Reviews

Sherry Howell And I still enjoy it. I was a senior in high school when this show premiered. Yes, it is absolutely campy, and of course it is not believable, but maybe that's why I like it so much, even today. This show reminds me of Star Trek,the original series in some ways. It's so over the top that you can forget about any idea of anyone getting hurt. You know before the episode even begins that Michael is going to come through, and good will triumph over evil and the bad guy is going to get it in the end. Just like Trek. But that's what I love about it. If I wanted to see reality, I can find another show, or simply walk out the front door. But this kind of show let's you just take your mind off the hook for a while and pretend that everything always comes out right in the end. If that's what you want, you're in the right place.
alexanderdavies-99382 From "Universal" studios, "Knight Rider" was amongst the last American t.v show of its kind. To emphasise this, "Knight Rider" came at a time in the 1980s when American television was changing and in a big way. Shows like "Miami Vice" and to a certain extent "The Equalizer" represented a more violent and gritty kind of entertainment. The above series contains violence that was still of a more "comic strip" variety, there were no swear words and sexual content was minimal. That is all very well and at least "Knight Rider" can be enjoyed by younger viewers in particular. However, the tone of the show meant that it resembled ones from the 1970s where the same kind of content still applied. I like "Knight Rider" for the shows gimmick of a highly advanced car (naturally), for the music, the stories and for the nostalgia. The feature length pilot episode really sets up the shows premise effectively. In a previous life, a police officer called Michael Long is shot during an undercover operation. The bullet is deflected by a metal plate which is inserted into his skull. Now disfigured, he comes into contact with a multi millionaire named Knight who is the inventor of a highly advanced car called "K.I.T.T." Knight is dying and hasn't much time. He lives long enough to see the result of Michael Long having had plastic surgery (now David Hasslehoff). The car is complete and ready. Knight succumbs to his illness in quite a touching scene and leaves the car to Michael Long, now re-named Michael Knight. He seeks those who shot him and exacts revenge in a thrilling 90 minute episode. Everything clicked into place and the shows success was assured. In all honesty, the best episodes are from seasons 1 and 3. Edward Mulhare gives excellent support as Michael Knight's boss, Devon Miles. David Hasslehoff fits the bill in the lead but in some ways, the K.I.T.T car is the star of the show. It is given much personality, courtesy of William Daniels. The car and Knight strike up a lasting friendship and the car's built-in voice circuits, give the impression of a real conversation taking place. Speaking of "K.I.T.T," the car is equipped with all sorts of gadgets and weapons. It is truly one of a kind. The critics weren't all that complimentary to "Knight Rider" but who cares? The public couldn't get enough and the show lasted 4 seasons and nearly 100 episodes. It is a well made show and part of my childhood was spent enjoying the latest crime-fighting by Michael Knight and his unique car.
extragasmoney Knight Rider is a fond memory from my childhood like many out there. Though I was VERY young when it was on air, it still made an impact on my childhood, though maybe not as much as one of Hasselhof's more memorable shows, Baywatch which had a huge impact on my teenage years :) Anyways, Knight Rider made so much of an impact on my childhood, with owning a toy Kitt car, and a Michael Knight figurine, I couldn't help but post about it on a website I recently worked on http://humorousphotos.com/the-best-digital-photo-camera/ though not perfectly in line with digital cameras, Knight Rider was a great show, and is a great part of American nostalgia!
alienworlds You know what they say about 1980's shows...they seemed to employ a sliding IQ scale in that the most popular shows were often the dumbest.This one is a perfect example. DH's character in this one couldn't get a job in a car wash today, but back in the 80's, he was fighting criminals, right and left. A little dim by todays standards....that is one way to put it. Goofy would be another. The car is the best character in the show. I find it amazing how these shows seem to age as time passes. Like a male go go dancer, DH dances from one scene to another, batting his fluttery eyelashes in a way that would make a call girl blush. Well, maybe it wasn't that bad. He was kind of pretty in the show though. I guess pretty counts for something. Like, pass the mascara, man.
