community. They probably had something to do with the crapola in that show. The wife and I watched it up until the lesbo part and switched channels.

i watched for about 5 min, and it seemed like in that 5 min (drivnig scene) they panned over to the litle cobra emblem to often (2-3 times).. that was annoying.

New Knight Rider sucked-Quote.

Was there ever any doubt it would ?
Hey, how about that new "Terminator" TV show...oooo another real winner.

That's OK, more reason to read and learn more instead of vegging in front of the TV.

Agree on the huge ford commercial. Interesting that they used a suburban for the bad guys instead of a expedition el.

I was hoping for much more.

did anyone honestly expect something of true artistic merit and entertainment from a mainstream television channel?

Just about all shows on TV are commercials. Its sad and almost insulting in a way. I stopped watching TV over a year ago and it was the best move Ive ever made and I highly recommend it to everyone.

At least the amount of jewelery would be representative.
