New show makes fun of Knight Rider
On Comedy Central, late night on Adult Swim is a show called Stroker and Hoop. It's these 2 guys who have a talking car named C.A.R.R. and has a similar voice to K.I.T.T. but with an attitude and loves to talk back. By watching the show you can easily see how it is a Knight Rider Ripoff

First off, thanks jj for telling us about this!
Now then, for the show itself.... um... yeah... Not really my thing. The openning credits are much cooler than the show itself (which isn't saying much.
Openning credits: 1.8 MB

Here's a short clip so you can hear "C.A.R.R.'s voice. The voice is by Paul Christie, a new voice actor as far as I can tell from imdb.
Clip: 1.7 MB (animated gore)

Some of the funniest movies and TV show episodes ever made are spoofs. Airplane... Young Frankenstein... Dozens of Simpsons episodes... Don't hate a show you haven't seen because it's borrowing from Knight Rider. Watch it, then hate it simply because it's stupid.
(It's not an entirely bad show, it's just trying too hard to be cool and edgy and it seems forced.)

As far as I was concerned - VIPER was a show that was like a knockoff of Knight Rider and I LOVED that show. I just don't like shows that do a piss poor job of imitating a show that was so popular. Viper - to me was a parody of Knight Rider - but yet not. I loved that show. I just hate cheesy shows.

Yeah, that cartoon also is a spoof of Starsky and Hutch, also has the same initials from Starsky and Hutch. Also the car is red or orange just like like the Ford Torino and it also has the design on the side, only its black as oppose to white.
Edit* sorry about the double post, was going super slow.

lol, sounds funny!
I don't think it's directly trying to immitate Knight Rider or Starsky; if you watch any show on Adult Swim you'll know that they're just being stupid and getting laughs. I think they're taking a few ideas (a few very obvious ideas lol) from a few shows and having fun with 'em - not actually riping off. But I haven't seen the show so my judgement might be a poor one
