    Silliness limits this cartoon, which forces actors to take a back seat to know-it-all KITT (voice by Val Kilmer).

    You've got to figure that it doesn't bode well for Knight Rider given the fact its human stars--which also include Sydney Tamilia Poitier, Paul Campbell, Bruce Davison and Yancy Arias--are eclipsed by computerized graphics and an emotionless hunk of sleek metal.

    Knight Rider arrives tricked out with just enough eccentricity to avoid utterly craven stupidity.

    Is the show cheesy? Are some of the FX laughably lame (i.e. Attack Mode... WTF?) YES, but are you forgetting just how cheesy & often stupid the original 80's series with The Hoff was? Stop complaining! If you hate the show so much, watch your ever-overglorified Pushing Daisies or some other dreck that only giddy teenagers or shut-ins would like. As for those of you complaining about the T&A, get real. Transformers movie was geared towards 10-15 year-olds as well and it featured an entire scene discussing masturbation!!! Talk about awkward & inappropriate!… Expand

    This is the epitaph of POOR. Poor casting, Acting, Directing,Producing and anything else you could possibly throw into the melting pot of horrible. The show has no flow to it. It has alot of style and flash but no soul. i could have directed a new Knight Rider and done the casting. People say that the old 80's version is just as chessy etc. Guess what everyone who is a fan of Knight Rider can watch the old 80's series revamped rather than watching this. All these females.....oh my lord. Like all these characters and no soul. I just watched my own worst enemy now that is how you bring balance to a television series. Casting,Acting,Story...everything intriguing captivating . I'm still wondering how NBC ended up with this. This show belongs on HBO. It gets a 3 because of what the car can actually do.… Expand

    I felt like I was watching a show that even the CW network thought was too dumb to air.
