Some of the reviews on here are crazy. This series was good. i love the original and i love when the brought it back. keep your mind open people. Everything does not have to be just like the original. If it was then why remake it anyway? I hate the series ended so soon. it was nice to see KIT back in action. Good TV. But everyone only want to see stupid reality shows that is not reality at all. Fighting and cursing. Just my opinion but lets keep an open mind. Knight rider was a classic but this remake was good for TV. To bad the rest of you don't think the same but hey lest's watch flavor of love now thats TV. LOL. Peace out Bitches.

After reading the reviews on the the new Knight rider i can't believe that people still can't except change the still want to dwell in the past.Firstly If we still want to see "the Hoff" in a TV show man we got to wake up there are younger and prettier actors and if we don't give them a chance David will be dead one day and there will be no more new actors to do the acting because we didn't give the new one's a chance. I personal think the new actors are supp.Then there is KITT i think they should have change to "Ford" a long time a go because it is a much better car than a Pontiac or any CAR GM can and will produce,don't get me wrong a gm car can work for some people but a FORD is a much better car Point.And now I come to the voice of the new KITT most people wants to talk about I THINK VAL DOES AN ECCELLENT JOB because the new KITT is macho and since tech. has improved it sounds much better than the old TIN voice the old kit used to have.Don't get me wrong as a kid I used to like the "old Knight Rider" but that is what it is OLD.Times chance and the old tech has improved so I say wake up people the new Series is way better and more high tech. I say hey bring more of the New Knight Rider.

First point - Everyone winging about KITT. As a few have pointed out the original KITT was a Black Trans Am, now yes in the 80's they were cool cars and in fact they still are. I watched the original series when I was a little boy and loved it. I'm 34 now!. Remember folks the Black Trans Am was actually Micheal Longs own car as far as I remember, not FLAG's car. When Michel Long was rescued after being shot the chip/computer/gadget that was actually KITT was placed in the said car. This time round Bruce Davidsons character built the chip from scratch and needed a random car. He updated it to a more modern worthy one. Val Kilmer makes an excellent voice for KITT,perhaps the original voice-over couldn't do it this time, who knows? Also there has only been one season, so KITT is still developing much like the old KITT that developed over a couple of seasons personality wise and gadget wise. (Remember Super Pursuit Mode) KITT's transformations gave the whole series other options for different plots, and in one episode I forget which one, Mike says to KITT "Make it quick as we don't want cellphone footage of you transforming on YouTube" It was said quickly but very cleverly as that is just the kind of thing that would be up on YouTube if it were possible and could be a big worry for an organisation such as FLAG. Yes there is product placement there, deal with it! Ford are if not the biggest certainly one of the biggest vehicle makers in the world, there reputation proceeds them, it makes perfect sense for KITT to be a Ford, also as the operation is covert surly it's better to use a Ford than a Ferrarri. I think the whole transformation program is cool. It's SUPPOSED to be cool, and it is. Nanotechnology is not new, Star Trek were using nanotechnology with the BORG in TNG (1988 onwards), DS9 and Voyager. Whilst it may not be possible as far as we know, who says there isn't some sort of technology like that out there. Nanotechnology makes the Transformation program possible in KR08 and why not use it? KITT couldn't transform without it. It's far fetched but its SUPPOSED to be.Remember the original series Knightrider episode where Micheal worked closely with Devon and "Stole" KITT? He ended up crashing through a wall of four-six feet of reinforced concrete. Thats impossible but things such as that are what made Knightrider Knightrider. Turbo boosting against a full flood drain in another episode was another example of this, that much water must have weighed Tons but KITT did it and blasted through the tunnel roof as an afterthought! Impossible but possible COOL! If it wasn't absurdly far fetched it wouldn't be Knightrider.Second Point - Characters.The characters in the series work well together as in humour, body language and emotional response. The Knight of the Living Dead episode showed this in the fact that people were unsure about what was a Halloween prank and what wasn't, until the body turned up, as they were all getting to know each other and work with each other. The much needed humour was there throughout the entire series as well and captured the spirit of the original interaction between characters. The geek felt uncomfortable outside the SSC, but the Asian girl couldn't WAIT to get into the field. Sarah and Mike have something for each other but certain situations throughout the season (Sarahs fathers death)caused a couldn't care less attitude, (the episode where Mike and the female MI6 agent worked together and had to disrobe to keep warm) caused jealousy, (the truth serum episode where Mike was injected to get the job done) caused potential love between Mike and Sarah, and so on. Brilliant characters reacting to situations that normal folk like you and me could never experience.Point three - Plot lines OK admit idly some of the plot lines in the early episodes were repetitive (the usual go out and retrieve this new technology for the US government). Think about it however if ANY government had access to this technology of COURSE they would use it to further there own ends. Especially the US government, there renowned for it, and by the way I don't mean to insult any Americans by saying that so please don't take offence. Weapons etc are always going missing, and they need retrieving. Over here in the UK the MOD has lost laptops with classified information on and all sorts. There's so much conspiracy in the world money exchanging hands etc, it's bound to happen and it DOES happen. So whilst being a bit repetitive it still made for some interesting plot lines.The only plot line that I found a bit TOO unbelievable was how easily Mike got into Area51 to rescue KITT and escaped to take on KARR. Not the taking on KARR bit but the escape from Area51. Anyone trying to get into ANY military installation in the US to get there hands on classified technology no matter what were reasons were or are would be killed immediately in the "Intrests Of National Security". The X-files made that clear. It did however make for an interesting episode with a nice surprise as KARR turned out to be a robot, which in the fact that he wasn't a Trans Am anymore actually fitted him better, as KARR if i remember rightly stands for Knight Automated Rolling Robot.Point four - Overview As a few have pointed out the later episodes after the demise of KARR and the "official shutdown" of the SSC by the NSA got a lot more to the original plot of Knightrider. The new team worked closely together, more bonds were formed and even the Geek got his confidence back. This series was truly unique.Thanks for reading.

New Knight Rider is no worse than old Knight Rider - but it could have been BETTER. Having got rid of Bruce Davison, the HQ feels EMPTY. And while I approve of losing Big Brother, the new, sleek, downsized team seems a bit lost.The premise is ludicrous of course - an operation like KITT would cost serious money - and full of holes - what is the PURPOSE of the giant hanger? (Presumably it's an old airship hanger - it LOOKS great, but we haven't seen it USED in ANY way).But the MAIN failing is the WRITING. ALL TV shows that want to truly entertain, need WRITING - even lightweight "fun" dramas. America has produced PLENTY of shows where the premise was absurd, but the attention was drawn by superior DIALOGUE. Even low-brow series can entertain if the WORDS are there.And there IS still POTENTIAL here. Val Kilmer hits the right note, Smith Cho is Gorgeous and even the guys have their moments. The SFX is superior and while the product placement is a little invasive, it PAYS for the damn thing - deal with it!So get NEW WRITERS - and have them write BRUCE back in. I know he's dead, but if Bobby can wake up in the shower...
