Knight Rider is something for 12-year-old boys (and 12-year-old-boys at heart), undemanding, unsophisticated, no deeper than the thickness of a comic-book page.

A show that delivers every ounce of cheese its package promises, if not the recommended daily allowance of calcium.

Seldom has a major network launched a show boasting as many terrible performances or jaw-dropper moments as this premiere.

Russo tries to pick up the gaping chasm of slack and get a little energy going, but she just looks embarrassed to be yelling at a car, arguing with a car, flirting with a car, whatever.

The "Knight Rider" revival movie set the bar low in terms of expectations, and damned if the series premiere still doesn't go skidding under it. Frankly, this convoluted hour sent me scurrying to NBC's website looking for clarification about the plot, but--whew, what a relief--there really isn't much of one.

Knight Rider is nothing more than car porn.

It's the kind of bad that sells cheese or gets entertainment presidents fired--one or the other, or both.

Got an itch for a talking car? Me too! Loved the update and the definite Baywatch vibes this show was giving off. The pilot even had the man himself stop in and hand over the reins. But eventually it turned into a repetitive product placement auto-maker advertisement wrapped in a cheesy millennial attempt at a buddy-cop/sci-fi/crime-drama wrapped in T&A . . . which is neat for nostalgia reasons.
