1) You're nuts, Killer KITT was one of the best episodes of Season 4.

2) 'He has no hummer to him when he is like at lest karr did.' What?

3) This is along the same lines as "What are your least favorite episodes" or "what episodes didn't you like?"

4) I would take out Voo Doo Knight, followed by Knight Song, followed by Mouth of the Snake.

Why?

Voo Doo Knight was an embarassment to the series, completely cheesy, very unbelievable, too much of a 'to heck with it' episode.

Knight Song had no real plot, was a showcase for RCIII, had little to no real action, and had KITT singing. It wasn't a Knight Rider episode.

Mouth of the Snake had little to no Knight Rider in it, had a very disjointed plot, had a hard time with its own continuity, and truly was not Knight Ridery enough to mesh with the rest of the series.

hummer=humor... He's saying KITT didn't have much humor when he was evil, whereas KARR did.


Killer KITT shows up in many people's Top 10 lists, so it is a very unusual choice. I enjoyed it, but I didn't like KITT's voice; it was a bit over-the-top for me.

I'd go along with Knightimmortal with VDK and Knight Song as #1 and #2 least favorite, maybe followed by Knight Flight to Freedom or Knight of the Rising Sun as #3.

well there are far worse episodes then killer KITT. like voodoo knight, for instance. or mouth of the snake, which i think was even worse then voodoo knight.

I'd go with the mouth of the snake too. I couldn't work out what it was about. I think someone wanted to pilot a new series, plugged the characters and then got bored with it.

Making myself unpopular I'd take out the racetrack ones. They're too dull. Racing car get sabotaged, it's the bloke you thought was nice, episode over. It's just an excuse for some F1!

Rotten Apples.

Knight Song.


That's it. Apart from them, I'd keep the rest. I liked VDK and MOTS.

I'd have to go with Scent of Roses. It had a good storyline and all but it was just too mushy. :wink:

I'd also go for Voodoo Knight. Was a shambolic way to end the series, especially with the far superior Scent Of Roses - which for me should have been the last episode. The loss that Michael suffered, and questioning one's faith and future is something I think everyone can relate to.

Sole Survivor.

I don't know why...but that episode is uncomfortable for me... I really don't like it.

I liked Halloween Knight, but only because Bonnie was the damsel in distress ;).

Well not only that, it also was just about the shows only attempt (however pitiful an attempt that was) at a psychologically based plotline. Ya know Bonnie is seeing stuff, is she crazy or is it real...

They've never really tackled that before. Kinda reminded me of the Star Trek TNG epsiode in which Riker thought that he was going crazy. (btw. Off topic, but at some point Gates McFadden needs to play a psycho. She's got the best "insane" expression ever!!!!)

Least favorite, whichever one in which KITT sang. Hate to just repeat what others have said, but that was crap on a lot of levels. Particularly that dance group, that all those middle aged white people just loved to jam too!! ;)

I agree on Voodoo Knight, but I'd add:

Let It Be Me

That was an episode I couldn't even take seriously as a kid, let alone now! Michael going undercover as the lead singer of a charting band?! (Okay, so it was to help David Hasselhoff launch his album, but... no.) One thing it has in its favor -- a good turbo boost. And car chase.

I'm not really a fan of No Big Thing either, but all the bad episodes have their moments. I think Mouth of the Snake would've made a cool hour-long show.

No Big Thing is the best one! It's a Devon centred one, and it has that lovely red Mercedes SL in it. Not to mention Orange Groves. I've always had a thing for orange groves.

I was defending the episode from the one before mine that didn't like No Big Thing. (See above)

How about any episode with April?

j/k.

Seriously, I think Soul Survivor should be taken out. It makes KITT look vulnerable. I don't remember the episode too well, but how could KITT let someone take his CPU out? He's a super car. He should have been able to protect himself.

However, without this episode, you wouldn't have Goliath Returns.

i think the only connection is that margot woman.
but KITT is a computer, and computers can be hacked into.

Computers can be hacked into, but KITT is more than an average computer.

Wasn't it Margot who rebuilt Goliath and busted Garth out of prison? Without her, Garth would still be in prison. She must have found out about Goliath from KITTs memory when she had him.

whoa, ive read a few surprising choices here. soul survivor is usually a favourite amongst fans.

i guess times are changing.

btw,KITT, your 'men' comment about SOR is off. It's my fave episode of the series. :)

I know a few good males who like the episode.
