Check out Knight Rider on youtube - evil KARR vs the all new KITT!!! It's like something out of the Transformers movie - special effects have moved on a bit since I was a kid :

YouTube - New Knight Automated Roving Robot (KARR)

richs2891

They showed the first 17 shows of the series in the States, if look on the torrent sites I'm sure you will find them !

them 2 youtube clips are awful is Mr Zulu the voice of KITT?

Did they not try to revive Knightrider a few years ago and it was a FAIL, to be honest i don't think this will be any better

as said above been on in the states for a while, I watched the first few episodes but turned to the same crap as knight rider 2000 of whatever it was called.

Snazy

I watched the entire first series.

Pure mature cheddar cheese, but great for a laugh
Poor acting, rubbish plot, just like the old one

I will be watching series 2 for sure.
Just for laughs of course.

Oh I meant to say, the transformations are shocking, I agree. And attack mode..... who the **** designed that !

IMHO I think they have ruined the classics by this!

I also loved Street Hawk!

Snazy

Street Hawk was brilliant !
Automan was better though

I would not say they have ruined the classic, I think they have done well with this. Its not taking itself serious, and has the added benefit of lovely ladiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiieeees in it

Loved the chemistry between the 2 nerds that help keep Kitt running.

hux309

Actually it's val kilmer.

EddScott

I'll be watching it - I quite liked the pilot.

No doubt it won't make series 2. I don't get why they bother to do this in the US. Run a half decent show and then cancel it. Anything sci-fi is doomed to fail. I think the only reason Battlestar got to finish was because they always said they'd only do 4 series. They had an ending.

Jesus, Automan looks well corny, I've never heard of it before but going to download a few to see what there like After I finish doing the full series of Tour Of Duty!

DYK

Bonnie was fit actualy was alot of fit girls in the originals just wasn't at the right age to notice it..still Knight rider is ruined same as if they did a new Airwolf and it turned into a robot load of sh1te...actually i wouldn't mind seeing the original Daisy Duke.

Snazy

lol super cheese, thats what Automan was, but you know what, in its day is was utterly fantastic
Like I say, dont expect much, it was more fantasy sci-fi.

Let me know what you thought

sbk1972

Mmm your be disappointed here matey. I loved the original knightrider, yeah I can I admit it ! :-) Thought it was cool, but I was 15 or so at the time. Loved the car, loved Bonnie, the mechnanic. :-)

So, was really looking forward to this new series, which was out last year in the US. Downloaded it, and watched the pilot / film, and a few episodes, and was totally pi55ed off. It was pure 90210, in a car, cr4p !

Also, the way the bring in The Hoff in the first pilot / epsiode, to try and stitch it all together is a total waste of time !

Didnt even like the car, felt it was over developed, the way it could change from a mustang, to a pickup ! Ok, I know its all made up, but that was stupid.

TURD ! What amazes me, that in the US, shows get cancelled at the drop of a hat. For some reason Dirty Money was canned, and this rubbish wasnt !

EddScott

Did anyone watch the first episode on Tuesday?

Tried to like it but its a bit bollox isn't it

The changing to a pick up was stupid, the attack mode was stupid. The interior of the car is more stock to make you want to buy a mustang. The pilot wasn't too bad, the interior and the changing exterior I could go for, the pick up truck thing was just lame.

With Karr changing into a transformer it puts it beyond acceptable - Kitt can do things a transformer would have to read its own manual to do!

The acting isn't very good, the speeded up bits and CGI are cheap looking.

How the yanks work is beyond me. They dish out this drivel, allow that borefest dollhouse another series yet ditch Terminator because of a few iffy episodes.

Knight Rider for me didn't get past episode one.

stilover

That clip looked ****.

WTF is changing into a Transformer all about?

The original KITT was kind of believable (back in the day) but turning into a Transformer? No thankyou.

EddScott

And another thing - Whose idea was it to use the sound file of a Cylon from Battlestar Galactica as KITTs red lighty bit?

And I don't like his voice thingy -a cross between Hal 9000 and the old KITT.

Mind you, the bird was in her undies and you just would have there and then to be fair.

Well unfortunately there will be no Season 2 as it's another show that's been cancelled with a few others due to poor ratings.

You'll be refering to this then



She is fantastic is she not? After the initial excitement at the return of Knight Rider, I have to agree it's pretty poor, but for as long Deanna Russo is in it, I'll be watching.
