As you may know, NBC is attempting another entry in the “reimagination” series of shows and movies, by far the most awesomest of which is Battlestar and the most shitty of which is Fantastic Four. That said (and having only seen the pilot of the Terminator TV show — it’s just OKAY) I’m pretty psyched to give the Knight Generation 2 a fair shake. John Marshall will flip out when he learns that the new KITT is a Mustang Cobra. Trivia: Will “GOB” Arnett was originally slated to be the voice of KITT, and Bruce “That information is given on a need to know basis and at this point in time you do not need to know” Davison is KITT’s kidnapped inventor. Nice. I auditioned for the role of the new Michael Knight, but they said they needed my energy in the audience.

Do you know who is the voice now? Val Kilmer. Will Arnett was replaced because he’s done commercials, and has a contract with GMC. Conflict of interests…
Yup, good call. Mad Mardigan is now KITT!
I’d prefer Jim Morrison as KITT! (“I am the lizard car!”). But seriously, Sandy, what did you think of the “reimagination” of The Bionic Woman? Out of 6 coworkers polled, 3 loved it and 3 hated it. You?
Testpilot — liked the Bionic Woman for 2 reasons — 1.) it co-stars Starbuck from Battlestar, and 2.) it just plain looks like Battlestar. I will say, though, that although I enjoyed the pilot, I didn’t really get hooked. What did you think?
I have three kids and it’s my job to get the two youngest to bed. The greatest joy in my life is reading to my kids, be it a Tim Egan book (“Serious Farm” is a kid-lit masterpiece) or a Simpsons comic book (which I praise only because my son became motivated to read after discovering Simpsons comic books, much like I got motivated to read after discovering Hulk comic books. Ironically, Len Wein, who created the superhero Wolverine in an issue of The Hulk, is now writing Simpsons comic books). Then I spend the rest of the evening looking for better day jobs online. Therefore, I have very time to watch TV. But I’m making my list of DVDs to rent after the kids have left the house, and that’s why I poll coworkers. So far, “Battlestar” and “Firefly” are at the top of the list.
Firefly is awesome. I watched the entire dvd set during month 1 of my oldest daughter. If only TV could find room for shows like that for more than one season.
I’ve heard great things about Firefly. Get Battlestar, Testpilot — at least get the pilot 2-hour episode. Battlestar is one of the best shows in the past decade. Connor will back me up on that one. Connor? Connor?
