out here in the UK, we are only soemthing like 6 episodes in. Truth be told, I hated it the first time i saw the pilot. But caught bits of the show every now and again and yes, the actors are wooden, and yes, KITT transforming is NUTS ubt c’mon what do you expect?? The West Wing??? it is what it is…. daft escapism. Surely anyone who expected anything else is taking themselves (and both old and new shows) way too seriously!!! (plus Airwolf was way better than than the old show).

Knight Rider is the BEST SHOW EVER EXISTED, if you actually give the show a chance you would see how the plot is very well developed and has a point to it. Since i gave it a chance i saw the turn point of the show and it made me more and more interested than ever. I still can’t believe it is going off air since the episodes are getting more and more interesting,

STOP GIVING THE SHOW A HARD TIME AND GET A LIFE !

I actually like the Pilot film a lot, or at least I could see a lot of promise.
But the actuall show was dreadful and cheesy (wtf is the attack mode all about with all the LEDs and stuff).

BUT I think it may just be aimed at a yunger audience who will actually love it.

The car is more believable (because of modern technology) than the actors.
Otherwise it is deja vu with a modern twist which is not enough to save it.

The original was corny enough to be funny for the times, and far out enough to provide some fantasy. Now it is a show that takes itself too serious in the context of today’s technology, and too light for today’s sophisticated audiences.

Convert it to an animated feature on Toons and it might survive a little longer, but I doubt it.

Anyone who actually thinks the new Knight Rider is better than the old needs to have their brain examined. As cheesy as the original was, the new one takes the cheese factor to a whole new level. As a fan of the original I had hopes for the new show. The pilot was actually better than the premier or subsequent episodes in my opinion. I will not be watching this one any more. Believe it or not The Bionic Woman was actually better.

Characters = dumb beyond belief
Acting = Horrible
Sets = Horrendous
Story = pathetic
KITT = way overdone, too unrealistic, no personality

I agree I agree. I have tuned in to the show whenever I happen to pass it during commercials and, well, . The script is pure cheese…”dude, we rock” The camera work makes absolutely no sense to me. I am especially offended by the horrible in-car shots. And Justin Bruening is horrrrilbe!!! I wouldn’t watch it if I was getting paid.

I can understand why people don’t like the new show, yet I can also understand why people do. At first I was not impressed with the movie in February at all, and all the changes I was saying to my friends that should be made, were made. I do agree that KITT transforming is way out there and too far from the original. I don’t mind attack mode, since it’s similar to Super Pursuit Mode in the original. I do like Val as the voice, however I agree he needs to still bring more emotion into the role. You just can’t beat William Daniels. I’m not a fan of KITT being a Mustang now, but it has grown on me. The idea and attempt is good, but I don’t see it lasting. I do watch it every week, but I won’t be surprised if it gets yanked. As an old fan I’m separating myself from the original because nothing can ever compare to it, and by doing that I’ve been able to enjoy it. I don’t mind them having a team to look after KITT, he is more advanced now and should have a team, however don’t always show them now. What happened to the “one man can make a difference”, and even Michael passed that onto Mike at the end of the pilot.

Not sure what people are looking for with this show but I think it’s a significant improvement over the mediocre movie that played last Feb. My adolescent daughter loves it and I actually enjoy watching this with her as it brings back fond memories of the original for me (which by the way is almost unwatchable in this day and age). Don’t get me wrong, it has nothing on my top rated shows but it is nice to have a silly diversion to watch now and then. Especially if it helps bring back the silly kid dreams about a talking car you used to have.
