I liked it!! Yes it was a BIT of a Ford commercial, but not TOO bad - actually all the Ford commercials over the breaks was the most annoying part. Especially when Mike started advertising the features of the Focus (a definite, bona-fide chick car) during the spots...
But I liked the story, I liked the action - some of the driving shots were pretty sweet. Like when he hit "max speed" to LV and started getting air-streaking over the body. Tacky special effects maybe, but it was cool.
What I read was that they're going to gauge interest, and if people respond well to the pilot, they will proceed with more episodes. I for one give it the green light. I hope others will.
How anyone could get serious and excited over such crap is beyond me. A waste of time on meaningless nothing, get real.................
That cuts me to the quick, WS. I gotta be honest.
The reason I HAVE a Barracuda, the reason I'm here on this board is because of the significance a 'Cuda played in my youth. Knight Rider was another show I enjoyed in my youth - in fact, long before the Barracuda was even significant to me. That's why I'm excited for it. It means something to me - it's a revival of my childhood.
Let me ask this at least - would you rather I jump on the board and chat about a car show like Knight Rider, or yammer on about who's going to win American Idol or Celebrity Apprentice - two shows that I think contribute to the "dumbing down" of mankind. All I mean to say man is there's no need to go calling people stupid because of what they like to watch on TV.
