Knight Rider. It is the bane of my existence, and it is going to get radically changed according to The Hollywood Reporter. The current formula is getting canned, as are three of the regular actors -- Sydney Tamiia Portier (Carrie), Yancey Arias (Alex), and Bruce Davison (Graiman). Knight Rider czar Gary Scott Thompson is calling this a full "reboot" of the show, which follows the partial reboot that occurred between the pilot telemovie and weekly series premiere. Why is this necessary? There are two key reasons.
So, in an effort to make the show not suck so that more people watch, Thompson says, "We're moving away from the terrorist-of-the-week formula and closer to the original, making it a show about a man and his car going out and helping more regular people, everymen." Regular characters Mike, Sarah, Zoe, and Billy survive the rejiggering, and the word is that NBC will look to stunt-cast other actors in the weekly stories to add some juice. (Cough...Hoff...cough). The new-and-probably-still-not-improved KR will arrive in January. If this frantic re-do doesn't yield marked improvements ratings-wise, we expect to see KITT turn into a pumpkin instead of an F-150 at season's end.
- The show sucks. The acting, the writing, Attack Mode K.I.T.T. -- I could go on. For more details, read the liveblogs. You will then know what I do: this is crap.
- No one watches. KR apologists will talk about how the show plays well with guys in the 18-34 demo, but seriously, these people need to zip it. Last week's episode was beaten outright in its timeslot by Cuidado con el Angel. That's a telenovela that airs on ... wait for it, because this is completely awesome ... Univision.
Either way, I'm stuck watching it every week. Feel free to join me.
Yay those characters were a absolute waste of space :D
As for the reboot of the whole series... lets see how that goes as wasn't overly impressed (to say the least) of the partial and actually preferred the tele-movie over the new series :eek: but i am a glutton for punishment and do keep tuning in...
but if we want to talk tough vehicles... you don't want to know what modifications i was thinking for my defender after watching Death Race :D:D:D;)

Yes, in the new Knight Rider, KARR is a big robot

On New Year's Eve, Knight Rider returns to the airwaves following its extended holiday hiatus. Once the 12/31 episode is out of the way (it's reportedly one of the earliest ones filmed, so expect it to suck miserably), the too-little-too-late "reboot" of Knight Rider will get rolling, with character deaths (yes!) and a story arc that will include a KITT vs. KARR showdown. As in the original series (which seems like I, Claudius compared to the current dreck) Peter Cullen will provide KARR with his voice. Unfortunately, instead of a two-tone 3rd-gen F-body, that voice will be attached to giant transforming robot. That's all good for Peter Cullen, who knows from voicing transforming robots, but for Knight Rider it seems pretty dopey, which is par for the course. For a sneak peek at KARR's new form, check out the video snippet posted at Knight Rider Online. Liveblogging the final nine episodes of this catastrophe is gonna be fun, and it all resumes Wednesday at 8pm Eastern.

15 Looks David Hasselhoff Can Pull Off But You Can’t
One of the truths you come to learn in life is that there are many cool looks David Hasselhoff can pull off that you simply cannot. Despite how unfair that may be — much like a receding hairline — it’s simply something you have to come to grips with. Here are several examples:
The Eye Patch. We operated under the impression that the Hoff lost an eye in a freak cigar accident for roughly two years after seeing this look.
Cuddling with Two Puppies. How does he look so masculine when you’d look so gay?
Cuddling with Two Puppies Naked. The Hoff needed to make it clear how much he owns you.
The Speedo / Leather Jacket Combo. You have neither the chest hair nor the package to pull this off.
Camo Shorts. Remember that time you tried on a pair and looked like a goon? Yeah, the Hoff didn’t have that problem.
Drunk and Shirtless Eating a Cheeseburger. Before we watched this video it would have been impossible to believe someone could pull this off with such class and dignity. Just score another one for the Hoff.
The Anaconda 3 Poster. If there’s another mutha in showbiz who’d look like they’re taking this role so seriously we’re not aware of him.
The 70’s Drug Kingpin Look. The Hoff dominates a Pimps & Hos party like no other.
The Sleeveless T-Shirt. Unlike you, the Hoff is prepared to hand out season passes to the gun show every time he slips one of these bad boys on.
Rocking a T-Shirt That References You in Third Person. For starters, your last name isn’t all that pun worthy. And no one is printing t-shirts about you.
Posing with Gary Coleman. Gary looked much more militant that time you had your picture taken with him in front of a car dealership.
The Lifeguard Look. No one ever starts singing “I’ll be there…” to themselves when they see you holding a red buoy over your shoulder.
Looking Surprised on a Rope Swing. That’s all talent folks. No way around it.
Practicing Chipping in Drag. Chipping in drag is easy, doing it in front of a cardboard cutout of yourself is the hard part.
And Crying on American Idol. How is it that your friends would still be calling you a homo if you’d teared up on Idol, yet the Hoff seems all the more awesome for it?
It’s good to be the king, folks. It’s good to be the king.
So Pedro, how long did it take you to compile all your favourite things??? :angel:
silly boy,,
THESE are my favourite things---:cool:
