Actually, in "Killer K.I.T.T." towards the end of the episode when Michael and R.C. are chasing Berio, the camera pans across the Hero Car's dash and you can see it still says "Normal Cruise." Also, there's a good shot in "Hills Of Fire" when the bum is trying to ask K....

One thing regarding the Seasons 3/4 dashboard: The above shot is actually of the Season 4 mock-up dashboard and has K.I.T.T.'s voice modulator slightly crooked to the right with the word "Normal" instead of "Normal Cruise." In fact, the entire reason for that small change (along ...

Dr. Ian Browning worked under Dr. William Albert as a CPU specialist designing K.I.T.T.'s systems. However, at some point he was approached (perhaps by Austin Templeton) to award grant money to shady, inactive, corporations, in return for $5 million dollars for both he and Templeton. Both men teamed...

That's an awesome find. I'm definitely glad that epiosde never saw the light of day. As KITTfan mentioned, it was already a stretch to have K.I.T.T. ride on water in "Return To Cadiz" although it was meant for only that particular episode. But then we also had K.I.T.T. being able to drive ...

Yes, it is a known error on NBC Universal's part why those teasers are inexplicably missing. However, you can view the teaser for "The Scent Of Roses" streaming on Netflix's instant queue. Unfortunately the same can't be said for "Knight Song" as that particular episode isn't ava...

Cool find. Looks like she sold the idea to Wilton Knight...

I skipped over most of Mike's overview (for now) to avoid spoilers. But I have always been a huge fan of the Comedy Central Roasts (raunchy as they may be) for years. I guess now that I think about it, the jokes really do fall into those three categories but still I find that they are some of the be...

Thanks for that explanation. Another thought has come to me, why does Michael refuse to drive back for the "All Systems Diagnosis?" Surely, KITT, the computer, has been shut down (whether that is the whole system, or just the voice aspect), whereas the Knight 2000,the car, is still operab...

knightmanbas, As for your first question, I believe what Michael actually was shutting down was K.I.T.T.'s Speech Synthesis Mode. This is a single button on the switch pod as one of K.I.T.T.'s features. (He also uses this in the following episode, "Out Of the Woods.") The only mystery is w...

Ford.

The timeline between the different versions of Knight Rider is a bit sketchy, and some aspects contradict one another. The timeline (in chronological order, not the order in which each production was made) is as follows: ● Knight Rider , officially August of 1982 to some point in 1990 (according to ...

I've always preferred Paul Frees' version of K.A.R.R., both in terms of the voice and the fleshed-out character development. He had a lot of time to analyze and interpret during those two years in the salt water. I like his evolution as it's similar to K.I.T.T.'s where he sounded more computer-like ...

Does anyone have a hi-res copy of the scene in Pheonix when you see the full dash for the first time, with his hands on his jeans? I want it as my desktop wallpaper. I have PowerDVD but I just cannot get a screenshot. If anyone can get one at least 800pixels tall, that would be good. Here's a scree...

Correct me if I am wrong - but at the opening sequence of season two, when you are watching everything on KITTS right hand screen, isn't that a bigger monitor and not hexagonal? I do understand what you mean though. Most times you get closeups they are the hex ones. I ought to look at the Pilot aga...

I've read in many places here about Season 1 only having one hero car, and a few stunt cars. But - why have I seen two different monitor setups? One is where the surround of the monitors are hexagonal. And one where they sort of 'bulge out' of the dash, with pretty much no surround. In fact, the KO...

I had the distinct impression while watching Knight Rider as a kid that K.I.T.T. was always the most interesting looking car on the road, as he should be. Whether it was the car designs of the 1970s & '80s, or simply the way the production crew shot the show, to me every single other car on the ...

Wow, I'm pretty surprised how accurate the replica they used is. Seems like more attention to detail went into that short commercial than the entire relaunch of the new Knight Rider. Great commercial, thanks for sharing.

What a strange twist.. I never knew his wife was called Bonnie.. :D Yeah, actress Bonnie Bartlett, to be exact. She also played Mr. Daniels' wife on St. Elsewhere and Boy Meets World . He and his wife were also the second married couple to ever win Emmy Awards on the same night. They were, however,...

Hey, nice shot of that interior. It's even more horrible than I thought!!! Yellow, blue and purple stripes?!?

This Batmobile is definitely a different vehicle than the one in that link. I took the information with a grain of salt because I spotted a few inaccuracies from the Batmobile in the original movie. I wasn't sure because for all I know it could have some refurbished parts and restoration work done t...

So I caught the Auto Show yesterday and caught a glimpse of this...car. Apparently they all belong to a private collector and the Batmobile was supposedly one of 7 screen-used cars and is built upon a Corvette chassis. I don't have any pictures better than the ones already posted, but they did add a...

That's always bugged me how kids rebuilt K.I.T.T. after all those other destructions where scientists rebuilt him. I would say that the mechanics were able to do it because they had existing parts to work with and more or less worked on the basic car functions (axles, pounding out dents, sanding the...

William Daniels as K.I.T.T. Peter Cullen reprised the role of Optimus Prime in the Transformers films as well as K.A.R.R. (whatever the hell version of him it became) in the 2008 Knight Rider and it worked out fine (in terms of the voice, at least). And it's certainly much better than the all too ty...

I have to make it a point to get there this time!

I can only imagine how disheartening it is to have an idea all worked out only to have to completely abandon it. Can one now assume that the movie will no longer essentially be a remake of the Pilot episode?

I guess the Weinsteins' only hope is another Quentin Tarantino movie...
