Knight Rider remake - post your thoughts here.
 

Watch it here

(Sorry mods if this is frowned upon, I dont see why it should be, though)

Tell me what you guys think of the new series when you're done :D

I don't know about Knight Rider but if you click on the chicks at the bottom of the screen you get better movies.:D

BTW, they should have used a camaro.

I'm not even going to watch this new edition.

@ The TV execs! Do not fool with possibly one of the greatest TV series of all time.:stare: I grew up with the Hoff as Micheal Knight and nothing will supersede that.

Jeez, why not remake Baywatch while you're at it. Meddlers!!!:down:

I'm actually really enjoying it. I really like who they got to voice the new KITT.

"Okay, the car is talking and it knows my name. You mind explaining how it's driving by itself?!" :lol:

Lol, I wouldnt mind that. Seeing how bikinis are getting smaller and smaller each year. :rotfl:

Honestly I was immediately turned off by it when I saw they were using a Ford Mustang for KITT. I don't have a problem with the Mustang but KITT was a modified Pontiac Firebird. They should have found some GM equivelent to fill the void. I know that with the new Camero coming out that GM is also cooking up a new Firebird. It just doesn't feel right. What's next "The Six Million Dollar Man, adjusted for inflation is now the 60,000,000 man" with the main character being named Steve Houston?

Kitt was a Pontiac Firebird Trans Am or one should say only a Pontiac Trans Am? Never quite know how to designate the model.

Already saw it. Well, It is made like a new action series of now! I think a bit more tribute to the old series would be better. The new Kitt voice area if were the 3 red bars and on the sides 2 red butons and 2 yellow butons, I think that this small things can make a old series (hard) fan like the new one.
And they explain many the scientific stuff, it's cool.

Spoiller:







Kitt did not Turbo Boost on the pilot episode...

And the new abilities of Kitt, like a few...but black is the color and I miss the sensor sound...

Worthless, IMO! It just not the same.

Uh, sorry but the Trans AM is a Firebird.

Yes, after putting the thread I went check out and then edit my post.:up:

I like the car, but not the new scanner lights. Should've kept the single LED bar that went "Whoowhoo..whoowhoo"

I also want Mr Feeney to be the voice of that car.

"Hello Michael, your lifesigns are fading."

I liked the pilot, and like you the only thing I really miss is KITT's sensor sound.
I hope it will be included in the regular episodes.

There was a sensor sound, but it was quiet. And wasnt the Dr Whoesque classic sound. It was close, though.

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.
