Not sure how to feel about this James Doohan cameo...

[Anticitizen]

Doohan must have been hungry for cash when he agreed to make this pointless cameo - playing himself - in the classic Knight Rider 2000:

On the other hand, it's always a pleasure to see one the classic Trek actors, I guess.

He appeared in promotional emails for PayPal when it first started up too, "beaming" money to people.

Truly a high point of his career.

Any James Doohan moment is great..well except the "Pretty Maids in a Row" one..

that entire movie was creepy..

I remember that scene well. I still have the tv movie on video tape somewhere. Viewing that scene again, I don't think I'll bother to find the tape.

 

[Danny99]

That was mildly funny, but not worth a second viewing.

However did anyone catch Carmen Argenziano (Jacob Carter/Selmak from Stargate) in the bit part there?

 

[Mike Farley]

Hardly the nadir of his career.

 

[Gary7]

I think it was funny... just a couple of times.

Painful...just painful.

It wasn't pointless to Doohan if he got paid for it...the real problem with that scene is just the whole Knight Rider show....how fucking dumb is that!?!?!? I know a lot of you grew up with it and are quite fond of it...but watching it now as adults do you think it sucks? I never liked it...then or now. Watching that was painful because of the kit convo...ugh pull the spark plug on that car and shut it up!

Hardly the nadir of his career.

Painful...just painful.

Oh come on...it wasn't that bad! I mean yeah the show looks pretty bad but Doohan was alright. I even LOL'd when he said out of work again.

I don't even remember this show being on...musta been on for just a minute.

 

[Trekwatcher]

Well, I hope he got paid some money for it, at least.

The original KnightRider ran four seasons. KR2K was a one-shot TV movie that wanted to be a pilot for a new series.

Wow. I totally don't remember those.

Huh...

Don't feel alone, I don't either.

 

[Sir Rhosis]

At the only con I ever attended, Doohan, when asked about the Knight Rider bit, said something to the effect, "They called me, the money was great. I did it."

And yet he didn't do Futurama : (

 

[Mr. Laser Beam]

He was better in Loaded Weapon 1.

Thanks but I was talking about the brothers in space show that doohan was "starring" in.

Unfortunately I do remember Knight Rider...ugh!

Well I guess it's better than the Shat's guest role on Seaquest as a Croatian dictator...

At that point in his life, I don't think he was exactly getting many offers so it's no surprise he took anything he did happen to get.

That show was horrible. I can't believe I lived through one whole episode.
