    New Knight Rider!

    New series stats tomorrow (thursday) at 8pm on FIVER. it does look a lot more modern but I'm not quite sure what to make of it. The new car looks like it came out of Toys R us, but the fast & furious films sold because of it, so its anyone guess....


    Anyone else planning on giving it ago?

    Re: New Knight Rider!

    Hasn't this been on for a while now? A friend recommended it but I couldn't get into it. Seemed too cheesy and at the same time not cheesy enough. I guess some things need to be left in the past. Val Kilmer isn't a patch on the campness of the original KITT though he appears to be attempting it.

    Re: New Knight Rider!

    For a moment - I thought u meant it had been picked up for a second season

    It starts slow - but gets better later in the season... at least thats what i've been told from friends in the USofA

    Oh and the original bloke was going to do the voice of KITT -but he was advertising another car make or something - so they had to scrap his voice and replace him with Val... apparently he's not so bad however.

    The series is quite bad....even more so when you discover KITT can now "morph" into other vehicles. It was then or so I canned it. Not cheesey just plain awful.

    Re: New Knight Rider!

    I've seen the trailer on Five a couple of times now and I just don't like the look of the new car, especially when it goes into that way OTT "hot-rod" mode. It was bad enough when they did something similiar to the original car towards the end.

    Which was done to boost the ratings of the original series.

    Having already seen Knight Rider 2008 at first I was quite pleased with it, but it got worse towards the end. Pitty really I so wanted this to make it for another series, but I guess well its a good thing that they haven't.

    It would appear a series about one man and one car only worked in the 80's.

    It did indeed get better closer to the end of the season when they changed things, don't wanna say more than that as it might ruin it for Andehh, but it was too little too late, NBC axed it, thankfully it didn't end on a Cliffhanger.

    It started on the UK SKY Sci-Fi channel a few months back and way back in September last year in the US, I'm guessing Andehh hasn't got SKY or Cable or broadband for that matter.

    Re: New Knight Rider!

    The transforming idea is stupid. I DO like the car though. But its another flick of babes and cars. Knight Rider, Baywatch style. How skimpy can you get with bikinis.

    Its not bad though I have to admit.

    Re: New Knight Rider!

    i watched the series it was one of those programs that was really cheesy but me and the missus sat and watched it religiously though just to see the level of cheese we ended up really enjoying it in the end.

    Re: New Knight Rider!

    The lead character in it is sposed to be ex army in the storyline but he looks like he just stepped of a catwalk - its way to plastic - and the car aint right either needed to be a bit sleeker

    Permanently confused

    Love the Mustang but what were they thinking with that spoiler?!
    Looks like they've glued some silver-painted kitchen-roll tubes to the trunk lid and slapped a Blue Peter flattened cereal box on top








    Will still watch it though!

    Re: New Knight Rider!

    Saw most episodes on Sci-Fi over the last few months. Yes its bad, but so bad i kept coming back If you don't like the change into Pursuit mode then start cringing when it goes into off-road mode. Anyway the ladies are pretty fit, so one reason to watch
