- bixby1, on 12/04/2008, -1/+153Knight Rider subverted everything The Hoff did to make it great. This show was an *****.
- PhillAholic, on 12/04/2008, -0/+134anyone that watched the pilot movie saw this coming. Somehow NBC didn't.
- Sonan, on 12/04/2008, -0/+93The new KITT was stupid. A car that transforms into a truck or other things, just so they can advertise the different vehicles through the show? Why not transform it into a blender so they can advertise that too! That along with all the other ridiculous crap it was supposedly able to do made it seem like 10-year-olds designed it. "Hey, let's make it transform! And shoot lasers! And go under water! And..."
- Snoosy, on 12/04/2008, -12/+70For ***** sake, people need to stop saying FAIL to describe everything.
- Jacare, on 12/05/2008, -0/+45it lasted 17 episodes?!? are you ***** kidding me!
- DrFeltersnatch, on 12/05/2008, -0/+44There was a new Knight Rider show?
- GorfTron, on 12/05/2008, -0/+41Knight Rider made Cleopatra 2525 look like Citizen Kane.
- aaron4, on 12/05/2008, -0/+39i cant believe they aired 17 episodes. and yet Firefly only had 14. i know it was on a different network, but all these executive make bad decisions.
sorry, im still bitter. - andrewlotta, on 12/05/2008, -3/+35In my opinion, they chose a ***** car.
- deadapostle, on 12/05/2008, -1/+33Dear God please don't bring back Rosie.
- coltrane68, on 12/04/2008, -1/+28This is no shock. If TV executives continue to mindlessly re-use antiquated plots as ideas for current programming, they will fail. Reviving Knight Rider is the equivalent of a crappy pop singer releasing an album of covers of standards.
- Autodidaddict, on 12/04/2008, -3/+28Dark Angel, Titus, Undeclared, Action, That '80s Show, Wonderfalls, Fastlane, Andy Richter Controls the Universe, Skin, Girls' Club, Cracking Up, The Pitts, Firefly, Get Real, Freakylinks, Wanda at Large, Costello, The Lone Gunmen, A Minute with Stan Hooper, Normal Ohio, Pasadena, Harsh Realm, Keen Eddie, The Street, American Embassy, Cedric the Entertainer, The Tick, Luis, and Greg the Bunny. But if all of those shows flop then we might have a chance.
- benroy, on 12/05/2008, -0/+24The only way that this show could be worse would be if it wasn't canceled.
- spyd3rweb, on 12/05/2008, -2/+26Kitt is not a ford, doomed to fail from the start.
- ericdano, on 12/05/2008, -0/+23I can't say I'll miss it. I suffered ONE episode and decided to pass on it. They need to bring back Farscape (with a different cast) or Firefly or something that was good and killed too soon.
- nitesoIja, on 12/05/2008, -1/+21should have used a pontiac instead of some transformer car that somehow manages to transform into all the new ford models -.-
- nomadspartan, on 12/04/2008, -0/+19Indeed it was, I just watched first 2 episodes and i was disgusted. They ruined the great concept the original Knight Rider presented. I am glad it's canceled, no show is better than a ***** one. I hope they get their act together and make a good remake of the old classic.
- McDeath, on 12/05/2008, -0/+16Good riddance, the first time that I saw that riced-out mustang I just wanted to barf!
- imnojezus, on 12/05/2008, -0/+17Anyone who heard the phrase "they're remaking Knight Rider" saw it coming.
- TiMMY8765, on 12/05/2008, -0/+16the car sucked because it wasn't voiced by Mr. Feeney.
- dupswapdrop, on 12/04/2008, -3/+19Whats next a remake of I love Lucy?
- robotfriendly, on 12/05/2008, -3/+18You can add FTW to that.
- bytor4232, on 12/05/2008, -0/+14We are all bitter my friend. Firefly should be still running.
- blankman, on 12/05/2008, -0/+14I thought the car was horrible. It had no personality for one. The technology in it was retardedly cartoonish, like a glove compartment where you can stick your hand in and have your thumb reattached, and then next time it opens it's a finger print making machine, or whatever else they need for an episode.
And then the stupid car is a transformer that can transform into any Ford product, which ruins the show. Plus KITT never comes to the rescue like in the original.
