Thats like saying that the new Battlestar Galactica is worthless since its just not the same as the original series. ;)
Ironically the Knight Rider pilot episode is much more in line with the original Knight Rider series then the new BSG is with the original BSG. Is it a good sign or bad sign ?
I think that this pilot has nailed down basically all the campiness of the original Knight Rider and if they go on doing a series I will enjoy it very much.
Just put back the whoowhoo.....whoowhoo sound. :rotfl:

Yes, bring back the whoowhoo.....whoowhoo sound!!!:rock: Or the cylon helmet visor sound...:D

Is that talking gay car back?

What's with all these remakes? Are we that dumb that we can't come up with an original idea anymore so we make remakes? What do we need all these writers for if they can't create good material? I have a feeling we will see a remake of the original Star Trek next...........oh wait..........

Nothing is wrong with doing remakes, remakes are as old as the film industry itself.
During the 1930 hollywood (who else :rotfl: ) did remakes of european films on a constant basis for its american audience. :p
Its not like remakes are being discovered in the last 10 years.
And to be honest this new series is not a remake, its more of a sequel.
Some points tie pretty well to the original Knight Rider series, and as sequels go its pretty decent. It has a lot of potential.

I thoroughly enjoyed it as well. The actor voicing KITT is none other than Val Kilmer.

I think its more of a metrosexual than gay:rotfl:

I just hope that talking car isn't running on Vista or the guy who owns the car will never be able to get ANYTHING done with all those invasive security features. :nope:

I'm really waiting for some cross advertising in the show. Like the car pulls up and a close up of the liscence plate reveals a sticker that says "Intel Inside".

I didn't watch the show. What happened to the old talking car ? Did they just scrap it ?

I saw the show and I was a big fan of the original but this one looks good.

I was surprised to find out that the original actor that did the original KITT did the voice for this new KITT but thanks to some contract he had with GM and them getting bent out of shape finding that his voice would be used in a FORD, all the voices had to be redone with the new voice.

As for the original KITT, I think it was supposed to be under the tarp in the garage. Though, if I am not mistaken (and I could be), the original series pretty much had the original KITT car destroyed in acid and KITT's system was temporarily put into a much older car.

As for the Turbo Boosts, pop-out spoiler and all the other new touches they put on the original KITT towards the end, I'm glad this KITT does not have it. I thought those things ruined KITT.

This new Body Skin is far fetched but the rest of the show and the car is good. I am so glad it is a continuation and not a remake like the Bionic Woman was. That new series was bad as a remake.

:rotfl:"The following program: KITT.exe is requesting administrator priveledges to access turboboost.dll"

OMG THE HOFF'S IN IT :o

I liked the movie. I liked the original series, too. I hope they make a new series. I think the Mustang isn't a bad choice. The new Camaro would be even better, but if they cannot get that then the Mustang works well. I don't know why people get so bent out of shape because it's the Mustang. I look at it as, like any other company, that they got the best contract deal from Ford rather than GM. Why does FLAG have to use GM cars exclusively anyway? KITT was just a tool and if that tool is better served in a different car then so be it. :88)

It's the typical thing when remakes are done. There is nostalgia for the original, forgetting how at the time it was corny as hell, the acting quite wooden and not just Knight Rider.

I'd say give it a chance, I'll watch it tonight. I saw the first 10 minutes and it seemed pretty good.

I bet if a continuation of Airwolf was done there would be the same comments.

Airwolf wouldnt be the same if they changed the chopper

No Ernest Borgnine and Jan-Michael Vincent no Airwolf. :p
