  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!

  I thought it was a great show! I was suprised it didn't last. hide « show »

  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!

  5.3 Mediocre

  Not very bad... hide « show »

  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!

  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.

  8.2 Great

  Loved the show with Astor! hide « show »

  I loved the show when NBC originally aired it with
  Joe Astor aka former criminal Michael Payton as the show
  Had chemistry as well as funny! But when it moved to
  First-run syndication, the chemistry wasn't there at all.
  The humor just wasn't there as well. For the actor that played Frankie, he was wasted and stood in the wings for four years! He should had been a major player IMO!
