Drop the shapeshifting car, too by RyanMurray	Nov 9th, 2008 11:29:21 PM
I mean, really...sometimes MORE ISNT BETTER.
Drop the whole damn thing. Watch Pushing Daisies. by zacdilone	Nov 9th, 2008 11:34:49 PM
The facts are these: Knight Rider always sucked, and still does.
"fans will be relieved" by Amy Chasing	Nov 9th, 2008 11:36:06 PM
ooooh, you're a harsh one Herc. ;)
Deanna Russo by tehgreekhammer	Nov 9th, 2008 11:39:08 PM
Is fucking hot.
On a geeky note.... by shellfishh	Nov 9th, 2008 11:39:33 PM
Turned on the TV last week and before I even knew that I was watching Knight Rider, I saw a character dressed up as Captain Jack Harkness for Halloween. Also, the Asian chick is hot. Not enough reason to watch the show, though.
It's over. by otm shank	Nov 9th, 2008 11:44:02 PM
Well, it really never began. All this is tantamount to rearranging deck chairs on the Titanic. This show is as dead as John McCain's election campaign.
Can one dress up as Captn Jack Harkness? by Amy Chasing	Nov 9th, 2008 11:45:50 PM
I mean a guy in a long black trench-coat and suspenders (pants-suspenders, not... well, he IS Captn Jack Harkness, so the clarification is valid) is just a guy in a trench-coat and suspenders. I submit you can't dress up as Captn Harkness. You're either him, or you're not. ... and the sooner he gets his own show (with better writers) will not be soon enough.
Good idea! by daroru	Nov 9th, 2008 11:46:52 PM
Make it closer to the original! Because the original show is so highly regarded in this day and age. Get Michael Knight back to what he should be doing - saving pretty ladies in small towns from corrupt sheriffs.
Also by tehgreekhammer	Nov 9th, 2008 11:54:23 PM
He should be spreading his seed through middle america. Like johnny Appleseed

Anything that needs to be rebooted... by mediamole	Nov 9th, 2008 11:55:47 PM
this many times obviously aint working....just ask my old laptop.
Bad story choices... by veritasses	Nov 10th, 2008 12:02:13 AM
The bad acting was amplified by the campy, corny, silly, stupid ideas. You make a dumbed down show for little kids, of course the ratings are going to plummet. There are so many better, cooler ways to approach a show featuring an "entity" with artificial intelligence that they could have explored. Really, what's the point of having a fully sentient machine if it's just going to be used as a gadget? If they're going to do a reboot, make it a serious drama and explore issues about humanity, ethics, relationships, dangers of technology etc. That's what good science fiction is about, not chasing bad guys of the week with a hot rod.
I second the Russo chick bein hot!!! by Ka Dargo	Nov 10th, 2008 12:03:35 AM
We're talkin insanely ridiculously hot!!! And the asian chick is right behind her. Speaking of the hot asian....anyone catch the last episode? Explain how the bad girl was able to get plastic surgery to look EXACTLY like the asian chick??? How can surgery make you look like her freakin twin??
How do they obviously believe this will work? by geraldbeans	Nov 10th, 2008 12:06:46 AM
Like the current audience is going to rush out and tell all the people who we're proven have no interest in this show that "Hey! You know that terrorist of the week shit you were avoiding!? Well now Knight Rider is about saving the everyman!" Cue millions of people flipping to NBC on Friday nights?????
Amy Chasing by shellfishh	Nov 10th, 2008 12:07:24 AM
I can only fall back on the excuse that the Asian chick (I would use her name if I knew it) SAID that he was dressed as Captain Jack Harkness. I blame it on Knight Rider.

