I am just glad Fox gave Conner another chance. It started slow, but I thought it was great by the end of the season. It really stunk that we did not get more episodes because of the strike. I hope the show will really find its legs and that Fox won't pull the plug too fast.

I'm with you kwsupes. I wasn't sure about the whole time travel thing to put them in the presant time, but it did provide for some comedic moments as they were learning about the new wave of technology. I'm asuming that at some point they will be returning back to their original time due to the fact of Connor's age in the movies and the flashes of the future.

I think the REAL surprise here, if there is any, is that David "The Hoff" Hasslehoff is returning to the series. I thought he was just passing the torch in the premiere. I didn't think he'd be coming back. Does that mean we're going to see a new Baywatch spin off down the road and he'll play the father of one of the smokin' hot life guards who manages to get herself into relationship trouble episode after episode but still be happy enough to run along the beach, bouncing around.

I think I have a pitch here... Look out Hollywood here I come... LOL

A question here. Does anybody know if Val Kilmer will be returning to the series as KITT's voice? I hope not. He didn't do it for me. It's one thing to watch a CGI movie where the actor/actress is voicing a character, because usually the character acts and looks a little like the voice actor themselves so it fits, but listening to Kilmer trying to be a sentient A.I. car . . . . nope. Couldn't get my mind around it.

I was pleased when Fox Announced a 2nd season of the SCC. The show's awesome. I can't wait to see a 2nd season.

As for the Knightrider, if The Hoff is back i'll watch it lol Othewise who cares.

Ideal plot arc for KR Season 1: The Hoff pretends to the loving father, all the while secretly sabotaging his son, cuz he wants his old job back, having been fired for being drunk in a notorious internet video! The season finale has The Hoff diging the original KITT out of storage to runover his son. Unfortunately, he has few too many beforehand and ends up drives off a cliff. KITT trys to hit the brakes but since it's been 20 years since he's had a tuneup his reflexes aren't what they used to be. Needless to say The Hoff ends up hanging off the cliff holding on for dear life. Eventually, his son finds him and pulls him up. Just as they are about to hug The Hoff grabs him and chucks him off the cliff to his death! Then The Hoff draws on a goatee with a sharpie and evil laughs! -End Scene

Is the Hoff going to be a regular on the new Knight? If so I will be there every week without fail. Also, I liked Billy. Glad to see he's getting work.

NotAFan- A Garth story, eh? Very clever twist there.

I have to agree with Kilmer not being the best voice. There wasn't even one line of "You, You're dangerous!" He was kind of a last minute replacement though. Maybe hell get better as the show goes on?

I wish they hadn't canceled New Amsterdam
