da da da da!

that’s right folks, the knight rider pilot was on tv over the weekend and we got to see what all the hubbub was all about. i don’t think that i’ve ever seen a two hour long ford commercial before, but wow, it really felt like that’s what it was.

i really, really wanted to love the show. i looooooooved the show back in the 80s and i could see myself getting all nostalgic. it wasn’t awful, but it just could have been so much better on so many levels. KITT was cool, but could have been cooler. mike was…kind of a putz.

and his friend…what is his loser friend’s name? i don’t even remember, but he looks like he’s going to be a mechanic or something. man, that side kick has got to go. he adds no value to the show…except for hostage potential. actually, it should be a running gag that he’s always held hostage. that would almost be funny.

oh well, i had such high expectations for knight rider. hopefully when the rest of the season is picked up and written in it’ll be cooler.

though KITT does look cool, does anyone else have a problem with the fact that he’s a mustang? and i hate, hate, hate the revised red stripes on the front. go back to the one cylon-esque stripe!