Amy Chasing by the podosphere	Nov 10th, 2008 12:31:37 AM
If Canada and Germany get together and buy the United States from China, maybe we could end up with President Crane and Vice President Buchannon. Imagine the duets!
the asian chick by the milf lover	Nov 10th, 2008 12:35:24 AM
IMDB says her name is Smith Cho, her character is Zoe Chae, I agree she is hot but I never watched the show and dont plan to. Sounds like they just realized they should've cancelled it to make such drastic changes.
zacdilone is correct, watch Pushing Daisies! by br1947	Nov 10th, 2008 12:35:35 AM

Wait... there's a new Knight Rider? by Bob Loblaw Law Blog	Nov 10th, 2008 12:59:19 AM
Oh, wait... I've known about this for months... and I still have never watched it, nor do I care... a sentiment shared with pretty much everybody else in America.
I am a Fan by Playhouse	Nov 10th, 2008 01:09:18 AM
Of the original. I have no problem admitting that. I'm not saying it was a well-written show by any stretch of the imagination. But growing up in the '80s, KR and Dukes of Hazzard were class shows. Sure, I've watched reurns and there are many wince-inducing moments throughout. But there's still a sense of adventure to it that a lot of newer series lack because they are overthought and overwrought. This new show is a good example. It blows and if you're already on your third iteration of the concept in the first season (last spring's movie included), it's time to toss in the head gasket.
get rid of the retard CGI by lynxpro	Nov 10th, 2008 01:12:31 AM
I find the CGI to be the worst aspect of this show. The CGI'ed up blower on KITT looks stupid and obviously fake. The CGI "Turbo Boost" which looks like a repulsor (sic) lift hover is equally dumbtastic. That needs to go. And then the whole car transforming based upon what an ass fuck at Microsoft speculated regarding the abilities of cars 20 years from now needs to also be dumped. Microsoft should never be consulted about future tech because time and time again, they can't even figure out modern tech and are constantly behind the likes of Sony, Apple, and Google. Bruce Davison needs to be kept and this whole hokey looking Las Vegas vibe needs to be dropped for pure action and something that resembles the old Knight Rider but without the ironic cheese. Seriously, if this show in its present form had half its budget, it would be lucky to be shown on the USA Network. The leads are definitely not the problem, its the production, the sucktastic effects, and the shitty writing. Throw some cash at some respectable genre writers to tender some scripts.
Captain Jack Harkness reference... by lynxpro	Nov 10th, 2008 01:14:45 AM
What show was Captain Jack referenced on? I haven't watched last night's Knight Rider...although I just noticed that on tonight's episode of American Dad they were able to insult Eagle Scouts, red heads, and Doctor Who fans within the space of one minute. I was amazed at that randomness.
Blade Runner is on SciFi, mofos... by lynxpro	Nov 10th, 2008 01:15:54 AM
Turn it on...it be Sir Ridley's "Final Cut" in which he continues to deny that the original screenplay had the narration included. Still, awesome film.
Let's see, a recap of last week... by ugh	Nov 10th, 2008 01:25:37 AM
1) A lucky last corner break and Lewis Hamilton wins the F1 Drivers' Championship. 2) Obama/Biden (for the non-believers, just remember that ANYTHING is better than the last 8 years). 3) WTF, "Knight Rider" gets a 3rd reboot!? ...Well, 2 out of 3 ain't bad. (Does this mean that when the Hoff joins the cast, it will be the 4th reboot...or has that happened already?)
Wow, this news actually inspires hope! by DrPain	Nov 10th, 2008 01:28:29 AM
I stopped watching this new Knight Rider many episodes ago, but I will give it a second chance and tune back in for those last nine. That statement up there sounds great, never liked that dumb Saturday morning team anyway as well as the jumbo jet, transformer kitt and poor green screen stuff. And here’s hoping they do something about that lame heavy metal theme song as well.
"not chasing bad guys of the week with a hot rod." by IAmMrMonkey!	Nov 10th, 2008 01:35:43 AM
Um...wasn't that EXACTLY what the original Knight Rider was about?
Journeyman... by Fievel	Nov 10th, 2008 01:46:34 AM
Journeyman.... Studio 60... thrown away like a dirty tissue. But Knight Rider gets a full season?!!? The execs at NBC need some serious intervention/rehab/etc.
Firing all the expensive actors... by photoboy	Nov 10th, 2008 02:18:34 AM
To be fair Davison and Poitier have had nothing to do every week but I'm surprised they're dumping Arias since he actually had something to do each week. What I don't get is why they didn't fire Paul Campbell. I know he was on Galactica and therefore has some fan-cred, but he's absolutely fucking horrible in KR. Couldn't they also fire the car and get something cool looking when they do the reboot? I hate that car...

