Shame. As a teen I absolutely loved Airwolf to bits.
Me too. Lots of violence, and whatever the plotline, the episode always managed to end in a dogfight.

The new Knight Rider has potential, but the concept is being very poorly executed. The first episode had Kitt surviving a missile hit, speeding down the road on fire with two semi naked people inside the car - and they still managed to make it uncool.

Yes, they put it in a airtight tunnel to put out the tunnel. They should have gone with the first plan, the speed down the highway as fast as possible. would have made for a cooler scene.

Or have Kitt turbo boost into some water - there must have been a park or swimming pool in range somewhere.

That's what I thought when I saw it. But I think it may have been in a tunnel. I may be wrong though. And the transforming in front of everybody was kinda weird. I hated the train station scene when he jumped out of KITT, because it was horribly done.

I love the original Knight Rider. Got all four seasons on DVD. One of these days, I wanna write a crossover between that, Macgyver, A-Team and Airwolf.

Man, what villain could possibly stand up to that team? :P

Macguyver would never sign up - Knight Rider has too much technology, the A-Team too many guns, and Airwolf too much of both.

Is Henry Moffet from Airwolf?

And yeah, Decker. That's one of the generals! Thanks, kostmayer. :)

Ah, thanks. Never seen any of the show, although I wanna get it on DVD.

Okay, that group teams up and this time, one man can't make a difference. Michael Knight need... well, the other three. Mac, the A-Team and Airwolf.

And then murdered the design team, and gave Archangel his pirate patch. He was evil, which should have been blatantly obvious to everyone else if only because he was called Dr and was played by an English guy.

Oh, come on. Donald Pleasance was a good guy (sort of) in Halloween, and Dr. Dysart is the lesser of the evils (or rather strangenesses) in Equus.

Speaking of which; how much odder can it get than Harry Potter and his uncle starring in Equus? That's like June Cleaver doing a porno.
