I tried...

[wraithfodder]

I really did. I watched the whole episode of Knight Rider. Okay, well, not all of it. Um, um, er, at one point I realized, oh I have to wash the dinner dishes, so yes, I ditched Kitt for dirty dishes. Whoa.... and it's probably a name name of some sort, but the voice for Kitt just puts me to sleep. Such a drab monotone as though some is narrating a boring book and falling asleep themselves. Alas, the plot was dull, the acting so-so, and well, unless a guest star I really want to see shows up, this show is off my roster of watching....

It's sad that I know Val Kilmer is supposedly voicing Kitt.

[wraithfodder.livejournal.com]

Whaaaaaa??? Val Kilmer who was *soooo* good in "Real Genius" (the only thing I really remember him from)??? Ack, even IMDB confirms he's voicing KITT. Ack!

[vecturist.livejournal.com]

He was in an ep of Numb3rs last season and I barely recognized him - a lot's changed since he was in 'Top Gun' as well (but I loved him in 'Spartan').

[wraithfodder.livejournal.com]

Oh, Top Gun. I really must watch that movie some day (on my to-do-before-I-die list) ;)

[tipper-green.livejournal.com]

But his best role ever? Top Secret. You've never seen Val Kilmer until you see his Elvis. LOL!

He was also great in "Kiss Kiss Bang Bang" with Robert Downey Jr. (Which I almost typed as "Rodney Downer Jr.", but for the quickness of my pinky on the delete key! My fingers...they have a mind of their own)

oh dear, i never thought about checking out YouTube (although apparently William Shatner is ranting about George Takei on YouTube - the world is getting STRANGE)!

[tipper-green.livejournal.com]

Oh Kirk and Sulu...whither how thoust friendship has faded! So sad...LOL!

[wraithfodder.livejournal.com]

I had on some infotainment show, which was talking about it and I just went, geez....

[reedfem.livejournal.com]

I liked him in The Saint.

[tipper-green.livejournal.com]

You are applauded for trying. You're a braver woman than me! LOL!

[wraithfodder.livejournal.com]

Until I bailed for a date with the suds ;)

[saltyd.livejournal.com]

Does it make you feel better or worse that my 9 year old son likes the show?

[wraithfodder.livejournal.com]

Sorta scary, really. ;) But then 9 year olds, alas, don't know what they're missing from the older shows ;)

[celestial-diary.livejournal.com]

It is for me just good for watching the "beauty" of the car itself only. I do so love my cars. :D

I'm sorry to hear that Val Kilmer's voice is putting you to sleep. But you gotta admit, Kitt does have some good lines sometimes.

Won't be surprised if it gets canned pretty soon.

[wraithfodder.livejournal.com]

The beginning credits were obviously done by someone who does car ads. I don't recall seeing a single human being in the beginning ("buy this car!") Actually, since it got a 9-episode renewal, it may survive longer than others, but usually it's a 13-episode pickup. Hmmmm...

[celestial-diary.livejournal.com]

9 only. Weird. I wonder if that's a sign to come that they may cancel the show, or maybe they're just playing it safe.

LOL! The credits do look like a car sale pitch...but it is a beautiful car. :D

[wraithfodder.livejournal.com]

Yeah, it is a very beautiful car. Darn, it's more appealing than the actors!

[dejla.livejournal.com]

I haven't even tried. And I can only watch SCC with the sound off, but I still like Sanctuary--except I think it's because Sanctuary is my kind of show.

[wraithfodder.livejournal.com]

I'll give Sanctuary a chance; after all, it's made in VAncouver so who knows who might appear, and I hope it tightens up, writing wise (at least for me) ;)

I am heartily disappointed in the remake....

KITT is a bloody TRANSFORMER now. *sigh*

Ford full size pick-up truck one minute, the next back to his shiny! (which I admit I like!) Cobra Mustang GT. Another time, he was a Ford Cargo van....

See the theme here? Ford is pumping $$ into the show, I would say... (and, NBC is looking for cash, therefore, they want Ford to keep dumping $$ into their coffers... :-p)

The acting is rather blah, I get more enjoyment out of watching the two "geeks" go back & forth - the Asian girl should just go ahead & jump the poor boy & get it over with. :-p

Have started watching The Mentalist & that's pretty interesting...

Still enjoying the heck out of NCIS now and loving how Tony is so jealous and dieing of curiosity of why she might not want to be back in DC.

[wraithfodder.livejournal.com]

oH...I must have blocked out that hideous transformer CGI crap from my mind. It's ridiculous.

Yeah, NCIS is getting better!
