Jeers: A Not-So-Good Knight Rider
Justin Bruening by Mitch Haddad/NBC
Jeers to
Knight Rider for stalling at the starting line. I was never a fan of the original '80s series - in the Hasselhoff canon, my taste veers more to
Baywatch - but it was more entertaining than this crap-tastic remake. As the voice of KITT 3000, the monotonous Val Kilmer sounded like he literally phoned in his performance (original choice Will Arnett, who had to drop out due to a sponsorship conflict, would've been more fun). New driver Justin Bruening is one bland slab of beefcake, and the special effects looked slapped together on roughly the catering budget for
Transformers. Seriously, the Hoff's drunken-burger video was less embarrassing.
