My friends and I were trying to find the right word to properly describe just how horrible that show was. Craptacular and Craptastic were close, but didn’t really do it justice.
It made Team Knight Rider look like high quality television.
If they had shown this before the writer’s strike had ended, I think no one would have wanted the writers back.
All I have to say is that the term “nanotechnology” is being abused here and most everywhere else. Why does it have to explain everything that is possible in the hi-tech world nowadays?
If they actually do an Airwolf episode, I hope they learn their lessons from the two wasted hours of Knight Rider. I’m not holding my breath on that.
Knight rider should have focused on one good solid hour of quality work and put good money into the special effects. Where the hell was the turbo boost? I miss the turbo boost!
I heard that when the writers strike happened the script was still needing a ton of work, but the ABC(?) reps wanted to hustle it through thinking that it could possibly be the only new show on TV.
It’s funny, but when you research a bit online, it turns out it wasn’t a big Ford master plan, but the brainchild of a young studio exec who then pitched the Big 3 (it had to be a domestic car, and two doors, don<t you know…) The ironic part was that the car it’s designed to pitch - the Shelby - wasn’t available at the time of filming, so Ford gave them 4 GTs and 2 V6 stock units to work with… the aftermarket people did the rest based on sketches and display pieces…
So you’re saying that nano-technology CAN’T make a car change colours, grow an extra spoiler, morph it’s body shape, become bullet proof, or survive a t-boning from an SUV at highway speeds without (a) moving, or (b) incurring any damage whatsoever???
