On that note did anyone catch the new Knight Rider? I tuned in out of nostalgia's sake. The original Knight Rider was one of my favorite shows when I was a kid. I've since tuned into the re-runs and thought: "What was I thinking?" The Hoff deffinately deserves his Cheesiness rating. Over the years I've tuned into the various reincarnations of Knight Rider and have not been impressed (Knight Rider 2000 or Team Knight Rider anyone?) Needless to say I didn't tune into this version with a whole lot of expectations.
So I was astounded when the show didn't totally suck rocks! I don't think it's going to win any awards for best drama anytime soon. Nor do I think that I would tune in every week. But it wasn't that bad. As a bonus, the new KITT is a a black 550 HP Ford Shelby GT500KR Mustang. Not bad, and definately an improvement over the old Firebird. Also, as a last minute replacement, they used Val Kilmer as the voice of KITT. He did a pretty good job.

saw the last 45 minutes or so. Including "the Hoff's" cameo. Not so sure about it. Definitely prefer the car, though. Harmony was not impressed
it's on again sat at 8 if you want to see all of it.
Jer also was not impressed. if turns into a series I hope that it is more then just a ford commercial and that they spend time developing the characters not just the car.
The car showed more emotion then most of the people in the show.
I also liked Knight Rider as a kid (although The Quest that came on after it was better). I'm sure if I saw reruns I would cringe. I hoped there'd be something to this new one, but the acting was pretty mediocre and the storyline didn't do much for me either.
