Since I love cars I thought I would ask the burning question. What did you think of the new Knight Rider? I thought it was ok. That's it. The car was sweet, the acting blew, and it was neat to see the Hoff. LOL :)

ah, I missed the Hoff. When was he on?

I have to say, overall the show blows. The car isn't even as coopl as the original kitt; it's okay and I don't like the voice. I hate that it is some sort of psychotherapist now; what's up with that?

And, where's the leather jacket?

LOL. yea the the voice blows. The Hoff was at the end. He and the new Michael spoke after the funeral. The old Kitt was better. I wonder if it is going to be a series?

I'm a car snob on this. I think they could have and should have gone for something more exotic (American or otherwise) that I'd believe could perform like Kitt.

I agree on the voice. It's not like William Daniels is dead or even retired.

Hey Simon long time no see man. Glad to see your still around :)

I missed it due to a term paper but I think it is supposed to be a series. Although if the pilot didnt go that well it might not be one.......I always thought this would be a perfect opportunity to push the new Chevy Cam but when I saw it was a new mustang, I was a bit depressed. Dont get me wrong, I love stangs, but it just isnt exotic enough like George said.

It just wasn't right having the Knight 2000 not be a Trans Am. The whole show was just a Ford commercial with bad acting. By the way KITT or Knight Industires Two Thousand doesn't refer to the car itself, but to the computer inside the Knight 2000.

Here is a better question. Who would win in a race KITT(Knight 2000), The General Lee or the 1977 Trans Am from Smokey and the Bandit?

they did make a spin off before the movie and it really sucked.

Hey Buddy!!!
Yea it's worth it just for the nostalgia part. But the story is shaky and the actors suck. LOL But after all it is Knight Rider

Actually the show reminded me of the old Viper TV series.

DON'T YOU EVER TALK ABOUT THE ICEMAN LIKE THAT!!!!!!! He could crush you with his pinkie.

And as far as Airwolf goes, that show would have never "made it off the ground" had it not been for Ernest Borgnine.

Lol!

"that's a negative ghost rider, the pattern is full!"

It really depends on whether there are a) missles involved, b) a broken bridge over a pond or mud hole, and c) truckers

Here is a better question. Who would win in a race KITT(Knight 2000), The General Lee or the 1977 Trans Am from Smokey and the Bandit?

You're thinking of Blue Thunder. Blue Thunder's hook was that the tech was all available (but not necessarily deployed) military tech.

Kitt didn't jump this episode...what's up with that? He always jumps and makes that cool sound!

A freakin talking care with a snide personality... come on that show was awesome. Airwolf was really cool as well. Both sucked compared to daisy dukes... I mean Dukes of Hazzard.
