I watched half of Knight Rider while waiting for one of the debates.

Absolute garbage.

I think Molly Shannon is hilarious, so I was really hoping this would be worth watching, but yeah, it sucks ass. I sat through the first episode, fighting my impulse to delete it from the TiVo in hopes that it would get better. I haven't been able to sit through another full episode, and killed the season pass.

There is a free version of the KITT voice for tom toms floating around. If I used it, I would throw up every time it gave me a direction.

Oh, and I have absolutely no idea what Kath and Kim is, but it sounds like it sucks just from the name.

It's a new Thursday night sitcom on NBC. I'm kind of surprised that it hasn't been canned already.

Discuss it with what? 7 people? What's the point? You may as well have just send a PM to those people asking what they thought. What a dumbass.

Oh and someone quote this so he can read it.

He probably just doesn't read their posts in CE? That's what I did with midnyte for years. I mean, he'll have to click on their posts to read them, but that's not really much of a hassle. It would be cool if you could select people to ignore by forum, but I don't see any phpbb3 mods that do it.

Why do you have to go and quote some useless turd that I put on ignore for a reason? Shitheads like her chased away half of the usefull people on the board and I choose not to run while making this place more enjoyable. I am perfectly content to discuss anything with the few tolerable people left, but if someone starts quoting everyone just to get around the ignore feature, then they will end up on ignore too even if it means losing access to someone I do enjoy conversing with.

Oh no you don't want to be ignored by Kilmoll do you??

Fact is this thread is stupid. First he goes and says he puts half the board on ignore and then he starts a thread and says 'Discuss'. Unless he meant amongst ourselves because that's the only thing that would make sense.

And no it's the shitheads like Midnyte and Funk who chased away half of the useful people. Seriously if you put people on ignore fine. But to keep pointing it out it's simply you with your fingers plugged in your earholes going "LALALALALAcanthearyouLALALALALA".

Oh, and Kath & Kim was a lowest common denominator Australian sitcom that I never really watched. It had a few funny gems, but you apparently had to form some kind of attachment to the awful characters to appreciate it... I don't have that kind of time.

So yeah, take something that had a broad (in every sense) culturally based appeal and shove some americans in it, and stick it on TV. Wonder why you don't like it?

Heh - I didn't realize that this was a knock-off of an Aussie show. It's not that surprising though. NBC has a fondness for knocking off shows from other countries, but usually from the UK. Given their track record, it's quite possible that this one is worse than the original.

Whatev, you all just have no class.

This thread is evil incarnage.

(The show isn't great, but it has a few laughs. Selma Blair is pretty entertaining as a completely spoiled and out of touch brat. And why is she always eating something?)

I had downloaded the 1st episode from iTunes for free a while back, and this thread made me watch it just to see how bad it was. I couldn't get past the first 10 minutes or so... Thanks for helping me free some hard drive space by deleting it sooner than I might have otherwise!

Just in the Pilot I think. Pretty sure it's not him in the new series episodes though. And yeah the new Knight Rider is pretty bad. KITT was never a Transformer. That's just dumb.

Hmm guess I was wrong. According to imdb it's still him. Sure doesn't sound like him to me!
