Given that Knight Rider is about to be rebooted (I’m sure it’ll be crap but will watch a couple episodes at least) I’d say they thought carefully about the timing.

Wait, seriously? But they rebooted it ten years ago!

Yep, the terrible Knight Rider of 2008 is why I’m so confident it’ll be crap.

I’ll be honest. By the end of the first season of the reboot I was kind of sad it got canceled. Definitely started out super weak but improved as it went along.

I was annoyed they ditched the cool looking hero car from the TV movie and turned it into a bro-mobile.

TV movie?

Yeah, there’s was a TV movie before the reboot.

I’ve heard a couple of people say that. I think I only made it 3-4 episodes in before I couldn’t take it.

I was younger, for sure, but once I got past the first half of the season it just fulfilled all my explosion-filled blue neon dreams of cool fast cars and bad guys

Yeah, I’m old enough to remember watching the original Knight Rider when it was in sindication. I’m not quite old enough to have watched it when new though.

I have no doubt comparing it to my nostalgia for the original soured it for me.
