David Hasselhoff was a big star in the ’80s with Knight Rider, well, at least KITT was a star and he got to drive it around. Then he did some other projects that gained him some fame. Supposedly he’s really famous in Germany as a singer. But has it really come to this? This new video from Australia is just bad… And it’s one of those videos where you’re watching it and you’re wondering if this is really happening. I mean, it just keeps getting worse and worse. I imagine he’s making fun of himself and his past, but this is just bad. And at one point you think the “story” may be redeeming itself a little bit, but then it falls apart, too. I just don’t know why this happened…

uhhhh….
um…
uhhhh….
is it possible to get dumber by watching something? I agree in that I think he was making fun of himself… and I think the ability to laugh at oneself is a quality more people should have… HOWEVER… If you want to laugh at yourself PLEASE keep it PRIVATE… do humanity a favor & keep it to youself… that’s just NOT necessary!

As the mechanic who designed all the special features on KITT, I would have to say that the eject-on-demand feature was certainly a stroke of genius on my part. I just never thought it would be used in such a cool way as to eject an ungrateful chick from the car. Fantastic!

It’s like they weren’t trying very hard, or somethin’…
Hey, Important Mechanic dude, I find your story hard to believe. But if you’ll tell me the secret codes to “hack” KITT so I can take him, I’ll believe you.
Important Mechanic
The secret code is like, your butt, or something. :-p

I just knew my butt had super powers!

Thomas Wayne, if you’re butt has super powers you should be listing that under the ‘super powers’ post… not sure that I care to know what the powers ARE! 🙂

What does it say about someone’s acting when the highlight of their career is playing supporting actor to a talking car?
Nonetheless, it was a pretty cool show… the ’80s did put out a number of great television series…
Mango Man
Yeah, there were some good shows in the 80’s… I was watching some A-team re-runs a day or two ago. It’s amazing how noone ever actually gets shot… I also liked simon & simon, & macgyver, and a plethora of others (transformers… GI joe… etc) for a trip down memory lane check out this link: http://www.retrojunk.com/list_tvshows/1980/pop-1/
anyone remember sledge-hammer? this blog needs a post on just HIM!

To cure depression, a mild case of the blues, or to make spring come sooner, you should watch at least 2 episodes of Sledge Hammer and call me in the morning. Trust me, I know what I’m doing.
