Product Description

Despite an onscreen benediction from the Hoff himself, the two-hour pilot movie admittedly clunks a bit, with a few too many cross-country trips and a lack of any real hissable villains. Things improve considerably once the regular series begins, however, as Man and Car face off against the likes of terrorist surfers, nitro-burning street racers, and many other evildoers equipped with a plethora of expendable, easily explodable vehicles.
Formulaically enjoyable as these early bikini-intensive episodes often are, though, things really pick up mid-season, with a genuinely tense three-part story arc that ups the dramatic ante, makes some surprising alterations to the cast roster, and, most importantly, reintroduces KITT's ticked-off cyborg nemesis KARR. The lack of a second season brought an end to this late-blooming creative surge, unfortunately, but, overall, this remains a breezily escapist, slickly helmed revamp that manages to do its daddy proud. Any series that features both KITT morphing into a truck and comes up with a scientific reason for its human leads to strip down to their underwear within the first 10 minutes of its first episode is a show with a firm understanding of exactly what it is. Special features include cast and crew commentary on the pilot, a rather overproduced gag reel, and several featurettes about the original series that should keep gearheads briefly riveted. --Andrew Wright

Knight Rider,

This review is from: Knight Rider: Season 1 (DVD)
It's a shame the new Knight Rider wasn't really given a chance. One season and it was a great one was enough for me to buy the DVD set. The graphics and technology in the show was exceptional and I bet this was one very expensive series to produce. Regardless if you like the original or not you will get full value with this and a whole lot of action!

The Best . It leaves you wanting more.,
This review is from: Knight Rider: Season 1 (DVD)
I used to watch the original series and enjoyed it then.I didn't know about this remake in 2008 until seeing it when browsing on Netflix. I watch the whole series there with my 10 yr. old son and wife. We enjoyed as much as he did and everyone was wanting more when it was over.My son keeps telling to write the people and tell to keep making it. I still cant believe that they actually stopped making it because I think it was really well done and good family entertainment with the kids.The transformer movies are so popular I know most kids would like this series too, pity the people that created it can't see this.Of course I bought the collection here on Amazon. Wish the creator of this series would think of the kids of today and the transformer generation and continue this series.
