I'm not going to watch this expecting something similar to the 80's TV series. Heck, it's got a different creative team behind it and David Hasselhoff only has a cameo. If it's good and gets ordered to series, then I'll probably watch the series as well.

I watched it for 5 minutes and they showed the cobra symbol on the car more than the actors. Also, every car on the the road was a ford or a ford own product - saw a focus, the edge, a fusion, a volvo, and a Land rover. It is amazing that this piece of shit got to air.

Yes, the old show was cheese but it was fun. So far this has been anything but fun. Just bring on the Hoff so I can change the channel.

Overall... it was quite nostalgic. I felt like I was back in the 80s.
I could tolerate this show as a series.
Hopefully we get that chance.

Okay, a boy and his Mustang on missions around the world. And the goofy looking friend as the mechanic. This could be a fun series, if it gets picked up.

They should have had the old KITT pull up, all banged up and dusty, one headlight not working. Door opens, some 80's rock is blasting from the car stereo, Hoff steps out wearing the "doesn't quite fit like it used to" black leather jacket he used to wear every week and sporting that kickass haircut from back in the day. I would have marked out to that.

This is show a weird time warp at times with its cheesiness and updated technology. But I lurve the new "Bonnie" (Sarah), she's almost worth enduring the rest of the show, though the new Mike is a bit on the dopey side, but at least he's not as cheesy as the Hoff.

This is the closest we've seen to an 80s TV show (sans sitcoms), other than some odd shooting/editing/CGI choices, it plays just like a cheesy 80s TV show. I love it. I'll watch it.

They kept talking about the other car I thought they might show it. But, at the same time, according to "Canon" it was destroyed.