How About Dumping The Show???!!!!! by Media Messiah	Nov 10th, 2008 02:53:20 AM
This is throwing good money after bad!!! This show has no chance of surviving, so why not just cancel it already and replace it with a superior program.
I can't believe this is going to have more episodes than Journym by Spifftacular Squirrel Girl	Nov 10th, 2008 03:45:54 AM
...I'm even surprised it's lasted longer than Bionic Woman for that matter. I tried watching this show a few weeks ago and could only handle about 2 minutes. Even seeing an advertisement for this series wants to make me change the channel.
Supernatural... by DC Films	Nov 10th, 2008 04:32:43 AM
Look at how Supernatural stopped being the 'take it or leave it' monster of the week show, to a compelling serial that you miss at your peril if you wanna know what's developing. Knight Rider, like any dramatic series, needs a major developing story arch - a plot. Darker the better - then the lighter stuff (which there's plenty of scope for with KITT) balances it, rather than coming off cheesy.
why not? that's why CTRL-ALT-DEL was invented... by Maniaq	Nov 10th, 2008 04:49:42 AM
obviously this show runs on Windows - reboot and reboot OFTEN!!
a man and a car... by quintana007	Nov 10th, 2008 05:43:21 AM
...the most natural combination in the whole wide world, seems to be the hardest thing to do in television. And it gets worse with every minute, "We reboot and reboot feed you with this shit til you enjoy it". Why isn‘t this running at FOX? It would be already long forgotten.
Can the shark be jumped when it was never good to begin with? by Yeti	Nov 10th, 2008 06:24:10 AM
Hmmmmmm??????
I think it's good by Dazzler69	Nov 10th, 2008 06:36:12 AM
Hot women, fast cars, Karr might be making an appearance soon. It's starting to build excitement for me! Dumbing down the stories more is a bad idea.
BRING BACK HOFF!!!!! by GeorgieBoy	Nov 10th, 2008 07:13:19 AM
Jeez, it's so frickin' easy to get people to watch this show. Bring back The Hoff and Daniels! Dump Val Kilmer (in the nearest landfill) and whammo, you have a show people will watch.
just retool the original scripts by j2talk	Nov 10th, 2008 07:17:08 AM
and film them, how hard would that be????????surely if it worked once, it would work again, just change a few names and update a bit of the tech and bingo....5yrs worth of scripts are already to go
Get The Hoff = people will watch(at least for a while) by Mr Spork	Nov 10th, 2008 07:27:38 AM
It seems like they are trying to avoid that.
Knight Rider by dyerknight	Nov 10th, 2008 07:35:05 AM
I like the show. I don't "love" the show but most of the problem is the sheer lack of realism and trying to put too much into it. The transforming car the whole "Kitt Cave" the silly "KR" logo everywhere. Make it simple and more realistic. The guy, the girl, the car and the dad. Pretty simple actually. No need to have all the useless people ( mostly for political correctness it's so obvious it hurts! ) the car being able to transform into a truck or a submarine ( useless and silly ). I've watched every episode so far and the best thing from the new Knight Rider was the 2 hour pilot. The car was very realistic and the only silly thing it did was change color. If they went back to that the series would have survived. I've said 1,000,000 times make the show more CSI meets the original Knight Rider and the show would take off. It only makes sense as the adudience they are trying to reach loves fast cars and CSI is the number one show in the country...... IS anyone listening or reading????
Was underwhelmed by the pilot by MRJONZ72	Nov 10th, 2008 07:37:37 AM
so I never watched the series even though Sydney Potier is fine.
The car transformed to a truck and a submarine??? by MRJONZ72	Nov 10th, 2008 07:40:43 AM
is that someone just posted?? Maybe its a good thing I did skip out on thier series.
William Daniels.... by blacknoi	Nov 10th, 2008 07:54:29 AM
will give KITT the voice he deserves.

