Knight Rider, best Ford commercial yet:-)
 
Even though it's obviously "sponsored by Ford" it was a great premier and think they will have a good series from what I've seen so far.

You guys enjoy the show?

Spoiler Alert - don't read if you haven't watched it -

The 1 minute appearance from the Hoff was ridiculous, hi I'm your father, well, take care, bye. Would have been too funny if Michael Jr. turned and said WTF man thats all you have to say you dead beat mother fucker, thanks for nothing.

Also I like the only GMC they have in the show is a Denali with no badges anywhere and ends up getting totaled when it hit's the Mustang!

I watched it and thought the show was good. Just as cool though were the commercials. I thought Ford did an excellent job with the entire night. I found myself into the show, then into the commercials, then into the "business" of advertising on a show like this. Of course it was product placement, but DAMMIT did I ever want a Shelby Mustang after this show was done. (And I'm a Firebird guy who hates those silly girly-car mustangs!)

I didn't watch it, and I was never a fan of the original either.

You guys think it will last very long?
Bionic Woman has been cancelled from what I heard.

I really liked it. Had a similar feel to the original, but modernized.

The original show was cheese, but groundbreaking so it worked. This version may not have the same elements, but it was definitely entertaining. I was also glad that they brought the story into present day instead of trying to retell it.

Now when are they going to resurrect Hardcastle and McCormick?

WHY WHY WHY a FORD?????

It was a Pontiac Firebird!!!!! Couldn't it have been a special model even if they don't make it anymore?

Sorry, I hate Fords. Ugly... Even the Mustang... :(

I used to feel the same way... they couldn't have pulled it off in the 80s, but the new Mustangs I don't mind so much.

I actually meant the whole show is product placement for Ford, sorry I guess I wasn't clear.

I guess GM didn't lost enough money this past year they couldn't afford to but the spot. Which is surprising, with the new Camaro coming out I'd have thought it would have been perfect for Kitt

I really enjoyed the premiere and can't wait to see new episodes. That Ford mustang rocks!! Also, I agree with you Kenny B about the Hoff appearance, that was really really lame but the rest of the show was great.

I'm a Ford fan myself, but I agree - If they were going to use a newer car they should have used a mock up of the new firebird or something.
