I've never liked their truly-nauseating announcers you know. Placing that aside, a few meagre offerings of value have appeared on this channel. But none were British, and all were treated badly. And now, the latest sacrilidge:
They've started streaming Knight Rider at Weeknights at 7pm. This, you may recall, is a fondly-recalled 80s show that ran about 45 mins.
They're showing it in 25 minutes.

We're talking so many cuts you can't follow a damn thing. This isn't editing, it's bastardisation.
God help us if they ever secured rights to something really important. So, I say, death to channel 5.

(I shall also place a bounty on the head of all it's continuity announcers. Effective immediately.)

You know, havgng Knight Rider cut down to 25 mins. may be the best thing to ever happen to that show...short of cancellation of course.

My childhood was typical: summers in Rangoon, luge lessons. In the spring, we'd make meat helmets. When I was insolent, I was placed in a burlap bag and beaten with reeds. Pretty standard, really.

Ahh, Knight Rider. When David Hasselhoff wore clothes and had an even worse haircut.

Okay, I'll join in the death to Channell 5 movement, and soon as I've finished off GMTV.

Knight Rider. Oh, blessed Knight Rider. I watched it when I was a kid in elementary school. And I also saw it in junior high and high school in reruns. I also watched Team Knight Rider. In fact, I've seen too many episodes of Knight Rider too many times to even be considered a good driver. Oh well. SCREW THE !@#$%^&* that cut down Knight Rider!
