I thought it was terrible. A good drinking game could be made out of the cliffhangers. If you are unable to successfully guess what happens after the commercials, drink.
“Oh no! The key is turning in the lock! They’re going to get caught! I wonder what will happen when the door to their hotel room opens?”
I believe it is being shown again this coming Saturday night.
I taped it, haven’t watched it yet but… it’s a TV show?
I thought it was a movie!
It’s a backdoor pilot. Which means NBC hasn’t announced whether it will be picked up as a series. If it doesn’t become a series, it still has served a purpose as a stand-alone movie in that advertisers, particularly Ford, have paid for the commercial time to air it.
Cool. I’ll have to set the recorder.
Word… which isn’t saying much. I only watched it here and there, but overall, I prefer this.
Warning: This is a quicktime link - that made my browser crash.
Interesting, never heard of that before.
Oh! I thought it was a real pilot. Bummer.
p.s. to cochrane: I finally “got” your location! :smack:
And no men left on base. 
Well. That was… not worth watching any more of.
Except at the end when the bad guys drove off in a GMC.
The original was essentially a GM commercial.
It was okay. I didn’t like Mike Traceur for about five minutes, then decided I like him.
I couldn’t care less what make of vehicle KITT is, I’m not into cars much.
If you held me down and tickled me until I chose, I’d keep watching Bionic Woman, and hope it gets better.
I don’t see how Knight Rider can get better, although a good start would be to give KITT his own show and ditch the humans.
Of course, if it becomes a regular show, I’ll watch the damn thing. I know I will.
We need more David Hasselhoff. Presumably Mike is taking his father’s place, and Michael Knight is finally enjoying a comfortable retirement. So it would be nice to see the Hoff as a recurring guest star.
What are you, German?
Actually, it might be fun if the reason the Hoffmeister abandoned his son was because he’s still got a KITT and has been off doing cool stuff with which he’ll now need his son’s help.
Three things I noticed:
“I have to pee.” I wondered if they were gonna say that…but then she gets out and just stands there and talks to him while he does it? Pointless and kinda odd.
When he’s fighting the good in the casino after they meet, he kicks the guy in the balls, yet the good can just stumble for a few minutes and then run after them? They must not know where the groin is in Army Ranger School.
They’re looking at the motel where Old Guy is staying. I’d swear the branches move (just like if someone said “Hey they’re in the way of the shot”), and it made me giggle. I may well be wrong.
Val Kilmer, how low you have fallen…
I was all excited to hear the updated theme song, and they ended up butchering it. It’s like they mashed up the original Knight Rider theme with “America, Fuck Yeah”. The show even sounds like a Ford commercial.
Speaking of which: were my eyes deceiving me, or did the Ford logo disappear from the bad guys’ SUV as soon as they started shooting people?
(pssssst - He was great in the Lonesome Dove thing.)
When compared to the new guy, Hasselhoff’s acting is Oscar caliber.
