You don't remake Herby using a Scion Shoebox, or remake Dukes of Hazzard with a Dodge Viper, so why butcher Knight Rider with a car that looks like some fantard's Photoshop? Don't get me wrong. The '08 Mustang is a nice car, but is it right for the role of KITT? Hell No. It doesn't make any sense and it alienates the crap out of the original fanbase. Oh, you're going to say "Its not for you, its for the kids" Right, and even those kids could see how laughable and stupid this show is. C'mon, lesbian FBI agens, bisexual 3-ways, and that "Maybe that's why 75% of marriages end in divorce" line? I'm gay, and even that was just too much. I didn't tune in to be preached to, I tuned in to watch a black car TURBO BOOST over stuff and CRASH through some walls. Neither of which occured in the entire 2 hours of this shoddy revival. If Fred Phelps protested this show I'd actually consider joining him just for the lulz. Even this 7yo 4th gen TA would’ve made a better KITT.

Hot pseudo-lesbians and homophobia are a great 1-2 punch! Crossposted from io9.com, a commenter had this to say:

I held back on the Ford hate because I'm from a Ford family, and I learned to drive in a 1987 5-speed, 5.0 black Mustang. Even with all that forgiveness in my heart, I was mortally embarrassed for the FoMoCo for backing this crap. Still, get used to product placement like that... TiVo is rapidly making sure that's the future of television. Thanks!

I could not have said it better. The soon-after-opening scene of the hero in bed with 2 bimbos really set the tone. The heavy-handed "BlackRiver" bad guys was a MoveOndotOrg inspired nightmare. Also, the whole movie was a Ford commercial. Every car in the show was a Ford. But you have to wonder who at Ford thought that they should be behind this disaster. WE AT FORD THINK THAT LESBIANS AND SEXUAL LIBERTINES ARE REALLY COOL. REGULAR FAMILES NEED NOT APPLY. This is just about the worst actual show that I have seen on TV. I could understand if this turkey was aired on the LOGO channel. Great review. I could not have said it better. The soon-after-opening scene of the hero in bed with 2 bimbos really set the tone.
