Why is everyone hating on this show? I don't understand. I am old enough (27 yrs) to remember the first I watched reruns growing up that were syndicated. I liked the old show a lot. I love the remake because it reminds of that. Why does it matter theres use of CGI. CGI is appropriate for a TRANSFORMING car unless you smarties can figure out how they were supposed to do it for real? Also, give it up Hasselhoff is an alcoholic who is NOT coming back and was arguably the only actor who rivalled Shatner for worst actor in the history of the profession. (still love both of them though)
One other thing bugs me. Why is it neccessary for everyone to hate so much on something that is being redone. BSG has been amazing, but its found its fan base. NBC seems intent on cancelling Knight Rider, but then again, NBC is about the only network other than FOX that seems to not give a damn about SciFI. Seriously, FOX and NBC seem to lack the ability to know how to manage SciFi TV shows....Firefly ring a bell, anyone?
Bottom line for me is I have a big soft spot in my heart for cheesy science fiction. I watch it to escape reality. I loved Black Scorpion as bad as it was. I watched with eagerness when Xena and Hercules was on...and that seriously lacked storytelling, because it had no memorable storylines or season arcs. However, I still watched it. I am just tired of SciFi being dogged out all the time but people who complain its not good enough. Suspension of disbelief is important. A transforming car with articial intelligence is not realistic, but if I am willing to sit back and enjoy the idea for what it is, a fantasy, then I can have fun.
