I’m afraid that whilst you’re right that you don’t have to be nice, you do have be civil, and I believe it’s fair to say that your behavior has been closer to what we would consider trolling thus far.

What’s served you well at home isn’t going to serve you well here, and I would ask that you consider this in the future, as we’re a good bunch, and will in all likelihood be willing to forgive your initial transgressions.

Under the circumstances, I believe that we should all agree to disagree on this, and move on, because if we continue, we’ll simply go round in the same circles that we’ve already covered numerous times this evening.

I'm pretty sure that people will quickly notice my blunt nature.
They're probably soon recognize me as "That Crazy Garth" from the forums.
So before long, I doubt people will mistake me for a troll.

But Garth was blunt, crazy and liked to drive off of cliffs in the KR universe.
Why should my threads be any different?

I enjoy really heated debates..... Perhaps I'll push the envelope.

I do know a fair amount of people from the production side of '82-86, KR2010 and
the new one. I even know an actor (not a series lead) from TKR.
Don't know anyone from KR2000 -- the scumbags shot it in Texas.
But I can sure give some "blunt" insight on most of the KR
universe, production-wise.

I mean, I work out here.....
There ain't no E in Garth, damn it.

Ok I'm going to step in here because this BS is getting absolutely rediculous and end this debate once and for all.

FACT - Garthe didn't star in Knight of the Juggernaut. Your whole arguement hinges on a reference to him. Foster and Gilmer created Garthe in the first place, who the hell is Burton Armus to say they were wrong, let alone you? Burton Armus DID NOT WORK on Knight of the Juggernaut. Check your facts.

Let me lay a little filmography on you

Burton Armus
"Knight Rider" (8 episodes)

Custom Made Killer (6 January 1985) - Writer (writer)
Sky Knight (18 October 1985) - supervising producer
The Wrong Crowd (1 November 1985) - supervising producer
Knight Racer (29 November 1985) - supervising producer
Knight Song (13 December 1985) - supervising producer, Writer (written by)
The Scent of Roses (3 January 1986) - supervising producer
Killer K.I.T.T. (10 January 1986) - supervising producer
Knight of the Rising Sun (14 March 1986) - supervising producer, Writer (story)

Golly gee, where is his credit at? Maybe you got something confused in your little rant there kiddo.

FACT - Robert Foster and Robert Gilmer INVENTED "GARTHE KNIGHT"

FACT - A creator can spell a name anyway he damn well feels like it, that's what makes his CHARACTER NAME UNIQUE.

FACT - David Hasselhoff spells it "Garthe" and he PLAYED HIM.

FACT - 1. GARTH - Also called cloister garth. an open courtyard enclosed by a cloister.
2. Archaic. a yard or garden. IT IS NOT A NAME IN THE ENGLISH LANGAUGE your superior spell checking defense is broken as the context of Garthe's name was not related to the actual definition explained.

FACT - Your snide commentary has gone from inquiring about a misspelling to taking cheap shots at both fans of Garthe, his original creators, and the man who PLAYED him. That's entirely out of line and I would expect you to be discplined for it. You've crossed the line between making a point and being a stubborn thorn in people's side.

FACT - You might have heard from Armus some "people on the crew" mention this alleged oversight but let me clue you in on one very important detail. First and foremost, hearing something second hand is called "hearsay" and it not recognized in a court of law as "factual" information.

Secondly, they don't have the right to tell the writer that his script is wrong, all the crew does is put the show together. The studio brass are the only ones in power enough to influence the writer and if they approved it, it's canon.

So guess what? Your other so called "source" has lost its credibility as well.

FACT - I know Robert Foster, I have his phone number in my cellphone. You want to call him up and tell him he's wrong, I'd love to see you try.

You believe and spell it how you wish to, but leave the rest of us to spell it the way we CHOOSE TO DO IT.

Lastly, I also live in L.A. and you know what? I know the difference between confidence and arrogance and in your case, you reek of it. I'm also blunt but to be direct you have to have more then one reference to try and contridict an entire list of people who disagree with you.

What you have is opinion. You choose to act like a child, I will treat you like one. I also like to debate, the difference is I know how to win them.

Accept that and move on.

I'm going to lock this down for a while so that things can cool off a little. I'll leave the final decision on whether to reopen it until I've had a chance to speak with Neil and/or Mike later on.

Hopefully if we do decide to reopen this a bit later on, things will have had the time to cool off enough for this debate to continue without the visible anger and irritation that's developed within many of us over the last few hours. :good:

Knight of the Juggernaut written by Foster and Armus

Post by HisNameisGarth » Fri Aug 08, 2008 6:21 pm

Way to go for getting the last topic locked and spreading more wrong info.... Nice move
Anyways to correct the false info:

Robert Foster and Burton Armus:
wrote Knight of the Juggernaut.
http://www.tv.com/knight-rider-1982/kni ... mmary.html

IMDb is about as inaccurate as Wikipedia.
I mean seriously, people. Do some research.

IMDb credits Knight of the Juggernaut as being written by Glen A. Larson. :)
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0620846/

Should have raised red flags -- since he dropped off that production at the end of season 1.
There ain't no E in Garth, damn it.

Larson would still be credited for the characters and the fact that he created the show. Your topic was locked for a reason, creating a new one to continue the argument after a MOD told you to stop isn't going to win you any favors.
The new and again improved evil's advertisement is currently too long and too badass to display here. But let's just say that with now 50% more evil, this **** is great! :twisted: :skar:

Ok, you got me there on Burton Armus, touche, you can revel in victory over that singular oversight....

However there is still two problems with your claim.

#1. He was not involved with Goliath or Goliath Returns, he came in after the fact

#2. Again your reference hinges on a reference in a episode that does not involve the character's appearance. You have one single reference compared to two other complete four hour episodes telling you otherwise plus the previous drafts on top of that.

Therefore, even though you are correct about Armus and imdb did not list his "credit" for the episode, he was still involved after the fact of Garthe's creation which makes him quite unqualified to tell Robert Foster and Robert Gilmer that they spelled Garthe's name wrong because Armus didn't come up with the intial concept to begin with. He expanded off of what Foster and Gilmer already started.

Either way, my points still stand and you are fighting a losing battle.

It's GARTHE KNIGHT, live with it.

Whilst I appreciate that this thread was created to correct a mistake, I’m going to lock it down as well before it turns into a full blown continuation of what I was trying to ensure we all avoided. In the interim, I’m going to merge this thread into the existing one, and ask that everyone please adhere to the cooling off period, that way, hopefully we can give the resumption of this thread a chance sometime tomorrow.

Thanks guys. :good:
