parentjf Can anyone explain why this KITT car has only been used to entertain people in a TV series when it could have been used more properly to maintain peace and order in a world that really deserve it?!David and his car are such a good team, always backing up each other with an extraordinary connivance. They even take the time to have fun in the midst of all the dangers they find themselves trap into.
Mr-Fusion KNIGHT RIDER was total wish fulfillment for a kid. Who wouldn't want a high-tech explosive car that banters in a haughty voice? And it still works for me as an adult because I like the premise: one guy traveling from one town to the next solving crimes. It's a Western with a sweet ride. Hasselhoff knew how to play the eager-to-please Michael Knight and rocked the hell out of the lanky all-in-black look. Give him some facial hair and a pimp cane, and Garth's probably the most entertaining mirror-universe bad guy on TV. Even when the show was cheesy it was still fun. But it's really about the car. And let's be honest: K.I.T.T.'s an awesome piece of hardware. Sure, he'd have gadgets for whatever the story needed, but half the fun was watching him fly through the air, blast through walls and tear through the streets. He's super fast, ultra sleek and an '80s icon, no question. 7/10
west-78 I have a pet peeve when it comes to TV/movies, and Glen Larson is one of the worst offenders I've ever seen. That is, in a show, when a bunch of characters are watching a video on TV, they sometimes watch video that nobody in the show shot. The video they are watching could only have been obtained by the camera man filming the show. This is a giant blunder!! I've recently seen a few episodes of this show on RTN and there was an event such as this in almost every show I watched. You may argue that KITT has the magical ability to take video where there is no camera, but Larson also did this in Magnum P.I. I think it's more of an M.O. for Larson's work than KITT's abilities. I wonder if he was hoping we were not bright enough to notice.
jonathan45 I remember watching Knight Rider as a child in the eighties ( i was more of a child of the nineties but i was young enough in the late eighties to remember Knight Rider repeats) and falling head over heels in love with Kitt. What child after watching that show didn't pretend to be Michael Knight, hurtling around eighties America, beating up corrupt small town sheriffs or greedy property developers with a a few well placed martial art kicks to the head. And that synthesised theme tune sent shivers down my spine whenever i heard it, my parents sofa was on the receiving end of a few super powered jumps in Kitt as my imagination rode me around the room. As an adult re- watching Knight Rider it is too easy to sneer, David Hasselhoofs cheesy 'son of Fonze' leather and jean outfit and afro haircut and perma tan he really couldn't look more 'eighties cool'. The plots are laughable and paper thin, its the same locations every week and the same stunts. Anyone with even a sense of physics could point out more than a few plot holes and inconsistencies. The role of women in the series is sexist with the script leaving them with little to do but be rescued or provide a 'comedy' put down to Davids aching chat up lines. The fact is these types of shows have been parodied so much no one can take them as anything other than comedy these days, irony has killed them. I find it painful to return to these treasured childhood memories, like the films you saw, music you loved and all the other memoria from childhood revisiting them as an adult is not always wise, you can end up ruining forever those golden memories that provide comfort and a positive communal reference point as you proceed through life. Sometimes is it better not to look backwards.
