Knight Rider, the new one Options

[96bluevert]

I'm curious as to what everyone elses' opinion on the new Knight Rider was after premiering earlier tonight.

imo, it was kind of dissapointing (not that I had high expectations to begin with). The story is just alright, too slow moving for my taste. The new KITT has already been discussed, so I wont go into that. At least they only had a slightly modified version of the theme song and not some chopped up crap. But what was with him backing out of a plane and the car all of a sudden changing? I mean is that supposed to be the new "pursuit" mode? I much rather watch reruns of the original than the new stuff. Might be because I grew up with and am a lot more used to the original, but the new one just doesn't live up the the name.

For those of you who have already seen it, what's your guys' takes on it?

There is a reason why 60s 70s 80s 90s tv shows belong to that era and should not be broadcast.. err remade.

back when macgyver was macgyver and hasslehoff was hasslehoff those shows made sence. They had a futuristic feel and background meaning to them. Now with our advances to technology there is no reason to make things simpler. People do not want to see it. People also do not want to see things that go overboard thats why you can find every single star trek spinoff not succeed in the long run because its too futuristic and been mentioned in like 90 movies.

back to hoff

dont hassle the hoff darn it.. let him retire and more importantly let kitt retire. in todays world filled with gps and onstar and blue tooth and voice command controls there is no reason to reinvent the wheel.