Anyone interested in reading some "4400" fan fiction? by Leafar the Lost	Nov 10th, 2008 08:23:42 AM
I ask, because that would be more interesting than watching a reboot of a reboot of Knight Rider in the same season. Men who cannot accept the fact they are wrong are behind this shit-pile of a series. It pisses me off, because in the right hands Knight Rider could have been a good, sci-fi series.
Oh fuck you, SOUTH PARK FAN! by LordEnigma	Nov 10th, 2008 08:55:54 AM
Seriously; you are a whack motherfucker sometimes Herc. You just need to accept the inherent silliness of the show, embrace Russo's hotness, and enjoy a trippy ass KITT!
This show is fucked by greg39	Nov 10th, 2008 09:32:59 AM
It makes Manimal look like high art. And now that Ford is going broke and won't continue to pay for the product placement look for it to die quickly.
ridiculous by yodaismyhomie	Nov 10th, 2008 09:36:55 AM
You know what worked with the original series was the simplicity. It was the basic car, the guy stopping crime in little towns, and just being fun. The new version (which is like the 4th incarnation i guess...remember KR 2000?) takes itself too seriously and isn't that great a show. Let's just get back to basics with a talking car that looks real, doesn't transform and doesn't survive napalm attacks but driving fast. Oh...and why not just cancel it for the season and start over again next year instead of a midseason switch that will confuse people.
Why NBC needs Knight Rider... by Darth_Nader	Nov 10th, 2008 09:44:18 AM
It's all about synergy. NBC needs a show like Knight Rider because it can shoehorn in promotions for other items in the show. It's what they had in Las Vegas. If Universal's hottest artist was about to release their album, guess who would be the 'special guest star' that week? I am avoiding KR like the plague, but I can only assume it is a matter of time before we hear something like "KITT, we need to get into that Young Jezzy concert before the terrorists poison his extreme Mountain Dew Voltage. I know, let's pick up a limited time Pizza Hut Meat Lover's extreme with a sauce stuffed crust, and use it to sneak back stage! Quick, log on to ticketmaster and get me a ticket! Here, make sure you use my Pepsi discount code!" At least that is what I imaging most of these episodes are like.

Kitt Transforms into Space Shuttle in Next Ep by _Maltheus_	Nov 10th, 2008 10:15:21 AM
I assume anyway, I gave up after the first ep. The pilot was ok, but they "rebooted" it and made it even worse. Which way will this reboot go? I can only imagine cause I'll be watching Daisies for however long that lasts.

How long till Kitt transforms into a bi-pedal robot? by Xian042	Nov 10th, 2008 11:37:14 AM
You KNOW its coming. I can just smell it. Kitt will have to scale some rockface and the only way he'll be able to do it is transform into the experimental "R" stage. "But Michael, the "R" stage hasn't been fully tested! My structural integrity could be comprmomised!" "Kitt, the structural integrity of this show is ALREADY comprimised! JUST DO IT!"

Cancel Studio 60 and Journeyman... I hope KR is a festering boil on the ass of NBC. I don't watch this -- I TiVo through commercials and that's all the new KR is... a commercial.
It's entertaining enough, but.... by Philvis	Nov 10th, 2008 02:11:58 PM
I really think they need to kill the transforming aspect and kill the CGI. If that was taken away, I would take it for what it is meant to be. They aren't trying to win Emmy's or anything like that. It is just supposed to be a fun show. I do think going back to the regular type story lines would be better as well. Terrorist of the week can get old. I didn't realize California was such a hotbed for them! Oh, get the original voice for KITT back as well. I'm still waiting for a Hasselhoff cameo with the original KITT. I still reminesce back to my 84' Firebird I owned...gotta love Knight Rider.

