Apparently not content with just showing her boobies in person to every person she meets Lindsay Lohan is now getting pictures put out on the internets. Good for her.

Lastly, for once there is a close vote in Texas and I'm already tired of it. The phone literally rings every day with companies taking polls about how I plan to vote. I plan to put my vote up on eBay. Trust the market!

So was the knight rider thing a one time deal? Or do we get a series out of it?

  I was under the impression it was going to be a series.

    If it is, they need to recast everyone, except Val.

    Technically it is going to be both a series and a movie. They are completely different projects though and undoubtedly will continue to confuse the fuck out of people.

  I bet it depends on the ratings. It probably did amazing and will get a series, followed by a cancellation. Standard TV fare.

  I'm not sure. The "movie" was essentially a pilot but I'm not sure if they intended to make their decision on viewer ratings/reaction or just the heads of the studio.

  I was really looking forward to this and all it really was, was an ad for the car. Any chance they got they cut to the Cobra or Mustang emblems. I thought the acting and actors alike were piss poor. I quit watching about 45mins into it.
  
  Nothing beats the original voice for KITT and the Hoff =)

    I was kinda ok with the Mustang whoring, and expected that. What I wasn't expecting was the completely and total level of Ford whoring. Almost every other car in the entire show was a Ford brand, with the exception of the SUV that rammed KITT and wrecked, which iirc was a GMC.

    Yeah the only thing I really liked about the show was the pictures KITT would always show to go along with whatever he was talking about, especially the "are you a homosexual?" part.

  I just watched that finally earlier tonight. I'm not sure what I watched, it felt like half of the "actors" were just mere moments away from laughing during the filming of their scenes. It has such potential to be awesome, but they ruined it. I was surprised that I didn't really mind Val's Kit performance though.
  
  Are you a homosexual? lol

    The only thing that matters is that Monica won and hopefully it means we get to see her in more tight spandex next year as a Gladiator.

    I didn't see the show, but I'm assuming you're talking about KITT in your post. The Mustang is not a GM car.

  I read it was a "backdoor pilot", which is a hilarious thing to name anything IMO. I leave the meaning to everyone's imagination and/or photoshop skills.

  Knight Rider was worse than Bionic Woman which is a feat. Bad actors, direction, and script. So disappointed.

  i've been watching the original series on TV while in japan. just saw this version. very transformers. the old one was soo 80's. fucking cool in its ridiculousness and cheesyness. this version tries too hard. the more subtle the car, the cooler it is. the less OMG WOW, the better the show. current entertainment has nfi. all they know about is hype, and how to make a quick buck in one weekend.
