| Synopsis:
On the heels of NBC's hit movie, the iconic 1980s television classic comes roaring back to life as a reinvented, updated and super-charged action series showcasing the new KITT (Knight Industries Three Thousand). Absolutely the coolest car ever created, KITT is equipped with an "AI" (artificial intelligence) that is capable of hacking almost any system. Its weapons systems match that of a jet fighter, and its body is capable of actually transforming into other vehicles and using sophisticated holographic imagery to elude villains. "Knight Rider" stars Justin Bruening ("Cold Case"), Deanna Russo ("NCIS"), Sydney Tamiia Poitier ("Veronica Mars"), Bruce Davison ("Breach"), Yancey Arias ("Kingpin") and Paul Campbell ("Battlestar Galactica"). David Bartis ("Heist," "The O.C."), Doug Liman ("Mr. and Mrs. Smith," "The Bourne Identity") and Gary Scott Thompson ("Las Vegas," "The Fast and The Furious") are executive producers. Based on characters created by Glen Larson, "Knight Rider" is from Universal Media Studios and Dutch Oven Productions. |

 A train wreck in progress.... September 20, 2008

It is hard to know where to start, saying the writing was bad just doesn't do this piece of tripe justice. The plot devices are incredibly dumb. At one point the car is one fire and both leads "just have to" take off their clothes to stay cool. Then Oxygen is at 58% and they are supposedly running out(room air is 20%). This stuff is definitely to the lowest level IQ. The CGI however is spectacular, KITT looks great and they have a good voice for him. But I can not honestly say that the special effects make up for such a poorly written script.

Wow, this is bad. The only audience I could possibly see enjoying this would be boys around the age of 6. The acting is bad and it looks like it was filmed exclusively for a youtube audience. The acting is bad, the sets are cheap, and the transformation of the car was cool until it flew(this was terrible).

I have a lot of tolerance for TV. I'll watch a good bit of almost anything. Especially if it has a sci-fi slant to it. However I have to say that this first episode of Knight Rider is some of the worst TV I have ever witnessed. My wife (Who has similar tolerances to TV that I do) and I agreed a few minutes into the episode that we couldn't bear to watch it anymore.
The production quality appears to have dropped from the pilot. Parts of the premier appear to have been filmed backstage (Literally, at one point they walk by a door that has Star Trek font lettering on it). The dialogue the acting, even the short bit of plot we managed to suffer through were all miserable.
Do not watch this. It is time you will never get back, and your life will be worse having watched.

I thought the show was decent and it does have alot of promise. Of course, I felt the same way after the first episode of last years Bionic Woman and then the show went downhill quickly. Hopefully, they have learned from that mistake and will Knight Rider in a new direction. I do like the action and the behind the scenes intrigue of the first episode.

I liked it, It still has the feel of the old show, with some modern day technology
