To be fair, I can virtually guarantee that 82.9% of those votes were cast before we saw the special effects that have brought KITT to life so well in the premiere. True. Good point. I agree they have done a good job with the series! :) However...I just don't feel comfortable with analog gauges bein...

anybody working on this show at nbc, show my poll to the powers that be!!! 83% say to physically modify dashboard There need to be PHYSICAL changes!!!! Not just leave the analog and do CGI over it!!! Buy an aftermarket digital gauge and replace the stock ones!!! What are you guys, NBC, going to do a...

I say the Pickup truck transformation should stay since- How about if there was episode when KITT & Michael have to go off roading, and you know in real life a Mustang can not off-roading. [...] People that are not liking the new series just THINK about WHAT a 2 wheel drive vechicles disadvanta...

I was talking about this to my dad...I mentioned that, nanotechnology can manipulate atoms but it doesn't seem plausible to be able to take atoms from the air, a gas which is much less dense than metal, and convert them to metal to make a truck. It would involve not only the position of the atoms, b...

As for the car, I wasn't happy when I saw those analog gauges. Yes, I know the windshield graphics make up for that, but I still don't think they have any place on the most advanced supercar on the road, whether it would be redundant with the windshield graphics or not. I COULD NOT AGREE WITH THIS ...

if you had this on your car, you need also a AI, than drives it... :? cause you don't see the road anymore i'think it is a little bit to overloadet... and i miss the 'console' screen from the movie Yeah man I know what you mean, the HUD is showing a little bit too much in the driver's way. why is t...

Which is the most beautiful of the actresses Patricia or Deanna? I like much more is PATRICIA ! Here is a photo of each of them to compare. Alex. hmm well that is a poor photo of Patricia, but I agree, Patricia is more beautiful. Deanna has a beautiful face BUT she is too thin for me!!! I think Sid...

although my PC chokes on 1080p, I can usually play 720p. But iTunes video playback is poor on slower machines...my PC has difficulties playing even the standard video version with iTunes. I need to build a new PC, new motherboard, new graphics card, etc. But financial difficulties, you know. Right n...

They do have the current Knight Rider series on iTunes and in HD!!! it is free

You have to have iTunes 8.0 to get the HD.

if you "buy" the HD version it also gives you the normal tv resolution version.

It should be a blue ray disc too...I guess that will come out in the future

Was it presented in HDTV on broadcast? I've been having trouble getting broadcast signals from my room, and our DirecTV and cable hookups here are standard definition.

--Brian

You guys can't watch it at www.nbc.com/knightrider? click "video" then "full episodes"????

Does it say "we're sorry but this can only be viewed in the USA" or something?

ah man, I was hoping that digital dashboard image meant you had actually replaced your analog dash with digital instruments maybe a project for the future?

digital dashes are SO cool

Well there is also a technology being developed called an ultracapacitor, which stores charge in the same way a normal capacitor does, which allows for VERY fast charging (seconds), and yet has equal/more storage than a battery. It has a lot of potential but is a "just over the horizon" th...

well, the only other two references are "solar powered hybrid engine" in one of the promos and we know he uses gasoline for fuel and KI3T also said "my system is mostly solar powered"

electric engines in cars like the Tesla are limited by their distance they can travel... sure in part this is because of the batteries. It is entirely the batteries. Were the batteries to hold the energy equivalent of a gas tank in a typical car (assuming they had the same mass and volume as presen...

Meh, I will go with Honda's water car. Hydrogen for large vehicles and long range, derived from water with solar and nuclear, yes I agree. Electric and plug in cars still cause a alot of pollution, you just dont see it in your driveway,(electric from plug ins is still buring coal somewhere to power...

I don't agree with you Seeker, you see... I would not call a petrol engine much less efficient than an electic engine. You wouldn't? Tesla's AC Propulsion (http://www.acpropulsion.com) electric motor is 92% efficient according to Tesla Motors. Isn't a gasoline engine usually 40% or less? I said it ...

Well I am a big computer nerd and science fiction nerd myself...Star Trek and Star Wars, Larry Niven and Arthur C. Clarke and Jules Verne...I never thought jocks/car people would have liked Knight Rider until recently, I have had a lot of bad experiences with such people IRL, they were the ones who ...

As I mentioned earlier, Tesla has had to downgrade the 0-60 time to 5.7 seconds due to problems with getting the transmission they had to work reliably without breaking due to how an electric engine works with always providing 100% maximum torque. Plus the mileage on a charge has been reduced, I th...

For one KI3T is not a hybrid as far as I know? It is more of a Kinetic design more than anything as KI3T does not have an electro motor (complicated is not always best), KI3T recycles the motion and heat he produces giving him superior power and mileage... in theory. "SOLAR POWERED HYBRID ENGI...

Your comment on 'If Ford was smart...' is amusing. Every auto manufacturer is researching hybrids that get more mileage on electric-only power. Yeah well, they're all researching hydrogen fuel cells too (which I do think is the future). Silicon Valley is going to kick Detroit's butt. Detroit is goi...

Hello everyone. I've been coming here for a month now and finally decided to register. I'm extremely excited about the new series, I was a huge fan of TOS as a kid and after watching the 2 hour in february, Im ready for the new series. As for this topic, they need to change the dash. Even the touch...

I think NBC should PHYSICALLY modify the dashboard, as in, replace it with digital gauges etc. If it just has a big LCD screen where the gauges would be, and then small analog gauges underneath as backup, that would be acceptable. But it needs to be physically modified and it has to look different t...

Well the proper way for it to sound would be like a Toyota Prius as KI3T is a hybrid. So it should be quiet unless going at high speeds or long distances, when the gasoline engine is activated to be used as a generator for the electric motor. In fact there should be scenes in the new series where KI...

Why couldn't she be in her late 30s and there are lots of hot women in their 50s too!Anybody who says women become ugly after 30 must be under 20! lol Halle Berry is 42 and hot as hell!!!! and Janet Jackson too...Julianne Moore is 48....
