I fell asleep to it yesterday!
Got the first 10 mins and the last 5 and didn't really enjoy those.

At least I caught Hoffs appearance though

Good find though!

I think a Mustang is an excellent choice, Shelby at that
Moving on from the original, not trying to live in the past.
As for the voice, at the start I would agree, but voice simulation has come a long way. Using the old Stephen Hawkins voice would be a step in the wrong direction really

Glad people are enjoying it. As for when it comes to Sky, its only starting to run in the USA at the mo, so a while yet I reckon ...... quite a while yet.

Paddi, new scanning pattern though eh

Not sure about the second spoiler for high speed mode though.... Will make an appearance on BarryBoys at that rate.

Nice to see the Hoff not in leather for once though lol

I'll try and find the Goliath and Goliath Returns episodes, along with Karr arguably the best Knight Rider episodes ever made.

It's like making a Terminator film without Arnold Swollenknackers, you can't make (A cheesey) Knight Rider without The Hoff IMO!

Better known as the voice of Optimus Prime.

The new series - Apparently they had some guy do nearly all the voice over for the series then Ford found out the guy had done voice over work for a GM commercial so they dropped him for Val Kilmer.

That was quite good to watch actually.

Was this a one off or will they be doing anymore?

Really? The trailer I saw didn't have him in it, or maybe I just wasn't paying attention.

Blink and you'll miss him. If it's the pilot show you're referring to then he does do a cameo appearance, but it's near the end. And believe me the years (And possibly the booze) hasn't done him any favours.

From the pilot:


No series commissioned yet, that's why they call it a pilot.

Really? I thought there was a whole series set up?
Pilots are still called pilots once the show runs a full series aint they?

On the NBC pages they keep talking about "the series"

Watched it last night. Have to say I liked it.

The problem with a series like this in this day and age is believe-ability. Not that some dude can drive around in an intelligent car that can change colour etc but that he can get away with shoot outs and car chases etc without anyone noticing. Plus series these days need an underlying story in order to hold interest. Saving the day or some dissy blonde every week won't wash these days.

When the intro music started my wife looked at me and said "I can see you grinning you big child!"

The Hoff is sporting one too many face lifts though.

Pretty sure its either got a series of green lit for a series. I thought thats why Bionic Woman was canned so quickly to make room for this.

I would imagine Ford will be able to pull strings at Fox. It is an hour long advert after all.
