(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

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

BTW, they should have used a camaro.

danlisa · 02-20-08, 05:02 PM

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.

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!!!

Kapitan_Phillips · 02-20-08, 05:06 PM

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, 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.

Quote:

1982
The third generation Firebirds took flight with three models: Firebird, Firebird S/E, and Firebird Trans Am. The Firebird was the base model, equivalent to the Camaro Sport Coupé; the Firebird S/E was the mid-trim-level version, which could actually be loaded with as many options as the Trans Am; and the Trans Am, of course, was the performance-level Firebird. The Firebird and Camaro had been completely restyled, with the windshield slope set at 60 degrees (about 3 degrees steeper than anything GM had ever tried before) and for the first time, a large, glass-dominated rear hatchback. Two pop-up headlights, a first on the F-Body cars, were the primary characteristic that distinguished the Firebird from its Camaro cousin; the Firebird would retain this styling characteristic until the end of production in 2002.

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

Kapitan_Phillips · 02-20-08, 06:29 PM

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

The WosMan · 02-20-08, 06:37 PM

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

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.

Kapitan_Phillips · 02-20-08, 06:46 PM

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