Knight Rider Discussion Thread

Wow Justin Bruening was really good in this, better than I imagined, plus he looked really unbelievably hot.

It's weird hearing Val Kilmer instead of William Daniels as the voice of KITT LOL

David Hasselhoff did a cameo at the end too

[Mishel]

Being not familiar with the original, I wasn't sure what to expect...but I thought it was good. Hope it gets picked up to become a series. Thought Justin did a really good job.

It was really god. I could see myself watching this every week.

I have never seen the original, and they did a good job of explaining everything and making it all work. the acting was good, the story was good. realy good.

hope it does become a series

[Laurie]

Enjoyed it and hope it becomes a series. I will end my NBC grudge if it does. LOL

[Noel]

What time does it come on? It better not be on at the same time as Rock of Love 2. I was curious to see it, but I always see David Hasselhoff as the Knight Rider.

It did really good in the ratings and in the demographics. I will be surprised if this isnt picked up and put on the fall schedule.

Well I recorded it and just watched it and really enjoyed it. Justin DAM he looks good and even sexier in this role. I love the new version of the car and it was good that David did do a cameo. I really hope they pick it up to be a series.

It was on last night at 9pm

As a kid I watched the original series which started here in -86 and was obsessed with it. And I think they did very good job with this new episode(/movie). They did great with spacing everything up and the icing on the cake was the airplane instead of the truck at the end. It was nice to see David at the funeral too. Ohh and I loved the theme!

It did?! Yay, hope it gets picked up as a series! Do you have any exact numbers and perhaps something to compare with?

[Roman]

Now, if it does get picked up, I wonder which episodes from the original will they update?

Michael & KITT's battles with Goliath?

KITT Vs. KARR?

And will the do a updated version of The Scent Of Roses?

A good start. Hope it last longer than The Bionic Woman did.

Taken from my Febuary 21st post in the general television section:

The critics trashed this so badly. But it did well in the ratings. I think it averaged nearly 13 million viewers. I would be surprised if NBC doesn't pick this up. It's almost as popular as the television show Heroes.

OMG... did someone watch the season premiere? It was SO bad and the ratings were miserable. I predict it will be cancelled by the end of November Sweeps and JB will be back to AMC

[JackPeyton]

I really liked it.

Its a show about a super spy talking car pretty much, what do people expect? Its not the original was soem great masterpiece. It was cheesy OTTness at its best, and last night was everything i thouhgt it would be.

[Cheyenne]

It was terrible!!! It was ruined by the Japanese girl and the dork (can't remember their names). Idiots! The acting from those two (especially from here) were so bad it was painful to watch. It actually ruined the whole show for me. People have been complaining about the car and the blue light etc. Who the frak cares when the acting is THAT bad?! I so wanted this first episode to be good, hope we'll see an improvement later on!

Oh, and the film was way better, way better!!

[Becki]

I enjoyed it as well. Love Deanna Russo and I think she and JB have good chemistry. I'm curious to know what happened during the time period he doesn't remember.
