When KITT got his last overhaul during the fourth season, I would have either gone with just Super Pursuit Mode or just the convertible, but not both. Probably SPM, but that's just me.

How about actually putting labels on some of the console buttons, instead of just having a panel of blank controls? One of these days, that could cause problems for Michael.

Well, I don't really know all that much to change about him. He is fine basically the way he is. But I think he would need to have a voice that sounded more like a soldier. I thought it was kind of dorky for him to sound like an old man. But that was probably just to give William Daniels something to do with his career.

Uh, most people LIKE William Daniels as KITT's voice, and if they gave him the sound of a soldier then that would have totally defeated the whole purpose. He WASN'T a soldier, he was a tool, and a partner.

And before you make derogatory commentary like that, you might want to get your facts straight. William Daniels wasn't exactly an old man, and he actually did have a pretty good career going at the time.

So excuse me for having an opinion. It was just an idea. I like William Daniels as the voice to KITT too. But I'm just saying if I could change something about him, I would make the voice sound more like someone who wanted to be a fighter. I'm no expert on this stuff. I just watch the show.

There is an opinion, and then there is just being derogatory for attention's sake, and the comment about William Daniels acting career was just that.

And I would suggest that you curb the sarcastic toned wording, too.

I'm not going to argue with you. You're the expert. From what I've heard, you make your own websites and help write books on KR. That is why I'd like to converse with you on the subject. So you could help me understand some of this stuff.

One thing I'd change would be his voice, I like KARR's voice better. So I'd give him KARR's.

That's what I was trying to say. Peter Cullen's voice doesn't really sound evil. But I don't know exactly what Paul Frees sounds like cause I haven't seen that one yet. But according to people who have, it sounds more evil than before.

I have a couple of audio files of KARR's voice, among my favorites are his intro and "I do not wish to go back to the slammer!" That was funny. Oh yeas MKnightRider82, his voice sounded more thunderous and "Darth Vaderish" in KITT vs. KARR, I think now I prefer the original KARR voice now that I think about it. Though it was kind of cool hearing a different kind of KARR voice. KITT's voice sounded creepy (but kinda neat) when it was all evil. What episode was that when his voice sounded all evil? "Killer KITT"?

I've never seen KILLER KITT. But I sure would like to someday. I wonder what he sounds like when he is evil? His voice was the same in CHARIOT OF GOLD.
