You may notice that Knight Rider features rather prominently on her website. It appears that she's just as proud of her KR work as we are of her! Looking great, April...I mean...Rebecca.

I like it, especially since you apparatently used a car you already have, all except the neon and the headlight covers. Blue is cool with the white.

DK

...I think that was the air cleaner cover. But you're right in principle. Turbines also don't sound like big V8s on takeoff, but KITT does most of the time, until he reaches higher speeds. Then the "whine" of the turbine takes over more. I think it depends on whether you're talking about a...

Yes, I believe you are right. Now what's the name of the circuit that makes him play strange music when shocked by an obscenely huge amount of electricity?

The frame would be the tuning fork, which would, in theory, vibrate upon impact with another object. The tires, wheels and suspension would be like the hand that stops the resonation of the tuning fork after it has been struck. I understood what you meant, though. Strange, isn't it, that in the show...

I wish Terri and John Paul II the best in the next world...but shouldn't this topic be in the Lounge or something?

DK

The interesting thing about all of this is that, in order to crash through the rigid barriers as he did in the show, KITT would have had to have very high rigidity. That is, any flexing would have absorbed part of the energy necessary to penetrate other rigid objects. Yet, materials with higher yiel...

I liked Bonnie in sexy dresses, but I don't know if she would have looked right in extra short shorts... Anyway, let's give the Dukes some credit, eh? As a West Virginia native, I speak for all the males (and most of the females) in this state when I say that the General trumps every car out there f...

KITT and Jane sitting in a tree k-i-s-s-i-n-g, haha. Ok, here's what this is all about. Orson Scott Card, the author of the much-acclaimed Ender Wiggin series which begins with Ender's Game , wrote a sequel entitled Speaker for the Dead . I need not go into all the details, but in this book, a senti...

Hmmm. Well, I originally intended to go to college to learn computer science. However, Marshall University doesn't exactly have the greatest comsci department. It does, however, have a quite respectable English department. Having long since fallen in love with chivalry (even when I didn't know it) d...

Well, DH's acting might have a distinctly sharp cheddar flavor, but I have to give MK a little credit for having more brains than some have said. It was he in TDR that figured out how to defeat KARR, when neither Devon, KITT nor Bonnie had a better solution. In Give Me Liberty, he remained on the ca...

In my mind's eye I see something black, something sleek...wait! It looks like a 1982 Trans Am! Nah, that's just to fool everyone, it's really a...1982 1/2 Trans Am with something swooshing back and forth in front, kind of like those things at the supermarket--what are they, scanners? Hmmm, I'll have...

Hello. I'm 23, a grad student at Marshall U in West Virginia, currently working on my Master's in Education (I undergraded in English, though perhaps it doesn't show). I was barely old enough to see the original KR run, but I didn't really understand it very well until the reruns began on WGN, USA, ...

Slightly OT, but do you find the steering controls on Mario Kart: Double Dash just a bit touchy?

Speaking of likes for 2005 and KR, I'd like to see Patricia MacPherson win her fight to save Ballona and declare an interest in playing a large role in the new movie. Continuing on, I'd also like to see a KR game for Gamecube, and a re-release of KR lunchboxes...I'd be the envy of everyone at the un...

I made the distinction because I'm not sure any studio will actually take it up.
You made the prediction that a studio will take on Knight Rider this year.
I just think we'll know one way or the other this year, but I have no idea which way it will go.

DK

I'm not as confident as Mike that a studio will definitely take the job this year, but I do believe we'll know for sure whether the movie is going to be put into production before the year is up. That's my rather conservative prediction.

DK

I apologize if this has been mentioned before but I noticed a serious of suspicious coincidences in the episode. It features a bright orange charger driven by two redneck guys--one blonde, the other darker--who have rebel flag patches on their shirts, like the General had on its roof. Am I just loon...

ditto

I would like to see these bike attachments too. Is it an LED bar for the front or something?

And Neps, it's always good to swing by when I can. My, what I'd give for some fresh KR movie news!

DK

Hello all. As most of you are well aware, KITT incorporated turbine technology in his powertrain as a means of obtaining high power and efficiency levels in a small package. Some home builders actually make turbojets and turboshaft engines from old car and diesel turbochargers to power karts like th...

I got DVD Season 1, Doo Dah, Doo Dah!!!

YAY!



DK

There is practically no limit to the amount of heat that a laser or array of lasers can produce given that light has minimal mass and you can fit an almost limitless number of light waves in a certain amount of space. Therefore, you can fit an almost infinite amount energy in a space. Scientists in ...

My biggest problem with Knight Rider is that the shows were not long enough. Only an hour per episode just doesn't satisfy my KR hunger!

Rock on KRonies

DK

So, Mr. Long, you say you're the real deal. Tell me then, which of these was more exciting: singing with Pat Benatar or turboboosting over the Hoover Dam?

We'll see what you have to say now!
