If you were going in expecting Shakespeare after seeing the pilot movie, I don't know whether to laugh or shake my head...

The original was cheese, this one isn't quite in the "so bad it's Gouda" territory (yet) but the need to shove in "extras" that weren't in the pilot movie make me wonder about the long term prospects of the thing (The conspiracy, the amnesia, the KITT "truck"

I'll watch its run and see if it lands in the ditch before the inital order of 13 eps. is burned off....

the original was cheese, I never denied that, but c'mon... this is just pure chud.

Oh my god, it's 150 degrees in the car that's flaming and the people who aren't even sweating are taking off their clothes because they'd die if they didn't (huh?). And the dude thinks the chick is trying to get it on -- because he forgot he's in a fucking flaming car!

They tried to cover up bad acting and story writing with 101 cliched possible subplots... this show should never have progressed beyond the movie (which was bad, but not Series Premier Bad™)

The only saving grace was the brief appearance of the Stryker convertible.

But that raises the question... they have expensive cars, and a budget for effects out the wazzoo.. couldn't they spend a couple extra bucks and hire a designer or a couple of military consultants to at least make things appear feasible?

I can accept bad acting (ie, the movie), but you can't toss in poor story, cheesy effects, and forced drama.. the whole thing just fell on it's face. It's like watching VIP, but without the campiness.

I'd be embarrassed to own a GT500KR after watching that show.

I couldn't stand VIP either
