I'll have to agree with everyone here. The 2 hour made-for-TV movie was (I hate to say this) a million times better than the new knight rider show. And most critics weren't impressed with it either. What with the low budget feel? it felt like one of those Dolph Lundgren low budget action movies despite the special effects. The plot was terrible and I can't believe the first episode was that bad. NBC risked bad PR on the show by airing it online (or on-demand on cable) before they aired it on TV, I wouldn't be surprised if they pulled the plug within weeks. I'll watch it for another 2 weeks, if it doesn't improve, that's one less show to clutter my dvr's hard drive.

What I want to know is what execs sat down in the meeting after the pilot aired with all of the rating numbers and decided on how to make a decent pilot into a lametastic TV series. The pilot wasn't really bad. It wasn't really great It was decent. The could have kept on running with what they had and just improved on their storytelling and getting the actors more into their roles. They just had to F with the whole thing.

Exec 1: Ok. The ratings are positive, so let's "Roll Out".
Assistant 1: That's Transformers, sir.
Exec 1: Whatever. Get me some more coffee.
Exec 2: We need to spruce the show up. It needs to be pimped.
Exec 3: The Attack mode thingy need to look more like a drag race car since those go really fast!
Exec 4: We need to do Turbo Boost from the old series, but it needs to be more realistic. I think the exhaust pipes should turn down and act like rocket boosters since that's what it looked like in the old series.
Exec 1: I don't like how KITT looks when he talks. In the old series it was some lame light thing you see on sound stuff. Make it look like those purple electric ball thingys.
Ford Exec: Hey our truck sales are really down. You should make one of its modes an F-150 so you can haul stuff and go off-roading and stuff.
Exec 3: Holy cow! We could do so much with a KITT truck!
Exec 2: Michael needs to be called Michael Knight in this series, but we need to pay homage so let's throw in the name Michael Long in there.
Exec 4: And we need to make everyone thing that the original Michael is dead so nobody from his dark past comes looking for him, just like the original.
Exec 1: I like BSG and that Billy guy that they killed off. Let's bring him on to the show and call him Billy too.
Exec 3: All the old KITT jokes need to come back. I LMAO every time Michael and KITT got into it over "keep your eyes peeled". What a hoot.
Exec 5: Lair! We so need a lair! The semi is too slow, the C-130 is too expensive, and people will start to notice if we reuse the C-130 shot too many times. Lair!
Exec 2: And we need more sex! Sex sells. I want everybody boning everybody.

The best part of the episode was when Hulu put a GM Employee discount ad in the middle of a show that's one giant Ford commercial (did they *HAVE* to put in that F-150?! SERIOUSLY?!).
I think the worst part so far is how you apparently treat suffocating and heat shock by...zapping people's chests with electricity. Because that's exactly what you should do when people have fainted from being too hot and having no oxygen-electrocute them until they're ok.
Seriously who the hell wrote this crap, it's so awful that a 4 year old could have come up with a better plot playing with hotwheels. *sigh*
