So given the critical mauling that I and others gave it, what does the running show deliver that’s different? A few things, but what really staggered me was that that they’ve been able to nimbly limbo under the incredibly low bar that the pilot set, as the running show is actually worse. I’ll go as far to say that this is actually worse than a really bad Hoff era episode, and that’s saying something. There’s an opening scene where Mike Traceur and Sarah Graiman are trapped inside KITT who’s on fire after been struck by a missile. Naturally, they’re forced to take their clothes off. I’d explain more, but it’s moronic… And then we have some of the ‘supporting’ roles, sheesh. I thought characters that flaccid and two dimensional had disappeared along with The Love Boat, but alas I was wrong as we’re knee deep in them here. What’s also added is a story arc about Mike, lost memories and erased identities that’s dumber than a bag of spanners, but let’s not go there. This was 45 minutes of my life I’ll never get back, which I’ll add to the time I spent watching the pilot. They’ve concocted a TV show here from the repressed memories of 80s TV that most 7 year olds will consider ‘lowbrow’.
