Knight Rider - Again?

I mentioned in a previous post that I am a fan of the 80s TV show, Knight Rider. I remember as a young lad having a cool little black t-shirt featuring K.I.T.T. flying through the air. Even had a little Hot Wheels K.I.T.T. of my own. Who didn't?

Well, NBC has a Knight Rider sequel scheduled to air later this month. I'm not overly optimistic, based on recent "remakes" (Dukes of Hazzard???) but we'll see. I'm not a fan of current TV, to be sure. Perhaps this one will be different?

(Yes, I am forever the optimist...)

Speaking of re-makes. I did watch a free episode of Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles via iTunes a couple weeks ago. Actually... it was the first current TV show in recent memory that I have watched and kinda liked. (Well, besides Monk. Jen & I do really like that one.) I'm not sure I'll pay to watch it. I might try and TiVo an episode or two. We'll see. Surprising that I like a show made by Fox. Haven't so far.

In other recently watched recommendations, I also watched the Rocky Balboa movie and liked it. How can you not like Rocky? (That was sort of a remake as well, I suppose!) And Jen & I watched We Are Marshall together. Both thought it was a very good movie. Just ... sad, though. No way around the sadness of that story. Kinda sad and... inspiring? But... sad.

Stuff to stay away from? I decided to watch 2001: A Space Odyssey since I knew it was a classic and I think Netflix recommended it based on my Sci-Fi preferences. Well... I gave it two stars. It was very, very weird. The reason I gave it two was that it was certainly ... creative? Yikes. Very strange movie. :-) I also got a free episode of a TV show called Kyle XY. I knew it was sci-fi themed, but forgot that anything from the ABC Family network is too... "drama" for me. Do not recommend.

Oh yeah. I also got to see a bit of what is apparently a classic - Krull. :-) Never heard of it, but my friend John was laughing at me for having watched it I think. :-) He described it as a cheesy Saturday afternoon, nothing better to show on TV kind of movie.

I'd recommend staying far away from that one as well.

And there you have, this week - or two - in entertainment from GregsHead! :-)
