Film School Rejects: Knight Rider Gets Full Season, Proving There is No God

  • Jeff Whitley · 1 year ago
    Well I can't say their is no God but I can say that perhaps this a one of those plagues that you totally want to avoid.

    Problems:
    1- Episodes are not story centralized but more about eye candy than anything else, to the point that it is just plain stupid in the story line.
    2- The series is chalked full of cheezy Fxs.
    3- I don't really care about the car itself but KITT could definitely use a make over.

    Love the show itself but it would be better off in some one else's hands, one who actually could make a good production out of the classic series!!

    Jeff, I thought long and hard about that title, trying to find the best way to express my despair. "There is no God" was the best I could come up with, but you are right--a reference to the plagues would have been far more effective. It is a plague. It's like the frogs and the locust and the rivers of blood and the death of the first born all wrapped up into one. And the pestilence. Don't forget the pestilence.

    Hats off to you, sir.

    We are of like minds sir!!!

    What makes it so bad is, after the premier, I had high expectations. I feel betrayed!!

    I can say it... there is no god.

    But I would take issue with your characterization of KR as the most awful show ever put on television. Did you not see Cop Rock, The Ropers, According to Jim, Small Wonder, or Mama's Family?
  • Mister Hand · 1 year ago
    I saw them all, Rob. All of them better than KNIGHT RIDER. In fact, you basically just made a list of all the television shows that are just shy of CITIZEN FRIGGIN' KANE in quality when compared to KR.

    I think they ordered a full season because Michael Knight reminds them of FSR's own Robert Fure.

    Whoa...whoa...let's all just cool down before throwing around insults at Mama's Family.

    Leave her out of this.

    I was shocked when it got picked up, after the awful movie and I'm even more shocked that it's now getting a full season.

    Sometimes it just boggles the mind, how one show can survive and others get canceled!!

    I'd much rather have NBCs Journeyman that this! While I'm resurrecting Journeyman, how awful it life on mars? Comparatively speaking, its Journeyman with a twist, not a lot of difference other than it's ABCs remake of an old BBC show.
