Apparently NBC is really trying to drive this show into the ground before it ever gets going.

You know, the original, while a little bit cheesy was a guy with a fast car that had some high tech gizmos. Even then, there was no Super Pusuit mode, Attack Mode, blah, blah, blah. That was when this show was "good". Okay, I'll use that term lightly, but it was then that you could almost see this as plausible. KITT could be armored, he could have a small thruster that would give him super speed or turbo boost. A small grappling hook wasn't impossible. With t-tops, an ejector seat was even doable (Mythbusters did it on one episode). Oil slicks, radar jamming equipment, scanners, etc. Sure it was over the top, not very likely, but possible. The Super Pusuit mode, the turn a t-top into a convertible with one button...that stuff starting getting ridiculous. Now....well, we've had the KITT as a Mustang discussion. The ridiculous Attack Mode (the new one being far more hideous than the first one), now a truck transformation? Sure, the color changing paint and holographs are theorhetically possible, but an F-150?

Too bad, I kind of wanted this to be good. Now, I see less than a season here. It will probably be canceled before Christmas.

One positive thing about the F-150....at least KITT won't need the "off-road" mode that he had in the old KR. And, I guess it would be much more realistic when an Edge keeps up with it all the way along a twisty mountain road.
