Knight Rider - AKA: that two hour Ford commercial
meh.
I'm too young to remember the original Night Rider series, but for the occasional reruns on USA or TNT or some other forgetable cable channel. What I know of "the hoff" is only from Baywatch, viral video and America's Got (no) Talent. (Seriously, how many English teachers cried at that title?) So when I heard NBC had filmed a Knight Rider made-for-TV movie, I thought "Hey, how bad can it be?"
Oh my. It started out with gratuitous bikini shots with absolutely no relavance to the rest of the show. None. I probably should have turned it off then but I still held out hope for something better. At least that was followed by a murder and a car chase. However, after they spent 75% of the movie just riding around in the damn car, I was ready for it to end. While watching I was amused, but looking back I feel dirty and used for having laughed exactly where they wanted me to laugh. The shame of it all.
I hope they don't make this into a series. It will only help to inflate the ego of a self-agrandizing 80's throwback. See ya, hoff. I'd say it's been nice, but then I'd be lying.
