Knight Rider 2008 - Page 3

post #101 of 120
Critics didn't like Glen A Larson's classic Knight Rider either. I just hope enough people watch this series so there can be a full season order. Sure the show needs improvement, but this is only the first episode, and you would think that the critics saw something like...the new 90210.

Maybe the plane is so secret that you're not supposed to believe you're on a top secret military plane even when you're on it.

Take away the nostalgia and was the original Knight Rider any good? Seriously, I watched it on DVD and the show does not live up the premise at all.

Neoolong, Knight Rider was a top 10 show when it first aired against Dukes Of Hazzard. To me Knight Rider is one of the best series of all time. Of course I am biased, being a fan of several Glen A Larson series, supercars and action series in general.

Which doesn't mean all that much.

Well the show is about a talking car how much fucking crime can the thing really solve. I mean unless there is crime on a road or parking lot Kit is sorta useless. The bad guys oculd just ya know go inside. And once they are inside who comes aafter them...........some dude. Boy that guy they picked is bland as bland can be. Yet this show is still more realistic then NBC's other shit storm Heroes. Aww NBC you used to be so cool.

My office mate had this on and I drifted in to see. God. This was aggressively bad. I had it set up to DVR tonight and after those 10 minutes, I'm going home to delete the recording. Just...bad. Not funny bad, but shitty bad. The action was boring, the acting was lame and the lead actor is bland. At least the Asian Girl TM was hot, right!?!

I stopped watching about halfway in. I think the writing and the effects were actually fine for what the show is, but the acting is so absolutely atrocious that it's nearly impossible to focus on anything else.

I decided to give this a shot. Fifteen minutes in, I cursed myself for being so foolish. The Bush address right after was like manna from Heaven, and I can't stand the man.

This is like that recent Flash Gordon series all over again.

Timothy225, You are right about...Flash Gordon being a poor adaption. However, outside of Billy being useless, the rest of the show was good. I hope the series is a hit, so there can be more action oriented series on tv. I think that the show will continue to improve, the first episode is leaps and bounds better than the awful, too talky pilot. Hopefully Hasselhoff will return for a sweeps episode.

Pump your brakes, fleed, lest I become the KARR to your KITT.

Misfit, Pump my brakes? Why...I like the new Knight Rider. So rather than...Pump My Brakes...I will activate Turbo Boost to help accelerate the chances that the New Knight Rider will race to the top of the ratings race.

After a very good premiere episode of Knight Rider last week, this weeks episode jettisons the slow parts and adds more racing, Deanna Russo in a bikini (along with a bevy of beautiful starlets by the pool), more gunplay, and a plot that Glen A Larson would have approved of.

The series looks incredibly cheap, so maybe fleed, Hoff and a bunch of weekly reviewers is actually enough to warrant a long run.

This weeks ep was terrific...K.I.T.T can even operate...underwater, which is very cool indeed. This week Michael and Zoe went undercover as Devin and Bonnie (a nice reference to the original Glen A. Larson classic...Knight Rider!)

More Knight Rider tomorrow.

Full season order happened. And Deanna Russo is ridiculously hot.
post #119 of 120
Chris Myers, Thanks for the update. Did anyone see the issue of Maxim with Deanna Russo? It was the one with Anna Kournikova the ex tennis star/model on the cover? I second the fact that Deanna Russo is Hot, and one of the best parts of this new Knight Rider. Don't forget to see the new Knight Rider tonight...only on NBC.

Another week another good episode.
