This show is getting ridiculous (it's about time)

Day Turns Into Knight is a great KNIGHT RIDER episode. Not a great "KR08" episode, but a great episode in the franchise. The first 30 minutes were just one absurd obstacle after another: The construction site. The overpass. Dropping KITT out of a plane. And yet in the bizarre KR universe, it all makes sense.
We just want to sit back and have fun, and that's what the original series did so well. It was often ridiculous, the producers KNEW it was ridiculous, and we all loved it. When you have a show about a talking car, you can't be subtle. You just have to swing for the fence and go all out. And I think they did that with DTIK. Did I roll my eyes a few times? You bet. But I was smiling the entire time.
The reboot is two for two.

I agree, hopefully the show continues to go in this direction for its own good (and ours!).
What do you mean by "the reboot is two for two"? I don't quite understand the expression

Several months ago, the writers/producers realized the show wasn't working out the way they wanted. So they started making significant changes to the focus and tone of the show. They called it a "reboot". The first of these episodes was last week and it was a very good episode. Tonight was the second episode, also very good. Two episodes, two winners, two-for-two.

I have to say I really enjoyed the episode. I even watched it twice tonight. I'm finding less and less to complain about... lol Everthing is getting better. It's almost like watching a totally different show called Knight rider.

I agree!!! We also got a new Silent Mode which was classic Knight Rider.

True that silent mode was awesome and pure neoclassic K.R style!
