I have seen the whole series and really enjoyed it. Pure popcorn telly with no intellectual content but some fit birds and a cool car.

Don't get too excited. The series has already been canceled by NBC for terrible ratings.
I watched the series last year in the USA only for the Shelby porn. The acting and story lines were awful.

Catastrophically ste. Too much pointless CGI.

Never a good sign if something premieres on UK Scifi channel, chances are not good for it be decent.

Watched this last night, don't think i'll bother again. Poor story (yes appreciate it's setting the tone etc) too much CG with the changing of shape/colour and the voice of KITT!! so wrong! bring back the camp TransAm. And I detest shows that need the star of the original series to be in the pilot, it's like trying to justify its existance.

Isn't that where Heroes started? Which, until recently was bloody good.

I don't think so - you might be thinking of the USA SciFi channel, which is the complete opposite of ours - it's massively influential, funds a lot of the best stuff.

No, he's right. Heroes was on the SciFi channel here a couple of months before the Beeb bought it. smile I remember becuase I watched the first 2 eps, then kept missing it, then watched it all again when it came onto BBC2.

And on topic, I watched the pilot when it aired in the US a while ago, I tohught that it was fairly good, but nothing hugely special. Nice car though! smile

Ah right, fair play, I stand corrected on the Heroes. Still think that was an exception rather than a rule.

Frankly the first episode was let down COMPLETELY by the promise but then total lack of any lezzing out.
