anyome watching the premier tonight? I grew up on this in the 80's and am quite dissapointed so far almost half way thru the episode......it's like watvhing a FORD commercial for 2 hours........couldnt they get a P-Car instead of a mustang?

I wonder if the original was this lame, and I was too young to realize it.......

I'm disappointed too. It started with some decent T&A but it got lame in no time. I was hoping for a rip-off of the Transformers car/driver vibe but it's almost unwatchable.

The first one was pretty lame too, but it was entertaining in it's lameness.

It will probably cancelled shortly and I didnt even watch it.

A classic tv show should stay where it belongs---in the archives and re-runs.

The original was PLENTY lame, but not much more so than the rest
of it's peers of that era.... Fantasy Island, Hardcastle & McCormick,
The Equalizer, The Greatest American Hero...

All TV had large fromage factor at that time.

It was alright and no worse than the original show. The girl is hot but a little clingy. Now if they bring back Magnum PI I might complain as I actually liked this show.

Magnum PI is a world apart from the rest. Magnum shot a ninja
IN THE FACE because he blinked! THAT'S good programming.

I loved Hardcastle & McCormick, but I was just a kid. That little kit car was great.

Basically, with these types of shows, I don't watch much of the story. Just the parts when the car is doing something (like a chase).

Not to impressed. It seamed the Old Kitt had a lot more going for it. The new one has no weapons at all? It didn't have the humor of the old Kitt.

Yes, Fords all over, I love how the car is super fast, & has all these other things in it, but a stock SUV can keep up on a mountain road.

I found the girl really hot, very pretty eyes!

The car used in one show really screwed me up for the rest of my life. Magnum P.I.

show was way lame.. my 5 year old . who LOVES fast cars said .. "Daddy this show is lame.."

although I liked the morph sequencing on the car.

More fun to watch is the TERMINATOR SARAH CONNOR FILES show.. that takes a good Carolco premise and makes it relatively enjoyable.

But the 300 chick was hotter in the movie
