Hey friends!

In the spirit of the 30th Anniversary Week, I thought it would be cool to resurrect a post I made two years ago suggesting ideas for the "Knight Story"

Knight Rider wasn't as episodic and arc heavy as other shows, but there are key episodes that provide insight into the story behind Michael, KITT, FLAG, Bonnie, etc.

Here is what was thought of in that original discussion:

Knight of the Phoenix
Trust Doesn't Rust
White Bird
A Plush Ride
Hearts of Stone
Goliath
Merchants of Death
Soul Survivor
Knightmares
Goliath Returns
A Good Knight's Work
Let It Be Me
Knight of the Drones
Knights of the Fast Lane
KITT vs KARR
Knight in Disgrace
Dead of Knight
Junk Yard Dog
Knight of the Juggernaught
Knight Sting
Killer KITT
The Scent of Roses

And then to continue the story beyond and include the "what-ifs" by including Knight Rider 2000 and the Knight Rider 2008 PILOT ONLY (which contradict each other with their storylines).

Thoughts? Additions? Someone did suggest Lost Knight, but I felt that was just so weak and campy, definitely a low point in the series, nothing like Soul Survivor. Knight Song, while showing the SLIGHTEST bit of RC3's backstory was also a low point as well.

I thought the episode Knight Song which did discuss RC3's backstory was very important to the show's message that one man truely can make a difference.He went back to his old stomping grounds and cleaned up his community.He raised awareness in his neighberhood and made a difference.
