Default Anyone catch Knight Rider

If you saw Knight Rider tonight leave an opinion...
I saw it and despite the fact the car is a gt500 kr the show wasnt too bad. Had the same cheesy dialogue as the original and all. The theme song is cooler this time around

i saw most of it, it seemed ok wasnt paying all that much attention to it. Basically and hour and a half ford advertisment. Kind of reminded me of that movie with the GTO when it first came out years ago... ahh whatever there really wasnt much else on LOL.

everyone in the lounge thread thinks it sucked donkey ***** but i didnt think it was that bad. people seem to forget that it wasnt a Multi-million dollar blockbuster and that the original was just as cheesey if not more. yeah it was a huge Ford commercial but GM had Transformers which was a blockbuster hit!! Acting was sub-par....Storyline stunk but its allways about the cars just as the original. thats my take on it.

The hole budget for that film was paid by ford but even with all that advance technology the mustangs are still slow. The ******* expedition was keeping up with the hole way lol.

I agree it was very much the Ford commercial show. The commercials were funny that it was always for the Focus and not the mustang they could be pushing easier due to the show.

I'll break it up like this; likes/dislikes
Likes:
I like the idea of the show being back
I like it having muscle car V8powered
I like the lesbian FBI agent BOINK!
I like the idea of the guy being Michael Knights son (better would be his hot big titted daughter... J/K)
I like the updated version of the music

Dislikes
I hate every car has to be a ford in the show
I hate car is so much more unbelievable now ex.(shape shifting)-The old KITT was alot more believable. Super hard coating that is indesctructable, super quiet mode,turbo boost was cool and much more believable then microchip shape shifting crap! Hell even the new Kitt that the back lifted up, flap out panels to slow him down the rising hood and spoiler was more believable!!!!!!!
I hate the fake looking back out of the jet thing (the backing out of the bigrig was real and badmofoazz)
I hate the computer generated crappyness effects
I hate a Ford EDGE can keep up with a KITT car in the curves etc LMAO! That was soo bad
I hate the picture of the 305TPI if you remember KITTS motor looked nothing like the stocker!!!!!!


Finally-I'll watch the show a couple times to give it a shot, its one of very few car shows out there. One of my best car shows was Knight Rider. I loved the battles with Goliath (big rig also indestructable) The evil KITT can't remeber that ones name. OH OH and i love the KITT call outs for racing periodically on some shows. I remember a purple Tbucket with blower calling him out and just smokes his azz.

Evil Kitt's name was K.A.R.R.

i just realized that they didnt even use one of the features that made the original KITT a success....Turbo Boost!!! he didnt jump a ****** thing...lol.
