Yes, in the new Knight Rider, KARR is a big robot
On New Year's Eve, Knight Rider returns to the airwaves following its extended holiday hiatus. Once the 12/31 episode is out of the way (it's reportedly one of the earliest ones filmed, so expect it to suck miserably), the too-little-too-late "reboot" of Knight Rider will get rolling, with character deaths (yes!) and a story arc that will include a KITT vs. KARR showdown. As in the original series (which seems like I, Claudius compared to the current dreck) Peter Cullen will provide KARR with his voice. Unfortunately, instead of a two-tone 3rd-gen F-body, that voice will be attached to giant transforming robot. That's all good for Peter Cullen, who knows from voicing transforming robots, but for Knight Rider it seems pretty dopey, which is par for the course. For a sneak peek at KARR's new form, check out the video snippet posted at Knight Rider Online. Liveblogging the final nine episodes of this catastrophe is gonna be fun, and it all resumes Wednesday at 8pm Eastern.

i don't understand why you guys liveblog this crap instead of, say, the 24 hours of LeMons. y'know, something worth reading?

Alex's liveblogging of this tranwreck is one of the more funny things I read online for the week. I enjoy watching the show (strange, isn't it) and reading Alex's comments, and hey, we could all use a bit of levity these days.

I'm guessing that the 24 Hours of LeMons doesn't pay as well. :(

Alex, this is gonna hurt you more than it's gonna hurt us. Who's idiotic idea was this?
Get the Jack and Coke ready...you'll need it.

Got enough commas in there?

Got enough free time to check?

enough free time to check huh? well lets see, it took less than a minute to read that, so if you're asking if i have a spare minute then yes, yes i do.
Kimura 5:16PM (12/28/2008)
To what end? So you can alert AB to their excessive use of commas? OH NOES! The internets will surely break in half!

I can hang with warranted criticism. That was indeed a comma nightmare, and hopefully it reads better now.
matt 6:35PM (12/28/2008)
first of all, i just meant it as a joke. it was just something i observed while reading it. second of all, kimura, calm down.

Turnabout is fair play. :P

I still can't believe they kept this POS over "My Own Worst Enemy". That show was actually a helluva lot better than I thought it would've been. And didn't they replace it with "Momma's Boys"?
*sigh* at the American tv society...as a whole, tv is horrible this year. I could barely get into Heroes, but Sara Connor was still entertaining. Those hours go by so fast when you're engrossed. 2009 can't come fast enough...

Oh, if the bet is that the reboot will be even worse than the preboot, I'm all in.

A giant robot. Yes. 'Cause Ford don't make evil cars and other brands don't exist in this universe...if they did, they'd be evil, too. :-p

How does this load of crap stay afloat? This thing has not only jumped the shark EVERY episode, it has jumped a f'n sperm WHALE. What next after KARR? KITT vs. ALF?

I think new KARR is a Decepticon. I think it is a Megatron's evil brother.

Come on guys (and dolls), give them a break! If you can do better why don't you try submitting some scripts via THE SCREEN WRITERS GUILD? If you make the grade they pay damn good for good scripts and you could work your self into a good profession! I know, I'm a member myself! So, rather than spend all your time writing in the comment column do something constructive you might enjoy it!
