Knight Rider TV Movie, based on the iconic 1980's hit television series To Air Sunday February 17th 9/8c.

This looks like it could be cool, we'll see ;)

They had to get Val Kilmer to come in and redo the voice of KITT because the guy they had in the roll first does some adverts for general motors. It's not so much a movie either as a back-door pilot for a new show, I hope it's not shit.

@uncertaingod

I'm curious why did you feel the need to use an expletive? when you could have said either

I hope it's not rubbish.

or

I hope it'll be a good show.

back to retro hit dramas, really a good thing to bring back those memories when it hit malaysian TV last time, having effects towards our lives alot, we talk about the dramas after showing, well do ya think that it can be downloaded here?? i hope so...
i'm watching the older version one :)

@NIP

Whilst that's happening was there ever one
about the 'Dukes of hazard'?

OMFG!!! This pilot suck so much ass.
Please, please for the love of all that is holy relative to television, please stop giving away crack cocaine, laced with LSD and mixed with Vodka for breakfast to these producers who honestly believe that screenwriting and acting this bad is even airable.

AS I a have always said remakes are chyt 90% of the time I am downloading it but sebmcc seems to have summed it up are we sure its not Canadian

meh, I thought it was ok. If the show got picked up I'd give it a chance.

Nagila Cap'n

I thought the remake of Battlestar Galactica was very good. I presume it must be one of the 10%. :)-

Nagila Quark absolutely it falls in the 10% range lol

cheers

I hope they don't blame this on the writers strike.
I am sure there are some screenwriters fresh out of film school that could have done more intelligent work than this.

I say this will last maybe one more episode. Assuming NBC gets off the pipe.

I actually enjoyed it. I thought they did a good job and am looking forward to seeing what they do with it.

"the hoff"...eewww...wow he looked bad..but it worked...

and the car rocked!

val kilmer's voice kept making laugh...

sebmcc check you facts before giving opinions it was a tv movie and doesn't have any more episodes.

Dear UncertainGod,

Perhaps you should calm down.

This site called it a "Pilot", therefore I assumed there was potentially more agony to come.

And unless you work for NBC, (which I assume don't)and in a positon to schedule (which I know you are not)then you sir do not have a clue whether or not they will be showing more of this crap in the near future.

Regards,

The guy who just told you to get a life

according to ign.com

This new version of the 80s series will debut with a TV Movie pilot. If that is successful, a weekly series will launch that will follow the TV movie.

has some info too..

don't fight boys...it just a show.

I agree with Nakara11,

The show has some potential.

@sebmcc

Please perhaps you should also calm down.

I agree with you it was utter 'rubbish' which deserves to be in a 'trash' can. Both far better words than c..p
Whilst you covered it reasonably well please do not make personal attacks on fellow members who are entitled to their opinion or to put you right even if they are actually mistaken.
As you see Nakara11 has done the right thing and quoted proper sources to give the correct info.

@nakara11 Many thanks for the info and link.

Just watching the closing moments on it now. Bear in mind I was just watching last of season 5 of Spooks and so might be FOS.

Too dodgy to be a real movie, better than the original, probably too expensive to make as a series. Still I would like to see the real-world reaction of someone who is dragging the Hasslehoff (sp) baggage. I mean, I kinda liked the show when it was originally on at that point in my life but like so many things, when viewed with older eyes you shake your head and weep that you every spent a minute watching. I am not saying Knightrider was lame; all of the shows of that era had a lameness that was the same and hard to get specific with; not to sound grim, ppl died in shows in the 60s, 70's but the 80s was so centered on happy endings that serious dramas of the period usually were not. That is the thing with 24 and Spooks: NOBODY is safe, anyone can die at any time. It makes you take each crisis a little more seriously. Sorry I digressed...what was the question again? Had this problem in high school too.

WHoops, guess that wasn't the end, better go watch. Who knows, maybe it will redeem itself.

W~~~

Ok Moderator,

Or should I call you the FCC.:)

Your intervention was unnecessary (because no hurtful comments were made, just some healthy back and forth)and your sensitivity to the word CRAP is kinda bizarre.

So if this is the level of censorship that is in place here, i doubt this user name will be allowed on this site anymore for talking back and giving you some sass.

So much for free expression.

Take care everyone, I'm off to sensitivity training :)

What a freak.

@sebmcc

I have to respond as I see things and prior to my post you had TWO out of order posts. I let the first ride but had to intervene when you started insulting a fellow member.

You have the right to free expression and I would be the first to defend that.

BUT not when you use that right to insult another member or to use language which may be offensive to others and that word is offensive to some.
Remember what is OK in some countries is not in others.

So with that in mind please stay and continue to give us the benefit of your insights. OK?

what are the FCC? and i didn't know this had been remade as a new movie, surely computerised talking cars nowadays aren't as amazingly 'out there' as they were when this show first aired.

@windsorboyd

I assume sebmcc takes FCC to mean Ferengi Chamber of Commerce. There is no such body he probably meant
the Ferengi Commerce Authority.

Now back to the thread everyone. Thanks.

Well I still liked it....FCC...FCA...and the like aside..lol

Nah..@windsorboyd still fasinates me..those talking cars...

@windsorboy F.C.C. = CRTC in this godforsaken country

cheers

PS Long Live the Queen

i was looking forward to this series because i watched it when i was younger. however, it did disappoint me a lot. i cant believe watching the most lame acting ever. thank god kit(car) was so cool if not then this would definitely flop. i wish they could do more acting workshops and also wish that the director will see what i saw. the funny part of the show is the way people hold their guns in pursuit of their enemies. so lame. lol. if you guys dont get what im ranting about you better watch it and see for yourselves.

Impossible to run quickly when holding a gun in both hands is that it?

Or is it
Impossible to run quickly when holding a gun outstretched.

@jassie....ummm..were you trying to tell us the original Knight Rider series had Good acting??? Just asking...lol

Kight Rider has been picked up as a series.

Update here plus other new ABC series:

OMFG

W~~~

They need to change some things around before it airs but in a way I'm quite happy.

Though that networks whole strategy for next season seems to be make as much original content as humanly possible so that it is easy to replace if it bombs.

so they did pick it up...wow...was not sure if they were or if it was worth it...i did like the movie..just not sure if it was enough to warrant an actual series from..oh well..i will be sure to check it out either way.

Did anyone watch 01x01 is it the same as the pilot episode,I would like to know so I don't have to download both if its the same program.

It's the first new episode since there wasn't a pilot but a tv film setting the premise for the show.

Cheers...I've just downloaded both,should be interesting.

I finally got the chance to watch this,first impressions...not to bad at all,I'll keep watching for this season to see how it progresses :-}

NBC have ordered a full season of 22 episodes for this show, apparently the critics have shown no mercy reviewing this show but the ratings have been good,so...power to the people!

Theres nothing wrong with a cheese-fest every now and then, at least it's better than most of those "serious" shows that do nothing but spout bullshit.

No argument here,This has been a good fill in for me this weekend with no Stargate or Sanctuary.
