I've watched the pilot and I'm not impressed. The only similarity to the original series is a "lone wolf" personality gets a fancy car. That's it...
Where's the humor of the Knight Industries Two Thousand? The voice of this new "Kitt" doesn't work for me.
Neither does the "improved" storyline.
I predict this series will end quickly because it doesn't have enough star power to hold the interest of viewers and doesn't give viewers that nostalgic feeling...I grew up with the original but I'm not seeing much of the original in this poorly done retread.
