I really don't get all the people complaining about this show. It isn't meant to be perfect and 100% realistic (you need to feel like you're 10 years old while watching it, like you were, when the original series aired). Well, I like it (I can't say I totally love it, but I like it). So what, if KITT can't take infinite rounds from a 50 cal (or a tank or a helicopter gun ship) or break uncomputerized locks etc. The show has grown up a bit as have the fans of the original. It's become A BIT more realistic. And that's good. I love the characters, I love KI headquarters, the fact that the plane has taken the place of the truck and most of all I LOVE THE CAR.... when it's not in attack mode.
Which brings us to the faults in this show and the biggest one of them all - KITT in attack mode! Who the hell designed that!? A 9-year-old? It just looks cheesy! Why the plastic tubes on the hood or the tin wheels? You can do better than that (although it is quite difficult to make the Shelby GT500KR any cooler). If you can't, just make it lower, add a bigger rear wing and that is it! It doesn't need an attack mode, that car looks like it could bite your head off even when it's standing still. The show could reduce the product placement (well, the obvious promotion of Ford). The Cobra does the job just fine. And the transformation from a mustang to a truck or a van? Not a big fan of that really. At least they could make KITT transform into something really cool (the Ford F150 is as cool as a pick-up truck can be, but pick-ups in general are as cool as lawnmowers or tractors).
OK, enough. I just wanted to say, that the show is not as bad as you could imagine from all the comments, but ended up writing a book about it. OK, enjoy the show, I definitely will.
