    knight rider is most enjoyable show in a long time

    what more could you ask for. its got a gorgeous good looking sexy cast and a gorgeous good looking sexy car. storyline is lighthearted and not meant to be taken serious. i mean how much further can you take the storyline of a crimefighting team and a super-car. car and man get mission to stop bad guy and man and car go out and stop bad guy. its got action, jokes, humour and i even had a tear in my eye at some points. cast are great and all gel really well. the original show was good and now they have just updated it and made it better. just don't take the show too serious, sit down, relax and just enjoy the show. i hope there is a 2nd season as it deserves one

    Please bring it back!

    I used to watch the old Knight Rider back in the 80's. I am 46 now. When I saw the new series "Knight Rider 2008" I was really happy so I watched it. I love the action, the car is OK, I got used to it. It's still a nice vehicle. And all the things it can do, I was impressed with the new stuff. Please guys, don't stick to the old concept, we are in the new century, we've got to have new stuff. Science fiction is part of the process to create things in the future. Some of them already exist.

    I really enjoyed the show and I'd give it a 10. It's great for the whole family and full of action, a bit of fun, romance sparkling there, with some gorgeous girls. I think it's got something for everyone. I just don't understand why people judge so quickly and bring down the show. It really was getting better and better. It needed to create momentum. And when it was getting more addictive, someone decided to cancel. Come on producers, give it a chance again! You have no idea how that show is so liked in other countries.

    I hope one day, somebody retake it again and bring it up to the next level. Knight Rider could continue with some little improvements, and make it just like the show 24, full of action that way. But keep the same actors and characters. Bring back the good ones too. Knight Rider is just like Superman, Batman and the sort, it is a legacy that can continue on forever.

    I miss the show. They didn't give it a chance to grow.

    Shame It Was Cancelled

    I actually didn't much like the first half of the show. Having watched the original 1982 series, I immersed myself in the dynamic between Michael and KITT as they solved the cases, and only just in the last few episodes did I feel that same magic happen between Mike and KI3T. There were still plenty of moments I enjoyed, and the other side characters are all great. It was just starting to get good, and it goes and gets cancelled without even a second season. Such a shame. It's a worthy watch, if a little over the top as far as the showy tech and special effects go.

    I've seen a lot of hate on this show, and honestly a lot of it is just people going "not muh" and touting the 1982 series as so much better. You know why the original seemed so much better? Characters were given room to grow, and that takes a lot of production. Knight Rider 2008 had just barely begun tapping into that potential, so of course to many it's going to fall short. This is a suitable sequel series to the original, I'm just sad it had gotten cancelled after 17 episodes.

    What went wrong..

    So if you liked the Old Knight Rider..When it was first proposed to Universal Studios They had the Pilot and 2 episodes..Universal denied the series due to the cost of the New 3rd Generation Firebirds..Just before they Cancelled it ..There was a Horrible Train accident in the General Motors Train yard in Van Nuys CA..Over 200 new Firebirds were Damaged..Last minute Universal Studios bought the cars and Knight Rider went on for 6 seasons..I'm guessing the new Knight Rider series went thru the same problem..Mainly going thru the Recession I know Ford Motor Corp.helped out..Doing a Motion Picture is a one time Vehicle Expense..When you have a TV series that is based on Cars ..it gets CRAZY Expensive...insurance/ stunt drivers/ permits..etc..Too Bad i really liked the New Series..

    • Trivia
      Will Arnett was originally cast as the voice of K.I.T.T., and recorded his role for the pilot episode. NBC fired him 2 weeks before the pilot aired, after Ford Motor Co. informed NBC that Arnett was the voice of GMC truck commercials. Val Kilmer was cast at the last minute.
