Fond memories of Sunday evenings as a kid with a bowl of popcorn and Knight Rider on the console television flooded to the front of my mind during the opening sequences of NBC’s new Knight Rider re-make.

That is until the first scene included an alluded-to same-sex love scene.

So much for family values being one of the pro’s of the new show.

Poor acting, awkward moments, and a shape-shifting car that is way-less realistic than the KITT I grew up with left us hoping for more – WAY more. NBC is kind of sketchy as to whether this is going to be a regular series it seems. I haven’t read enough to see what the new Knight Rider ratings were, but I can assume that the cameo by David Hasselhoff probably made it’s way to YouTube by now!

You want a heart-pounding, sweat-inducing, gut-wrenching, nervous-making television show to enjoy with your spouse? Season 3 of Prison Break was all of that and more for Jess and I.

Tonight was the season finale. Of course it was open-ended – I expected nothing less. There were a few curve balls thrown my way even though I thought I had it “all figured out” – which makes me all the more excited about the start of Season 4.

Confession: Jess and I have NOT seen even PART of season’s one or two and are STILL in-the-know-enough to enjoy this entire season. If anyone ‘local’ has access to the Season 1 & 2 DVD sets, please let us know!

The premise of Season 3 is exactly as it sounds – breaking out of prison – in Panama. It’s hot, it’s difficult, and of-course dangerous. We’re hooked and hoping for numerous seasons following this one!

Tonight we had DVR’d the premier episode of “My Dad is Better Than Your Dad” on NBC. After the amazing season finale of Prison Break I should’ve known that it would take substantially more than this new show to keep me entertained.

The show is a bust.

Jess says that maybe families with kids around the same age as the kids competing on the show will enjoy it, but I’m not so sure. It was hard to watch – boring even!

Even seeing that Mark Burnett created the show was disappointing – I have come to expect better from him.

Did you watch? What did you think?

I got tagged by Ken Wilson for a 123 Meme. The rules:
– pick up the closest book (no cheating to find a cool one)
– turn to page 123
– read the first 5 sentences
– post the next 3 sentences
– tag 5 people

“Why do you say that?”
“I’m not very thankful for the little things. The gifts, or I guess I should call them offerings, that come my way every day.”

Why not join the fun. I tag Jess, Kory, Jason, Glen, and Deanna.