Um... by Cobbio	Nov 10th, 2008 04:54:51 PM
Wow, that's just pathetic. I mean, really, really pathetic. Rebooting a horribly shitty, braindead show with low ratings so that... what? We can save our asses from dark 1980's karma? The original show sucked. The new show sucked. The new, new show sucked. And the latest new, new, new show sucked harder than them all. According to ratings, even the handful of steadfast braindead have given up on Knight Rider. But nooooo! The studio, possibly the MOST braindead entity ever to exist, has decided to "reboot" the show in mid-fucking-season. Wow. As opposed to letting the show die and trying something new for the braindead demographic, huh? For example: *"People Play Video Games!" A rocking show where viewers watch drunken truckers get their 360 on. Death metal pulses through the entire show, along with hyperspeed editing to ensure ADD-complicity. It's like getting drunk and playing "Gears of War," except you're not. Tune on in, bro! (spoken with bumpkin-cool accent) Or "Fartin' in Cars," a show where a team of wacky tattooed sixteen-year-old high school dropouts get drunk, break into BMWs, fart their brains out, and laugh oh-so-hard about it. Get high and get stinky, dood! These shows would garner better ratings than a mid-season reboot (still can't fucking believe it) of "Knight Rider." Wow. Pathetic.

Bring back "The Highwayman" by Billy Goat	Nov 10th, 2008 08:44:14 PM
...starring Jacko as Jetto!
just watched the episode in question... by lynxpro	Nov 10th, 2008 09:07:05 PM
The Captain Jack reference was the most entertaining part of the episode. Again, the actors are not the problem. They just need to cut out the stupid CGI, amp up the action, and get The Hoff to guest star. They get points for bringing back KARR but why did they have to ignore "his" origin from the original series to introduce him as some transforming moon rover looking evil robot? And they should not axe Bruce Davison...
and aside from the CGI in this episode... by lynxpro	Nov 10th, 2008 09:07:47 PM
...it was a budget saving episode...no location shooting.
Will Knight RIder guy have THREE girls in bed? by kabong	Nov 10th, 2008 09:33:48 PM
See, starting with just two in bed with the gay guy starring the series indicated lack of oomph. Don't neglect a female maverick cop with a ten-million-dollar Malibu lesbo pad.
They couldn't get a remake right!!!!!!! by kabong	Nov 10th, 2008 09:37:39 PM
How stupid do you have to be in network TV? Whedon shows his smarts, though. He remakes his Dollhouse series before it runs. TV is almost as stupid as the movie business.
This is Funny by Phategod2	Nov 10th, 2008 09:51:00 PM
A Reboot of a Remake is getting a reboot.
I look forward to by Phategod2	Nov 10th, 2008 10:03:07 PM
The "StreetHawk" "Blue Thunder" "Airwolf" "Automan" remakes This ALMOST as dumb as reality TV.
does anyone remember what other big NBC fiasco got a reboot 6 ep by WIBoomer1	Nov 10th, 2008 10:03:48 PM
Gentlemen, I give you SUPERTRAIN! They 2 also got rid of half the cast, and had no clear direction...and it was on a train, so there was no need for where to go, you just follow the frickin' tracks!
How to save the Show by Phategod2	Nov 10th, 2008 10:43:15 PM
Get rid of the entire Cast Get rid of Kitt. Hire Kevin Mckidd Change the story to revolve around a guy who goes back in time to fix problems in the past and deal the his family and reprecussions of his actions in the present, and rename the show Journeyman then I'll be haapy.
This gets full season and Journeyman gets cancelled after 13?? by Turd Furgeson	Nov 10th, 2008 10:45:09 PM
