Knight Rider Virtual Season Five
By season four, I think it was fairly obvious that Knight Rider was becoming a bit long in the tooth. As "kewl" as super pursuit mode and convertible mode were, they stretched credibility beyond even KITT's AI. It's probably safe to assume that, had a fifth season ever come about, KITT would have developed even more wacky technological "upgrades."
Let's imagine what a season five might have been like...
Season Five Premiere
Title: "Knightlight"
Synopsis: Garthe Knight returns with a new plan to destroy Michael and KITT! Using long-forgotten files from the Knight Foundation, Garthe has constructed the ultimate battle platform: the Mobile Operating Plutonium Energized Destroyer -- MOPED! A black moped with an artificial intelligence (voiced by Fran Drescher), Garthe's latest armored menace is equipped with a photonic protoplaser. MOPED's photonic protoplaser makes short work of KITT, and Garthe kidnaps Michael and forces him to watch reruns of My Mother, the Car. Meanwhile, back at the Foundation for Law and Government, Devon, Bonnie, RC3, and FLAG's newest engineer, Gerardo Guadalupe (played by Ricardo Montalban), rebuild KITT, equipping our favorite T-top with another new feature -- the ability to transform into a humanoid robot -- the KITTobot (played by Andy Dick). KITTobot rescues Michael, and together they destroy MOPED and send Garthe into a bottomless pit to uncertain doom. RC3's motorcycle is accidentally destroyed, but Bonnie and Gerardo promise to replace it with a high-speed golfcart. As Devon, Bonnie, Gerardo, and RC3 share a hearty laugh, Michael and KITT speed off in KITT's new super duper pursuit mode, in search of new adventures!
Someone write about episode two!

I thought TKR was a KR 5th season in a sense. As for the KITTobot, I've read fanfics where they did KITT into android, robot, humanoid, etc.
Would be interesting. Especially since KITT attracted the girls and Michael ran off with them leaving KITT alone in the parking lot. Then it'd be KITT's turn to get back at Michael for all those years of that.
And maybe KARR would return too... and who would play KARRobot? How about Vin Diesel?
Now THAT would rock!

If there ever were a KITT (or even KARR) android there's what I'd envision it as:
KITT: Played by someone that looks like a rather young Brent Spiner, looking much like this:

KARR: Played by someone that looks like a rather young Vin Diesel, looking much like this:

I think it'd fit.

Hey that's pretty funny - I see fan fiction coming on - but something about KITT becoming, eh, humanoid, is a little not right.

I guess I should have been more clear in my description of KITTobot. By humanoid robot I meant something along the lines of a Transformer -- but a metallic human, rather than resembling a mechanical condor or dinosaur. With computer graphics being practically nonexistent in 1986, KITTobot could be portrayed by an actor wearing a cheesy costume, a la Megazord in the various incarnations of the Power Rangers.
I thought Andy Dick was an appropriate choice given how... um... prissy KITT seems to be at times.

Scroll about two-thirds of the way down this page for some so-so concepts of KITT and KARR as Transformers.

That would be Turbo Teen! It only ran for 12 eps, and those eps are incredibly hard to find. Twas one of my favorite shows back when it ran for the second time in 87 (not too sure on the year).pdennis93 wrote:this reminds me of a cartoon in the early 80s, i dont remember the name, but it had some high school kid who wore a red letterman's jacket, who if he got hot, would turn into a red trans am, and if he got cold, would turn back to a human (or maybe revearse of this, i dont remember exactly)

I don't know about you guys, but for me...knowing how David was a sort of a "lady's man" in his days...he probably had an affair with some of his co-workers on the set. After all, he is good-looking and since he is the star of the show, women will find it hard to resist him when it comes to romance. I'm not saying that he hooked up with Patty at some point in the series, but to me, it would certainly be possible.
