Title: The new version of KITT has been revaled....

For those who don't want to click the link: It's a Ford Mustang GT500KR.  I'm sorry, but you can't do KITT as a Ford, as mch as I may like the new Mustangs.  I'll always know him as the '82 Trans-Am.

It's still a huge improvement over this piece of ****:

That movie hurt me.

Hopefully, like most of the sequels (or remixes) out nowadays, this one won't suck. (having a mustang helps).

You probably were.  The movie, as I said above, hurt like hell. 

I can't honestly say i'm excited about a new Knight Rider series.  I loved the series as a kid, and I still do like it (Even if the writing sucked out loud at times.), but I can't see this being pulled off well.

They will try to take themselves seriously, and therefore ruin it utterly, in my opinion.

You do realise that this means within 2 years we can expect to see the A-Team's children running around, probably teaming up with Automan XP Professional and Airwolf 2...

Have faith..If Transformers could be made into a good flick, so can this!

Except Transformers sucked to anyone who wasn't geeking out over the fact that there were digitized Transformers on the screen.

Transformers was pretty good, as these things go.

I just watched it for the CG stuff. And the girl.

No complaints on either of those grounds.

Did anyone ever watch Team Knight Rider? IMHO, it was pretty good, but I was ten when I watched it so... (I have rewatched it, and found the dialog to be very similar to the original Knight Rider, but the CG stuff was pretty cool).

I guess a similar show would be Viper, did anyone watch that as well?

Back when it was on, around the same time that Seaquest DSV was.

SeaQuest was ****ing win. Used to watch it all the time. Of course, it's utter tosh now, but it was really, really entertaining back when I was younger.

Heh I've got the SeaQuest game for the original GameBoy.

I used to watch all these shows mentioned... that was decent programing
back in the day compared to the large majority of junk on the tube today.

Two notable exceptions:

1. Firefly

2. House M.D.

1. Firefly

I'd like Firefly if it wasn't for some of the most absolutely obnoxious fanboys ever, to the point where they made some of the really hardcore Fivers look totally sane by comparison.  (And Babylon 5 had some really annoying fanboys back In the Day)  and I did get rather tired of being told that OMFG BEST SHOW EVER!!!1, when, honestly, I vastly prefer NeoBattlestar Galactica.

2. House M.D.

I actually agree.  House is actually awesome.

1. Do fanboys really bother you that badly? I don't care what other people think, Firefly is [removed for Tyrant's sake] great. Just because a lot of people fawn over it I don't start disliking it.

2. Actually? Actually? :p
