Both acting and effects have improved somewhat but there is still room for improvement. Acting and special effects in the first half of the season were simply awful. Some fans like this, but many have voiced their dislike of this new feature for KITT. Not only is this distracting, it is such an obvious product placement as to make the show less entertaining. Since the producers have a deal with Ford, the new KITT now morphs into various other Ford vehicles, transformer-style. In retrospect, maybe using the Chevy Volt concept car as the new KITT could have been a possibility. I didn't mind using a Mustang as the new KITT and have grown to accept it. I suppose using the new Chevy Camaro would have been one possibility, but since that model was heavily linked to the Transformers movie, it would have been a poor choice as well. Many fans wanted another Trans-Am KITT, but since that model has been out-of-production for years, that just was not possible. But in trying to please everyone, they pleased very few. (SPOILER - Mike Traceur/Knight is the son of the original Michael Knight.) The new series tried to reinvent the original series while making references to the original. It tried to connect with the original series by including David Hasselhoff in a very brief cameo at the very end. But the 2-hour pilot movie was poorly paced - like a stretched-out 1-hour episode. They didn't give it a chance to grow.Īs a viewer of the original series, I was initially glad when NBC announced that Knight Rider was coming back to the small screen. Knight Rider is just like Superman, Batman and the sort, it is a legacy that can continue on forever. Knight Rider could continue with some little improvements, and make it just like the show 24, full of action that way. I hope one day, somebody retake it again and bring it up to the next level. Come on producers, give it a chance again! You have no idea how that show is so liked in other countries. And when it was getting more addictive, someone decided to cancel. I just don't understand why people judge so quickly and bring down the show. It's great for the whole family and full of action, a bit of fun, romance sparkling there, with some gorgeous girls. I really enjoyed the show and I'd give it a 10. Science fiction is part of the process to create things in the future. Please guys, don't stick to the old concept, we are in the new century, we've got to have new stuff. And all the things it can do, I was impressed with the new stuff. I love the action, the car is OK, I got used to it. When I saw the new series "Knight Rider 2008" I was really happy so I watched it. I used to watch the old Knight Rider back in the 80's.
