Found myself sat on the sofa last night watching the first of the New Knight Rider series on Sci-fi channel on Sky+. I must admit I was very pleasently surprised. I used to love the old series as a kid and my initial thought was that the new one would just not do the old series justice. So far so good in my opinion. Am looking forward to seeing next part of the series.

but surely it didn't star the hoff? Its just not the same!

Well in the first one which i think was supposed to be the pilot, "The Hoff" made a guest appearance right at the end. I agree it was not the same without the Hoff but his replacement is not that bad on the eyes. Going to give it a chance to grow on me

Hey...thats not KITT either...I'm starting to feel cheated already, not even watched it yet!

I'll give it a watch....gotta be better than the new biker series on Bravo, on a Tuesday night

I must admit I thought I would feel cheated too...... I mean how can they replace the Hoff and KITT but I must admit the new KITT is a much upgraded version and does not take anything away from the old one at all and Val Kilmer is the voice of the new KITT. The CGI is fantastic from what I have seen so far.

Seriously worth giving it a chance.

Seen them all when they were aired in the states over the turn of the year.

I liked, but looks doubtful if there will be a series 2

Just watching the pilot series now on SCI FI. A Ford Mustang replaces the Trans AM, and the voice of KITT well, it's just not the same.

The car styling is cool though

Watched the trailer ages ago when it first went to the States. As an original KR fan (I have Series 1+2 on official DVD, and every episode series 1-4 on naughty DVD anwyway) I found it quite.. insulting?

It's like the new Red Dwarf.. it's just not the same somehow.
