Title: Decisions made by a monkey....Knight Rider
Post by: Monster Dave on October 21, 2008, 02:54:08 PM
Bad news I'm afraid for all those who hoped and prayed that NBC would put the new Knight Rider out of it's sorry miserable pathetic excuse of an existence out to pasture; the decision makers there actually thought that the show was "good" and would be profitable as well as honoring the origional Knight Rider....so they decided to take a train wreck of a show and fund it for a FULL SEASON...

...does no one over at NBC read what critics think or say? I made the mistake of watching the pilot episode, realized 5 minutes into it that it was aweful but couldn't bring myself to turn it off - I had serious hope that it would get better.  [bang] ...it didn't

...makes me think that multi-million dollar decisions really aren't made by smart people anymore, but rather a monkey....


seriously ???

Well....I wouldn't mind having the Shelby, less the hideous add-ons.  :)

At least you got to see the hot girl in her underwear. Hopefully you did what I did and turned off the sound.  [roll] I started playing games on my comp w/ the tv running in the background w/ sound off and only watched the clips w/ the girl in her panties.  ;D

BTW, that's not even the best (read worst) pic! The Mustang turns into an EXPLORER!  :o [puke] [bang]

Also, that pic makes it look like the stang has 2 spoilers...  ??? Did it really have 2 spoilers? I wasn't close enough attention to notice.  [roll]

But the ATTACK MODE complete with '80's style centerline autodrag wheels protruding from the rear quarters, fuelie airscoop and more wings than a squadron of F-18's is soooo sweet!

I refuse to watch reality shows with regular people or remakes of shows from TV's past history.

So, basically, I watch a few shows, some sports and read.

TV these days suck.

Sheeeet, form the subject of this thread I thought that all along it was a monkey under the hood controling the car.  ;D

The entire show is just a marketing ad for Ford - even the commercial breaks are accompanied by the Knight Rider themed Ford Focus ads.

Does Kitt turn into a Focus long trip for gas savings? ;D

I wonder if anyone realizes that they stole the whole morphing idea from the TV show Viper:

Sadly here's what Turbo Boost has evolved into:

You guys know KR is the coolest shit ever.

knock it off with all the bad mouthing >:(

[laugh] ;D

I think the Shelby is damn cool, but when it becomes a Transformer it looks like a Japanese anime guy got a hold of  it.  [puke]

Viper did indeed kick ass- I even had the remote control car from that show when I was little.

BTW, in that video for the new KITT's turbo boost, did anyone else see the part where the Millennium Falcon flies into the Death Star and blows it up?  I know I did.

Yeah, I just watched it and thought the same thing. There should have been some TIE fighters blowing up in there or something.

AND that is the ugliest Mustang I have ever seen when it transforms or whatever it does...

No cause if it were transformers it might be kinda cool. Although I wasn't entirely fond of the transformers movie for the same reasons as KR. Hot girl though... same as KR... Hmmm.. I see a pattern... and neither were done by Japanese  [roll]. There's the pattern, Americans trying to copy the Japanese! Everyone knows the Japanese are the only ones that are good at copying something and making it equal or better.  [cheeky]
