Hey, I grew up on Knight Rider; these days it has a place of honor on my DVD shelf, next to Starsky and Hutch and Magnum, P.I.
I even had a TransAm that I started converting into KITT. I sold it to a friend (who is continuing the conversion) before I got married.
The show was dumb, and everything about it and the car (Trans Am yuck) was dumb. David Hunkelhoff couldn’t act his way out of a paper bag to save his life…
… now if the car had been a 1963 Corvette, I would’ve overlooked Hussyhopp’s acting.
Kinght Rider, was not a Trans Am. Oh, it may have been made by Pontiac and been stamped Trans Am, but it was nothing like what was in Smokey and the Bandit… which was infact, a Trans Am.
Route 66 – In which Todd Stools and Buzz Mudrock gad about the countryside solving problems, righting wrongs, deflowering maidens and looking terminally cool in their brand new 'Vette, despite their having no visible means of support. Alas, the 'Vette was not red, though, but either light blue or tan, which filmed better in black and white.
Stop picking on Tyler. It still morn Shatner pulling an Adam West and degenerating into his own worst caricature. There are things that still cause my pulse to quicken, because I saw them at an impressionable age. I still go through a box of Kleenex when I watch the movie Silent Running. I was a big fan of Johnny Quest and Space Ghost when they both first came out on Saturday mornings. I still enjoy Johnny Quest, but Space Ghost deserves the treatment it gets at the hands of Cartoon Network, speaking of own worst caricature.
Shatner. Dear God. Tell your fan base to “Get a life”? Talk about shooting your career in the foot! “Excuse me Walmart associate, where are the lives?” “Isle four, next to the happily ever afters!” When you have the nerdy self esteem of the class alien life-form, getting a life involves things like 20 years of counseling!
No, that’s just the last time I start up again. I start about the time of the opening seen with the close-up of the snail, even when I saw it the first time. The poster clued me in on the nature (or lack there of) of the plot.
All you guys talk about is cars and stuff. I have never, ever understood it.
Someone brings up the show Route 66 and all you talk about is their silly CAR???
What about George Maharis?
This isn’t the best picture of him, I must admit. I can’t imagine what the problem is with his hands.
Ah, Tyler - you ONLY got away with this because I was busy at work and hadn’t time to get on here.

Joseph - Nate was about 5 when he promised to buy me a '63 hard top 'Vette when he made his first million. On a sailor’s salary I’ll probably be waiting a while!!!
