New Knight Rider

[namredips]

Ok so I just watched the first episode of the new Knight Rider. I had watched the movie earlier this spring, and was kinda so so... Not that impressed, but was willing to give it a go when I am bored...

So WTF!! I mean really this episode sucked bad! The acting was totally not believable. The story was choppy and thrown together. Did I say the acting sucked!! Except for the one dude who played billy, he wasn't bad actually. I am still trying to place in min another show, but I just can't for the life of me figure out where I have seen him before. Anyhow, KITT kinda sucked but Val seemed to attempt the sucking. In fact I think the damn car acted better than the two main actors, at least from a "suck me into the story" perspective. But COME ON!! KITT goes from a damn shelby cobra to an pickup truck... WHAT? It wasn't even necessary to the story. Its like someone said, he cool look what I can do... and everyone said... oooohhh lets put that it in, thats good shit.

And I have never seen the "Corrupt people in charge" thing so over done. I mean really...

OH I just remember where I have seen billy from, BSG Roslyn's adviser until he dies...

How could it not suck?

How could it not suck?

If it was 1997?

If it was 1997?

...but made in 1988, portraying 1997 ???

All I've seen was a commercial for it . . . and I found myself sitting there in complete silence, slowly shaking my head with brows raised . . . and remained that way into the next commercial, transfixed at the absolute failure of what I saw . . . and all of a sudden I've reverted back to the wrinkled brow and head shake as I type this . . .

This show will be the car crash I CAN turn away from . . .

Taozoo and myself waiting for the stan lee interview deal at comic con, an we waited in the room for awhile an this was on before Stan Lee, so we watched what they showed us an I found it pretty cool but im guessing the whole Being at comic con an the actors being 3 feet in front of me kinda made me enjoy it more.

I have yet to watch anything on TV but i did promise myself id give it a try sooner or later

The best thing about the new Knight Rider: Deanna Russo looked hot.

The worst thing about the new Knight Rider: pretty much everything else.

Smallville?

No.

Wife and I watched 4 seasons waiting for it to finally get better... didn't happen. I loooove cheesy stuff... I hate cheesy stuff that takes itself too seriously. Smallvile does. Eck. But to each their own.

Wow I made it 10 min before giving up.
This is a bad show made in the mid 90's.
Overuse of bad CG and generic rock music for the theme oh even the writing is from bad campy 90's shows hell even the cinematography is mid 90's.
This is less Knight Rider and more Viper.

How did they get this greenlit for TV?

The same reason Firefly was cancelled.

It looks like Knight Rider swept the Emmy's last night ...

Wait. No it didn't.
