I caught the first episode of the new Knight Rider this week, and while I still find it entertaining, I regret to say, it just doesn't have the magic of the original. It's more Transformers meets James Bond, and if you approach it as a Bond-style scenario, it's probably a lot more enjoyable than if you go into it with any sort of fond memories of The Hoff and his "KITT, I need ya, buddy!" Plus they seem to be laying on a thick layer of government conspiracy plot. Oh yay.
I'm sad now. :( I'll probably keep watching it to see if it evolves, but maybe the problem is just that; it DID evolve.
I still want to put that "KITT Happens" bumper sticker on my car though.

Knight Rider premiere tonight
Just in case you forgot, the new Knight Rider series kicks off tonight at 8/7 Central on NBC.
If you just can't wait another moment, or aren't sure which channel on your cable listings is NBC, you can watch the online premiere. RIGHT NOW! ZOMG!
I also heard that not a ton of people (a mere 9 million or so) checked out Fringe. It seems America is now hand-shy from repeated abuse by convoluted plots. Seeeeeeee Abrams and Carter? I TOLD YOU! But seriously, so far, Fringe is not like that. It's fairly simplistic and predictable, and mindlessley entertaining! Right up our alley, America!

Knight Rider trailer
When the pilot for the new Knight Rider debuted, like MONTHS ago, I was excited, and after watching it, I was one of those people who were still looking forward to the new series. Apparently others had some issues with it, but according to the report on the Comic Con panel discussion from Aint It Cool News, a lot of these issues have been addressed, and the series is a go, and looking sweet!
The original series was one of my very favorite shows growing up, and though that can make it more difficult in many ways for a remake, I was entertained, and that's all I'm looking for with Knight Rider.
