rvbfan Posted February 17, 2008 Share Posted February 17, 2008 Hey guys, the original Knight Rider featured a Dodge Viper right? I remember watching a show with a silver viper but I could never figure out the name...i'm looking forward to watching this tonight :D It was actually a Pontiac Trans Am.

Piggy Posted February 17, 2008 Share Posted February 17, 2008 I'm watching it now. So far in the first 24 minutes or so.. a couple of cheesy lines, but pretty nice over all. I'll finish watching it. :D Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/590725-official-nbc-knight-rider/page/3/#findComment-589214513 Share on other sites More sharing options...

NightmarE D Posted February 18, 2008 Share Posted February 18, 2008 It turned out better than I thought. I'm still not sure I like the Mustang for the new car though. In the start of it, when the guys are walking through the garage of the house, did anyone catch the original KI.T.T. sitting there? You could see a hood from the original car on the wall, but when it showed the garage from a birds-eye view you could make out the original car sitting there in the shadows. You could see the hood and the black hubcaps. Only part I hated was that it seemed like it went to commercial every 5 minutes.

sn00pie Posted February 18, 2008 Share Posted February 18, 2008 It was actually a Pontiac Trans Am. never mind i'm thinking of the TV show called VIPER hahah http://www.retrojunk.com/details_tvshows/500-viper/ Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/590725-official-nbc-knight-rider/page/3/#findComment-589214940 Share on other sites More sharing options...
episode Posted February 18, 2008 Share Posted February 18, 2008 Surprisingly wasn't awful. If it was a pilot for a show, I would watch it. I guess it kind of was. Much better than the Terminator pilot which got picked up, so I'm sure this will now. We shall see what the ratings did.

qdave Posted February 18, 2008 Share Posted February 18, 2008 it's a shame that they used a mustang instead of that sexy beast indeed! mustang is pathetic :( its neither sexy nor cool..just a regular car.

Budious Posted February 18, 2008 Share Posted February 18, 2008 The car seems a little too super all the way around and yet it can be hacked in 30 seconds... wtf! T-boned by a SUV traveling at 80+ mph... where are physics to send KITT rolling down the road coming to rest unscratched, it didn't even bulge an inch... and 167mpg?!

You could see the hood and the black hubcaps. Only part I hated was that it seemed like it went to commercial every 5 minutes. There were parts of it scattered around. The license plate, the steering wheel, the hood. Just like the BSG pilot it was cool seeing the old leading into the new. Yeah, it did seem to go to commercial way to much. I don't know about elsewhere, but here it seemed like there were more Dodge ads than Ford ads.

crazzyyfool Posted February 18, 2008 Share Posted February 18, 2008 Just watched a few clips on YT. Not really digging the new theme tune or the fact that KITT now morphs. Guess I'm gonna have to watch the whole pilot.

KeR Posted February 18, 2008 Share Posted February 18, 2008 I am disappointed and here is why: -The whole show is a commercial for Ford. -The retro looking Mustang does not fit the futuristic concept of the show. Ford must have paid through the roof for them to use the Mustang. -The morphing car thing is just too much...the bumper materializes out of thin air. -Plot holes all over. -Again they are using a Mustang, damn you NBC.

Berserk87 Posted February 18, 2008 Share Posted February 18, 2008 after they show Hoff the ratings are gonna drop, because thats really the only thing people want to see :p i predict a lot of "terminator" jokes, where the computer takes what they say literally and makes some really lame joke.
