True. I guess it's easy for me to sit here and complain about tv shows and movie ideas, but it's not my money that's being ponied up and invested in the hopes that people will watch.

But do the TV people seriously think that a show like the new Knight Rider will be popular again?! We had much less entertainment to choose from in the 80's, so we were sort of a captive audience.
