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.  :)

Gaspar, Melchior and Balthasar kicked me out of the band..... they said I didnt fit the image they were trying to project. 

So I went solo.  -Me

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]

ErkZ NOT in SLO w/ his '95 m900!
The end is in sight! Gotta buckle down and get to work!

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.

Drunken Monkey

I own several motorcycles. I have owned lots of motorcycles. And have bolted and/or modified lots of crap to said motorcycles...

Capo

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.

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:

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]
