Anyone watch the new Knight Rider tonite? Meh its not the same! I dont like the voice of Kitt (Val Kilmer?) and that ball thing? What the heck is that all about.

And the car should be a new Pontiac Firebird like this!

Old School Knight Rider was the shit! :heart:

YouTube - Knight Rider episode "Kitt vs Karr"
 
They had a "premier" for it last year (it may have been this winter) before the writer's strike, and I couldn't make it more than about 15 minutes into the show. It's sad when you miss Hasslehoff in a role...
 
Yay, la sexy Sicy posted! :yippie:

:D

I would love to see this new one, of course you canNOT beat the classic, but I dont think we will get it here for ages! Aint seen it advertised! :angry:

but hey, I love shiny black cars and that I love Corvettes and that one looks so damn fine I'm in love! :up:
 
what about Knightboat?

Oh, every week there's a canal.
Or an inlet.
Or a fjord.

:drool:

You bring up a good point. They've had a show about a car, a motorcycle(Street Hawk), and a helicopter (Airwolf AND Blue Thunder) - but the boat market seems untapped. I mean, AD certainly had a some great scenes involving boats, but the boat was not the central character. I think the boats time has come. Develop it, elfa - I'll star and direct, unless you want to star and then I'll take the role of either goofy sidekick or the guy that gives you new missions each week - my signature drink will be gin and tonic with lime because I like that in real life. Who should play the chick?

I don't know - Miami Vice had some killer boats back in the day.
 
I watched it for nostalgia reasons, but it was just awful... I mean the original was pretty bad but in an 80's cheezy way, this version has no excuse. Tranform into a truck?:huh:

And Val must be desperate...
 
I loved the original Knight Rider. :drool: My cousin once played the theme in my uncle's car as we were driving to the store. It kicked in just as he was rounding a tricky corner. To this day, it's one of the funniest moments of my life.
 
I love the theme song, I had it stuck in my head all night last night :lol:

If I remember correctly, Will Arnett originally did all the recording for it, and they pulled him because he'd done advertising for a competing car company...

So yeah, the show essentially is just a commercial.

Oh, COME ON!
 
This is the first show I remember loving!

I was 3 years old and had a toy "Hot Wheels"-type car. I don't think I ever understood the stories and my brothers had to explain them to me, but I could say the same about other shows on TV at around the same time: "A Team" and "Manimal". I remember a truck and its driver named Goliath, which was just Michael Knight with a goatee; okay I saw that on USA when my parents were visiting a time share and one of my brothers was there to explain it to me, too. I was shocked at how cheap it looked, including Knight's tight clothing.

Yet this looks similarly bad. I saw one scene in which the hot guy and hot girl are burning up in Kit because they can't control the temperature, so they strip down to their underwear.

I feel badly for "Billy" from BSG. He's going to be looking for a new job soon.

Sicy's also right about the ugly car.
