Viper

yes, this was a knight rider re make. but it was way better. i remember watching it on nbc when it first came out. i thought it was a pretty cool show, but it got cancelled. then it came back in syndication, it was still a cool show. it lasted longer than i thought it would.

In the day after tomorrow, the Metrocity became the playground of the criminals. Against that threat, Engineer Julian Wilks created the ultimate police pursuit machine, a Dodge Viper which could morph into a vehicle called 'Defender'. One thing was missing...The driver which could handle Defender's enormous skills. The best driver of the bad guys, Michael Payton, had an accident. He was recovered from death by MetroCity Police, his criminal identity was erased and he became Joseph 'Joe' Astor, a policeman, expert for pursuit. Good Show! Great Effects and good character development! Really nice series were these! Bad to canceled them!moreless

...both the car (loved that red viper) and Jeff Kaake as Tom Cole in the resurrected 1996 version of the show, were hot...even in pre-Paris Hilton terms!

We're not talking Emmy award winning stories or performances for that matter, but I ask you honestly; if you had a hot car that could become even hotter as the Defender AND you had Jeff Kaake to drive it (or pretend to), wouldn't you watch?!

My husband, who is a car freak, was amazed that I knew about the car too, and anytime a girl can score POST marriage points like THAT, well she damn sure better take the opportunity!

So now who's superficial?...moreless

I really only got a chance to watch this show a little but I liked the concept and the story. What I did watch was I thought was great. I'd really like to see this on DVD. There is something about a high tech car that is just really appealing to me.

Like I said, I really only caught a few episodes quite awhile ago when I was actually hospitalized. I've looked everywhere for this show and I can't find it anywhere which really sucks. Trying to fill out a hundred words is tough, I just wanted to say please put this on DVD!moreless

It was such a great show that, I was disappointed when it went off the air. I sure wish there was some where online, that I could read the words to the theme "It prowls the streets. it's origin remains a secret). I so much wanted that car, or even a Dodge Viper, just like I once wanted the K.I.T.T. or a car like it and a Mustang, which is what the K.I.T.T 2008 is- The Knight Industry's Three Thousand, is actually a Mustang Cobra, but it can change into a Mustang pony car. They should make a VIPER movie, or a new VIPER series. They should also make the New Knight Rider into a tv series. Great show, Viper and Knight Rider!moreless
