I had recorded it initially because Will Arnett was supposed to play the voice of KITT, but between me recording it and then watching it, I saw that the voice actor had changed. But it was there, so I figured (against my better judgment) that it still may be watchable.

I was wrong.

The acting was unbearable. The leading ladies were less than attractive. The “special effects” were at times sub-par to the point where I thought to myself “Seriously? I’ve seen better f/x on Sci-Fi Channel made-for-TV movies.” And the plot just wasn’t that exciting. Throughout the whole mess there were only two redeeming qualities: The Mustang was cool looking, and David Hasselhoff had a cameo.

I think that pretty much sums up how bad anything of TV is, if David Hasselhoff is a redeeming quality, then you pretty much know what to expect. But I must admit, the Hoff is a guilty pleasure, if I hear he’s going to be in anything, I find my curiosity peaking. I was disappointed all his cameo was was shaking his son’s hand (who, of course, is the new driver for the new KITT, who else, right?) at the end. I was hoping he would ride in at some desperate moment in the classic KITT car and shoot some bitches, but it never happened.

By the end I was ashamed I had wasted a few hours of my evening watching this, and even embarrassed, and trust me, it’s taking a lot of courage to even admit I watched it. I’m sure none of you reading this are the least bit surprised that this was bad, and neither was I, but the fact of the matter is is that I did watch it, and I felt the obvious needed to be stated.

I’ll just say this to end this entry:

If NBC wants people to watch this show they should put Hasselhoff behind the wheel. Let him drive around shooting people and solving mysteries. Make his character a drunk who frequents strip clubs and is a lone wolf who only looks out for himself. If you’re going to bring back the 80’s, at lease spice it up and do it right, people might actually stick around for 5 episodes before it get’s cancelled, instead of the 2 it will probably last if this new rendition actually becomes a series…
