I was kinda disappointed. It was just so serious! No fun. I know the old show was campy, but hey, it was a talking car that would come to you when called. How cool was that???! This new one, turns into a truck??! Huh? I think they went over the top with what the car could do. Next week, it does the laundry! Hey, I want one! The special effects were pretty cool. I wish they had used the actor who did KITT'S original voice. He sounded much smoother. And, as I recall, the original KITT had a sense of humor.

What kinda car was the bad-brunette driving? It was a blue convertible with lambo doors. My guess is lambo, but I don't know if any other makers put lambo doors on their cars.

Oh well, maybe I'll watch it again. In next week's show they go street racing (after doing laundry). Perhaps the minnesota police will be there along with a bunch of honda ricers, haha. It is nice to see some different and unusual cars. It will be interesting to see if any supras are ever one the show. It was kinda hard to see a mustang play KITT, but it pulled it off well. I never liked the late model TAs.

more like the old Viper show than it does Knight Rider...

I watch it, and yep it was more like the TV show Viper (just differnt automotive manufacturer sponsor ). Did I like it..........lets say it could have been better, but I like car movies/shows. I happen to like the TV show Viper.

Side note: Deanna Russo as Sarah Graiman is totally HOT!!! So I would watch a re-run to watch her again ;)

Well, thanks for spoiling it for those of us that haven't seen it yet, or warning that there might be spoilers in the thread title...

Gee, sorry. I thought the title made it obvious what the discussion was about.

Lambo....Buzz, wrong answer. It was a Spyker C12.

Yeah, wasn't impressed with the new show. On the other hand, I want the knight rider GPS that has the original KITT to tell you were to go. FTW:biglaugh: I have no need for GPS but it just kick ass.

They showed the Movie here last night it didn't suck nearly as much as I was expecting ;)

I didn't ruin it for you by posting my "spoiler", did I?

Actually, I didn't comment on the plot. Just wasn't worth commenting on.

There was a plot?

I have to admit, watching any of the original episode is pretty tough for me as they're just THAT bad. When I was younger the show rocked, but now...

And I agree! This show is not for us old-fogies that watched the original as kids, its for today's kids! Kids don't need a complicated plot. I am wondering if they plan to do an "Alias"-like plot where you don't know who the good guys really are. Would be a shame to make it so complex. One re-make that I do like is Battlestar Galactica. That original show was SO campy! but the new one is very dark, very dramatic. The remake was definitely for us old-fogies, not kids! And it looks like they are going to actually end the series rather than letting it drag on forever. I think thats a very cool concept.

Didn't the original Cylons have a red eye that moved back-n-forth like KITT's?

I HATE Battlestar Galactica. It's a "drama." It's worse than a soap opera and anytime i ever tried to watch it I fell asleep (completely serious).

My usual viewing pleasure is Stargate SG-1, Stargate Atlantis, Doctor Who, and tons of stuff on the science/history channels...