The original, while cheesy, was great, and fit the 80's perfectly. I loved the episode when KITT malfunctioned, lost his memory and helped some kid out. Or the one where KITT got destroyed and had to be rebuilt, but couldn't regain his confidence for a while.
The original KITT had a personality and was fun to watch him do awesome stuff to save Micheal.
Now the only purpose the new KITT serves is a mobile office where "Mike" just talks to home base all episode. - MrFurious2k, on 12/04/2008, -3/+17KITT's new voice blew.
- GorfTron, on 12/05/2008, -0/+14The Tick was good.
- TheObviousChild, on 12/05/2008, -0/+14If they remake "Dukes of Hazard" into a new series next, I'll throw my TV away.
Ok, I'll keep my TV. And watch it. But I won't like it! - LilRabbitFooFoo, on 12/05/2008, -0/+13The sad thing is I guarantee you that the network was more excited about a ***** show with a ***** premise like a Knight Rider retread than they were about a fresh new concept by a proven genre master like Whedon's FIREFLY.
So, yeah, the suits can't even tell the ***** from shinola. - TheDude213, on 12/05/2008, -0/+12and nothing of value was lost
- guyincognitoo, on 12/05/2008, -0/+12The trick to watching Cleopatra 2525 was to mute it.
- CoD4, on 12/05/2008, -0/+12i only watched one episode where hoff showed up at the end and claimed to be his father and said sorry for not being around, and then left, hahaha
- KaiUno, on 12/05/2008, -0/+12Or... just make something new and leave Knight Rider where it's supposed to be.
- knut, on 12/05/2008, -1/+13This leaves a spot for Top Gear USA to go into production. Hopefully NBC is smart enough to make that move.
- wynja, on 12/04/2008, -1/+12Thank ***** god. Some shows where never meant to be remade. FFS, stop doing this ***** to us.
- GorfTron, on 12/05/2008, -0/+11Ok, Aliens, then.
- TheDude213, on 12/05/2008, -1/+12oh another clever family guy reference...
- solid12345, on 12/05/2008, -0/+11It needed more cowbell.
- coldkill3r, on 12/05/2008, -3/+14This show sucked ass. I need my firefly back.
- PhoenixAvatar2, on 12/05/2008, -0/+10Don't worry. One episode was enough for them to cancel her.
- MadEnvoy, on 12/05/2008, -1/+11"...***** Angelina Jolie!"
- Scr4tchFury, on 12/05/2008, -0/+10Go watch Cleopatra 2525 on hulu. A trip down memory lane that makes you want to swerve and hit a tree.
http://www.hulu.com/cleopatra-2525 - vtbarrera, on 02/03/2009, -15/+25I personally felt real indifferent about the the new Knight Rider. The acting was horrible. The only thing cool about the show was the car.
- kolop1, on 12/05/2008, -0/+10I stopped watching when the car transformed into a truck.
- grapesofbaath, on 12/05/2008, -5/+15Excellent. Now fire all the writers of Heroes while you are on a roll, NBC.
- ConcernedCanuck, on 12/05/2008, -0/+9I saw this coming since the pilot... It only lasted this long because of the brand recognition -methinks
- adml_shake, on 12/05/2008, -0/+9I didn't mind that they went with a mustang. I didn't mind that Will Arnett had to back out because of his contract with GM. I didn't really even mind that much that in the first episode the car jumped using nothing but it's tail pipes. However where they lost me was when the car, turned into a ***** extended cab F-150, and a even worse god dam Econoline E-series cargo van. And the "Attack" mode looked like *****.
- westyvw, on 12/05/2008, -0/+9I'm intrigued. Elaborate.
- Jambi, on 12/05/2008, -0/+9Yes, with that guy that looks like Billy Corgan's son and is the lead singer of My Chemical Romance as Lucy... they've decided to make it "relevant to today's prime advertising demographic". The role of Ricky is rumored to be going to either Carlos Mencia or Joe Rogan.
- inajeep, on 12/05/2008, -0/+917 shows? I'm surprised it lasted that many. I am happy that I didn't see any of them.
- jazino, on 12/05/2008, -0/+8It is amazing some of the pure crap the broadcasting companies put on television.
Makes me wonder if the selection process involves darts or sex on a leather couch. -
