Knight Rider in TV Guide Crosswords

Post by Michael Pajaro » Thu Jul 20, 2006 11:22 pm

The August 29, 2006 edition of "TV Guide Crosswords" has the theme "ON the Road Again: TV's Cool Cars". Knight Rider has a brief mention in one of the mini articles:

This is in a separate crossword magazine you'll find at the check-out counter at a supermarket, not the weekly TV Guide. The Dukes, Jetsons, and Batman are on the cover.

Perhaps you could copy that crossword into your computer and then post it here (with a good resolution of course), so that people from other countries can attempt the crossword as well. :)

They don't have a Knight Rider-specific puzzle. Some of the puzzles have a few TV-car related clues in them ("The ______ of Hazzard") but I haven't found any KR clues in any of them yet.

Their are 2 things wrong with that article.

1.Michael Knight was not a cop in the series.

2.He never controlled kitt with his comn link watch.He ordered him to do things.Its not like in James Bon when he used a blackbery-like device to control the cars movement.

Well, it depends on how deep you analyze the article. Michael was a cop in the beginning of the series, but then he got shot in the face and bla, bla...

And as for the use of the com link. You said that he ordered Kitt to do something, which is indeed correct, but the article said that he controlled Kitt to do something, and that's about correct as well. It depends on how you define it. Perhaps it sounds a bit incorrect and gives you the feeling that he controls him with a joystick like James Bond, but the idea is the same.
