Sweet! See that's awesome :)

although I still think the 3 bars is the idea KITT voice box...or a holographic/3d version would work too. but there are definitely modern 2008 devices that show equalizer bars on them. :)

I actually think the closeup of the spectrum analyzer I posted above might be a good update to the standard KITT voicebox. Like, when KITT is analyzing other sound those bars can move as well. Just a thought :) Or...just having more bars might indicate it is a more sophisticated version. :)

Though the car will have Turbo Boost as it was confirmed. Though we don't know exactly how it'll look GST's hand could come down from the sky and grab a model version of the car while he makes sound effects for it while "jumping" it over whatever the obstacle is.

Haha! That would actually be awesome. This is good timing. With the high gas prices, there's probably a surplus of Mustangs to jump/crash/ruin. Modding them probably isn't cheap though, makes me think they'll do all the jumps in CG. CG Cars are pretty easy to pull off - granted it's not as exciting as the real deal.

The trick is, to make the jumps so realistic that you don't know it's NOT the real deal! :)

(Unlike TOS where they cut away from the jump just before an obvious nose-plant landing.)

Or the painfully obvious ramp placement. Sometimes I'd swear you could actually see it.

I think the main reason this show might "suck" is because people don't seem to be willing to give it a chance. For those like me who was glued to the TV during that very first pilot back in 1982 and was glued to the TV for every episode after that, this is awesome. I have waited anxiously for years to see what they might do to continue the story, and while there are things I wish would happen and definitely things I hope will change throughout the new series, I am thrilled to see that someone is taking a chance on Knight Rider. Let's give it a chance!!!!

Reasons why this show is going to suck

1. Fix a better dash! seriously i love the ford mustang and all, but i dont wanna see a 60's retro looking dash in a state of the art automobile!

2. lambo Doors??? what is kitt going to throw michael knight out sideways?, like the old kitt tossed michael outta the t-tops???

3. the voice?? where the F#$% is Mr. feeny??? William daniels should of done kitt, pretend the foundation just upgraded the program and put it into the ki3t's processor. Why is this so hard???

4. Cobra symbols???? lmao, huh?? what does a snake have to do with a knight???

5. where's the semi??? you know they aren't going to use a semi... they now have a batcave??? (a.k.a knight research and development) wilton knight is rolling over in his grave!!!

6. Attack mode kitt... :roll: lets go to the track, drink some beers, while michael knight tries to sleep with sara graimen, while trying to impress her with ki3t wich looks like a dragster that belongs in the fast and the furious movies!

7. kitt is learning??? learning??? this i a billion dollar automobile and charles forgot to give it personality???

8. Cgi Turbo boosting??? They redid the dukes of hazzard movie and actually made the charger jump back in 2001 or something. cgi????

9. the ford f-150 turns into ki3t as we see in one of the previews. please explain this one to me. the foundation must have like alien technology or something or maybe the transformers and kitt are cousins

10. No Firebird, and were not going to see one. Why?? cause we live in a bussiness world and ford will never let a gm car on there show

i'm boycotting this peace of crap, they ruined my childhood memories with this garbage. if no one tunes in on this date, maybe the writers will get the idea. i feel bad for Glen A larson, cause he has nothing to do with this mockery of his show, and he's probably laughing at all these people trying oh so hard to be like him.

I'm out!!
sincerly,
A man who does not exist
You speak the truth here, except I Didn't like the mustang and poor bruce davison, completely wasted in this thing.

I Mean the new show does get entertainment for the first 2 minutes or so then it gets so ridiculous and so stupid that it drove me crazy and made viper look like a classic.

That fraze was remembering me a hole new perspective that we have to think about:

Everybody is talking about the mistakes and the showmakers just make them without having any idea about it. They do their job, we do our forum, but we are separeted and they won't care about us! They just making their mistakes further without knowing anithing about our opinion... :?

Mr Thompson proved that in his reports!

What do you think? Where is the light at the and of the tunnel? :?

^^ lol people have to calm down a bit,they are not remeaking the show JUST for us old fans. Christ if all they ever did was refere to the original,half the audience wouldnt have a clue what was going on. Give it a chance,judge it after 5 episodes,not 1.

Not a chance, this remake stinks, NBC has ran out of steam with this version, in the meantime I'll be watching the original in syndication and on DVD.

Cause I Know what it is.

Am I one of the only people on KRO who gets that this is the year 2008 and not 1982.Things have changed!The Trans Am is out of production,WD and DH are too old to do this show full time,although they will make some guest appearences,and also the style of a television show has also changed.To add to that,to make Knight Rider 2008 successful,they also need to aim at a younger crowd(people my age,for example)who are going to be new generation fans.

Take the Transformers movie for an example.Although they have lots of fans for the original series,but the movie won't be successful unless they are able to attract a newer generation as well.Just be glad KR is back,and not somthing like KR2000,KR2010,and TKR.

I don't mind other things but the transformersstuff was too much. What were they thinking?!
Wouldn't it be cool to have :kittconv: KITT without roof and guys jumping in.
Just save some CGI money and don't go to outerspace with this.

Then basics are also wrong. For God's sake make it look more intensive!!! Mr. director hellooo?!!!
The action is very lame and slow. If we have fastest car in world why we are watching some booring driving?! Watch again the old show and think how you should show intensive scenes.

It's just a shame that many things were done better almost 30 years ago.

And yes. I know that I can watch DVDs again if I want. But that's not the point.
Now we would have a chance to see old consept with minor upgrades and today's quality. Right now it's not happening.
This new thing is little better than Team KR but that's not a lot.

This show is crap......

I gave the the pilot, which had some potential, and the first two episodes a chance and they have totally lost me. They have completely ruined the franchise.

I am removing this show from my dvr's to do list.
