    That was a nice touch. The end was great and that car is amazing!

    Wanted to see how it was. Anyone know when they're re-airing the pilot?

    It was an interesting show for sure. Ford overkilled with all the vehicles they used. In the chase scene every single car was a Ford but towards the end the SUV was a GMC Denali I believe. I answered the questions because I would love to win the car because it is pretty badass!

    Loved it and I'm a bit biased but that car is phenomenal.

    I liked it somwhat... but a Mustang!? Lame (especially the ricer double-wing). KITT's voice puts me to sleep, as does the acting.

    Hope it improves.

    I will give the show a "B". There were a few dry parts but overall it came together very well.

    On the other note, those commercials were AMAZING! I liked how each one had to do with eachother. Very clever!

    Commercials were funny.. especially when KIT made his date split.
    I don't watch TV much these days...working too much.. so maybe my standards are a bit low...but I loved it!

    And here I thought I ws being "nice" by upgrading it from a D-? The show didn't blow me away. It relied on the car's gadgetry, which wasn't spectacular.

    Also, when a window gets blown out by a gunshot, it can't magically re-appear when needed, unless the car has the ability to "grow" new parts (?)... which, like a grade school essay where everything turns out to be a dream (and hence a magically happy ending), brings the concept of this show down to an F-. This happened during the gun battle with the SUV towards the end BTW. Blew out the window, then it's back after the SUV slams into the magical "nano" armor.

    There were better shows with more elaborate drama, plot twists and mystery that have gone off the air. Hollywood can do better. I know it. This post is my challenge to them. Put down the pipe & get writing (or start using different drugs that increase creativity - whatever Britney Spears isn't using).

    The show was a bit cheesy, but light and fun nevertheless - obviously geared towards a younger crowd.

    Anyone notice how they used the set from the show 'Las Vegas' - the 'Montecito' hotel?

    Definitely a smart marketing move on Ford's part - made me want to get that Mustang...Interested to see how this affects their sales.

    It's on the NBC website, but there's this annoying Dove commercial that plays again and in the multiple commercial breaks.

    http://www.nbc.com/Knight_Rider/video/episodes.shtml#vid=219277

    The worst is that, the player seems to be buggy... I tried to watch it past the first 15 minutes, but it keeps playing the commercial, then jumps back to the first part of the show. Even if I drag the slider to the next marker forward, it automatically plays the Dove commercial again, and then jumps back to the first part of the show.

    Very annoying.

    I guess I'll have to wait till the re-airing.

    really? no commercials? I tried it at the URL that I posted, but the player gets stuck at the annoying Dove commercial.

    I clicked on your URL, but it starts off with a Dove commercial.

    I'm going to attempt to watch it 1 more time...

    p.s. Do you work for Dove? Or NBC? Or Ford? Shelby?

    I would say it's better than any reality show that any network could possibly come up with. That alone made me like it.

    oh wow... maybe they injected the repeated Dove commercial into it later on?
