I bet that was exactly their goal, too... "let's just make sure we don't suck more than the original". ;D

...they failed. Utter garbage. I turned it off after 15-20 minutes of boredom.

I'm in my post Super Bowl "don't watch crap" phase of TV habit. I watch so much during the NFL season I have trouble going near a TV for much of anything beyond pro wrestling for a couple of months after the Super Bowl.

on the other hand, I think the new one failed completely...
while the lead male has to be good looking...
the original michael knight is a good cop figure who got hit and almost died....
saved by the good guys, and transformed him to be the knight rider...
this new one... I believe... first scene... he was sleeping with 2 girls... and trying to run away owning other ppl $$.... gambling, hustling for $$ at casino.... so much for a good guy.... I can totally see him ebay the car on his 2nd mission....
the car.... SUCKED !!! the old car... has a special dash... monitors... it has gadgets... can analyse things... this and that....
this new one ?? has 2 stupid monitors which does nothing but windows media player waves.... and to make it special... it can morph into other cars ??? add tail wings on the fly ?? what a BS.... come on.... be semi-realistic !!!!
if the car can re-organize matter like that... it might as well can have a replicator on board like a star trek space ship....
yeah... kitt.... beam me out of the basement.....
it really shows that the guys who write the stories.... (could be a temp...) the real one is on strike....
while I think a show like this might not be the hottest idea for nowadays.... but if they twists the story a little... I do believe they can make it a more interesting....
I think this is a REAL LET DOWN...

Oh come on. The car wasn't that bad. It did have cool features, like access to live satelite images to see where cars are on the road; access to live security camera feeds so it could find Mike. It could open doors, it could spot where the criminals were in the casino. It could sense the health of the occupants (even though it still asked if they were doing fine). It could repair itself. Change it's appearance. It even was super eco friendly 8)
I do have to say that the on board navigation really sucked. Even when the car was standing still it would show the terrain moving past ::)
I liked the fast driving scenes where you could tell that they were simply speeding up the footage. It has to be like that. The old show had that too.
The old show was crappy yet hugely successful. They tried to replicate that and they at least were able to replicate the "crappyness" of the original. Obviously not the success, but who knows.
I wonder what their target audience was for this show. The old show was for kids. If a couple of late thirty / early forty year old geeks would have looked at that old show I doubt they would have had much good to say.
I went into looking at the show with a very low expectation and so I wasn't surprised badly. It's not a show I would think I'd watch again, but still.
BTW how is sleeping with 2 girls something that is wrong? The girls obviously didn't have a problem with it.