This is by far the worst show I have ever seen, period. It reminds me of a SCI-FI show of the week. Bad writing, bad acting, bad production, low budget and terrible. I saw nothing in this show leading me to believe it was a keeper..
I'm Curious by dyerknight	Nov 10th, 2008 10:49:05 PM
Was Journeyman really that good of a show? I never watched it and you all seem to think it's a great show that got the axe. I was pissed when The Dead Zone got the boot but the last season of The Dead Zone was pure garbage. So I can see why it went bye bye.
Yes it was. by Phategod2	Nov 10th, 2008 10:51:31 PM
The 1st episode was boring till the last five minutes and the show never looked back quality wise from those last five minutes.
i think it would be wise by frankenfickle	Nov 10th, 2008 11:39:54 PM
to reboot this show before this reboot hits air. actually, i would reboot it twice.
The goofiest Shit on 4 wheels. CANCEL. IT. by GenreBoy	Nov 11th, 2008 12:08:49 AM
I was unlucky enough to watch and episode of this while i waited for "LIFE". It was so under written and badly acted. Justin Bruening comes off like a dopey-dumbass trying to be tough, without ever being tuff. It reminds me of the "Spy Script" That Carell's Character Michael Scott wrote on "The Office"...only this show isnt funny.
it'll be better - now it's the crime SOLVING car... by Maniaq	Nov 11th, 2008 06:24:19 AM
I say we take off, nuke the site from orbit - it's the only way to be sure
...and I'm still waiting for an Airwollf reboot?? by Maniaq	Nov 11th, 2008 06:31:15 AM
maybe they could exist in the same universe - a kind of "Justice League" of crime SOLVING machinery? I would have said Blue Thunder but they decided not to go with terrorist-of-the-week any more...
it'd be like... be like .. the THUNDERBIRDS by Maniaq	Nov 11th, 2008 06:32:41 AM
on second thought-
KR has encountered a serious error and needs to shut down by Maniaq	Nov 11th, 2008 06:56:49 AM
if this is the first time you've seen this error, fire all your staff, hire new writers and reboot. if you see this error again, follow these steps: check to make sure there are no scenes involving flying motorcycles and a pool of sharks. if this is your first season, contact your new writers to see if there are any updates available if problems continue, disable or remove pointless cgi or characters. If you need to use Safe Mode to remove or disable components, try Cameos by Original Cast Members under Advanced Startup Options.

It's worse than drowning in raw sewage. by BilboRing	Nov 11th, 2008 10:33:07 AM

I tried to watch an episode but my TV killed itself. by BilboRing	Nov 11th, 2008 10:34:12 AM

NBC is just fucking a corpse at this point. by BilboRing	Nov 11th, 2008 10:34:44 AM

reboot The Highwayman next... by lynxpro	Nov 11th, 2008 11:41:17 AM
I loved that short-lived series. The Highwayman's boss was the hot lizard chick Diana from V. I just don't know who'd they cast in Jacko's role since we don't have any obnoxious stereotypical Aussie actors outside of Crowe and he would cost too much. Seriously NBC, read the critical posts and figure out how to improve Knight Rider. After all, you guys had much less reasons to cancel Bionic Woman last year.
NBC is remaking My Mother the Car by JoeSixPack	Nov 11th, 2008 04:04:47 PM
Might as well at this point.
Royston: "Night Boat"... by mbeemer	Nov 12th, 2008 10:37:17 AM
...has already been done. It was called "Thunder in Paradise" and starred Hulk Hogan. It was utterly unwatchable despite the presence of Carol Alt as a supporting character. (Which was quite a pity...)
Night Boat was also a show on the Simpsons by indyjonez100	Nov 12th, 2008 11:10:33 AM
I hope it doesn't get away from the water. Oh wait, the bad guys are getting away near an obvious jump point for a boat.
