NEW Knight Rider
 
Anyone going to watch it this Sunday?

El Fangel 02-15-2008 01:33 AM

:'(

Probably not. Whatever happened to making original programming, and not remakes of stuff that is twenty years old.

I can come up with some original shows just off the top of my head.

A man working at an assembly factory has a mid-life crisis and decides to leave on a journey around the world. Each week he vists new cultures and expands his mind.

A robot working in a robot factory has a mid-life crisis and decides to leave on a journey around the world. Each week he visits new cultures and expands his artificial mind.

A star baseball player has a mid-career crisis and decides to leave on a journey around the world. Each weeks he visits new cultures and expands his HGH mind.

How about a comedy about rich snobs? That hasn't been done in a while.

What about another comedy involving African Americans and their culture in the business world? Pretty original, huh.

Back on topic, I might check this show out I suppose.

G 02-15-2008 01:40 AM

eh. I will, but it's not something that makes me all excited to finally watch.

Jura 02-15-2008 01:48 AM

With your mother.

LoDownM 02-15-2008 01:52 AM

I will. Just because Kitt is a 2008 Shelby Mustang GT500.

And DrA, it's not a remake, more of a sequel.

El Fangel 02-15-2008 01:52 AM

Fucking remakes, and "New" takes.

Vietnamese Crippler 02-15-2008 02:10 AM

Bah, screw the GT500, it's not Knight Rider without the Trans Am. And for some reason, I don't see Val Kilmer being a very good KITT :o

I may watch, though, if I remember it's on.

El Fangel 02-15-2008 02:25 AM

If anything they should have left the Trans Am FFS

Killmer, will kill this legend.

LoDownM 02-15-2008 02:27 AM

I'm sure it would of been a Trans Am, if they still made them.

Vietnamese Crippler 02-15-2008 02:31 AM

It's not even that it's not a Trans Am, it's just a GT500 seems so different from the old car. IMO, the Z06 or even the newer GTO would've worked great.

Its not like they are extinct, then again, you would need quite a few to do alot of scences, so I dont know, the GT500 is not much more common, less in fact im guessing.

And when was the last GT500 Produced?

FakeLaser 02-15-2008 02:34 AM

Do Mase got the ladies? (Yeah Yeah)
Do Puff drive Mercedes? (Yeah Yeah)
Take hits from the 80s? (Yeah Yeah)
But do it sound so crazy?

Ford is still producing them now...

LoDownM 02-15-2008 02:37 AM

Yeah, but would you want to spend the time looking for 5-6 Trans Am from 7 years ago, let alone finding that many used that are the same, or just say "Hey Ford, here's some cash, give us 5 of them 08 GT500's" if you worked at NBC?


:rant: thats directed at FA.

Vietnamese Crippler 02-15-2008 02:40 AM

Hell, it's probably more like "Give us 1 GT500 to add the LED strip to, and 4 base Mustangs as stunt cars."

P.S. :o

LoDownM 02-15-2008 02:41 AM

Yeah, still easier than hunting down 4 Trans Ams.

There was NO GT500's produced after 1970.

Case Closed.

LoDownM 02-15-2008 02:44 AM

ORLY? http://www.svt.ford.com/

El Fangel 02-15-2008 02:46 AM

I fucking said case closed :rant:

I know. You lose the case.

El Fangel 02-15-2008 02:55 AM

Those things look like shit... no REAL GT500's have been made since 1970.

LoDownM 02-15-2008 02:57 AM

Me and you are now enemy's Mr. Fallen Angel.

Any Mustang after 06 is beautiful.

El Fangel 02-15-2008 02:58 AM

I hate all new model "classics"

sorry.

El Fangel 02-15-2008 02:58 AM

I want to go kick the windshields in on all the new mustangs.

and especially the new chargers.

C'mon that think looks like crap compared to the original.

LoDownM 02-15-2008 03:01 AM

I agree with you on the new Chargers. They are just Magnums with the back cut off and a different grill.

LoDownM 02-15-2008 03:02 AM

IMHO Classic Muscle Cars should stay as Classic Muscle Cars.

G 02-15-2008 03:18 AM

KITT is a Ford because Ford is the sponsor. You will see mostly Fords in the movie.




And LOL @ the "they don't make Shelby's anymore" comment. :D

El Fangel 02-15-2008 03:26 AM

They dont make them like they used to is the point I was trying to indirectly get across.

Xerzes 02-15-2008 04:42 AM

Needs more Hasselhoff.

:roll:

They're just as good, if not better now.

Downunder 02-15-2008 06:33 AM

Christ you yanks have some fucking ugly cars.


(GT500 is not one of them)

ClockShot 02-15-2008 01:09 PM

I'll check this out. Just to get an idea of the plot and whatnot.

However, I'm surprised nobody looked hard enough to find a Trans Am replica on e-bay or someplace to use on this show instead of a Ford.

Personally, I think cars peaked aesthetically like 10 years ago, just my opinion though.
