ROX (Dutch TV)

Post by MZONDERL » Wed May 22, 2013 5:29 am

Hello everyone,

Last weekend I saw a serie called "ROX" on Dutch TV. (Nederland 3, ZAPP)
I think it's like a Knight Rider serie for Kids... Spoken language is also dutch, sorry no English.
But when watching this, I must think of Team Knight Rider, only with 3 kids and 1 car.

Dutch Commercial:

Ofcourse it's nothing like Knight Rider and has nothing to do with it, but I think the serie producers are inspired with TKR and Knight Rider 2008.

Impressive. Thanks for sharing. This is a vivid example of the popularity of KR here in Europe 30 years later. KR is still inspiring. Way too cool.

Awesome looking show, MZONDERL. I just watched the trailer at the moment. I'll have to wait till I'm not at work to watch the episode. But it looks cool. Kind of a mix between TKR and Power Rangers.

It reminds me more of Viper and Power Rangers.

Found some information on IMDB:
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2337285/?ref_=fn_al_tt_1" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Not much info, but it seems to be created in Belgium, aired in 2011, now on Dutch channel in The Netherlands.

BTW, when looking on Youtube, it's possible to view the complete first season ;-)

@theknightling : Yes, because of the red, blue, yellow jackets, it also reminds me of Power Rangers...
The reason why I think it's more connected with Knight Rider than Viper is because of the Talking Car.
The Viper car was not able to talk, did it drive by itself???? I don't know?? Can't remember... But in this series the ROX car can drive by itself, also KITT.

Ohhh...I rescind my previous comment. The clip I saw was a silver car with rockets and such. I did not know from the clip I saw that it talked and drove by itself. please forgive me!
