In the begining of the commercial, KITT speeds down the road and does his famous turn, he then talks to everybody on tv about calling his 976-2233 phone number and say's that he has stories about him and Michael. I remember calling this number before and KITT talked so fast that i didn't really get a chance to hear everything..A month later, my parents got the phone bill we got a 90 dollar phone bill just calling KITT and that dumb Hallowenn number. Anyways, if anybody can remember this, please post your thoughts..Thanks

I sort of remember it, but I was 14 at the time, and I thought it was some sort of trick on TV or something.....
I think it was NBC's way to get people to watch "Knight Rider" for the most part.

$90.00 for a call or two?! You mean the call pushed the existing phone bill up that high, right?

Hehe, your parents probably thought you were hooked at a porn number. They probably didn't believe you were really trying to contact KITT through the telephone

That is pretty funny that they'd use a 976 number over a 1-900 one...if for nothing other then the usual use of 976 numbers...

This might be a tad of topic but it's still a commercial of the Knight Rider, it was awhile after Knight Rider being canceled or I think it was when Knight Rider was off the air
It showed David Hasselhoff and a Pontiac Firebird Trans Am, him looks like he was going into a bar and the Trans Am eye lights turning on and off

Never seen that one. Sounds like they were going for the KR look to me, too.
I didn't know David ever intentionally did any advertising. (Besides for his shows/movies/plays/charities.)
Now, talking cars that blink their factory standard lights to their speech paterns, on the other hand, is something that pops up from time to time in odd commercials and various TV shows.

I think that commercial was for mens underwear. I seem to remember it used a lot of clips of different popular ( at that time) male celebs. I think Patrick Duffy of DALLAS was in that commercial too.
