Knight Rider---Series Debut posted on Hulu.com---"A Knight in Shining Armor"
In case you can't wait until next Wednesday, Knight Rider's series debut has been posted on Hulu.com early. I believe Lipstick Jungle and several other NBC shows will make their way on there soon.

Watched about 25+ minutes since I have to get some shut eye.
The only complaint I have is there is way way too much CGI and Green Screen used.
Since this is a Gary Scott Thompson production, it doesn't surprise me that there is lots of eye candy. Deanna Russo is smoking hot and I was really surprised to see Paula Garces from The Shield.
I'll finish it up later, but it looks like a really goofy show with some decent action like the 80's version. GST needs to tone down the CGI big time, I can see that getting really annoying if he overdoes it.

The premiere episode was pretty bad, as was expected. In a way it was quite a feat. They managed to take a show that was already set up by a 2 hour miniseries, pack in 3 times the exposition of a normal pilot and still have me completely confused about what the hell was going on.
I was watching some of the original episodes over the weekend and while it was chock full of 80's cheese I still admired the stunt driving. Not so much the set pieces (turbo boost through flatbed full of empty oil drums, etc) but just having a couple of real cars racing through suburbs or the hills of San Francisco, power sliding around corners and catching a little air on the bumps. If the new show would use 10% of their CGI budget and 2% of their crappy dialog airtime to shoot some real cars driving on real roads it would make the show much better.
