Re: KNIGHT RIDER:2000 30th ANNIVERSARY

Yeah, I saw this when it was broadcast and even as a kid, I was a little meh on it, though naturally there are good bits and pieces here and there. I watched it again just a couple years ago from the Season 1 DVDs and I really didn't like it due plot holes, pacing, etc. I will watch it again in May ...

Bad DVD! Help!

So, I've been going through and encoding all my KR DVD's to Plex for easy access. When I got to Season 2, Disk 3, Side A -- Goliath Returns....the disk has gone bad. I was able to pull Speed Demons and A Good Knight's Work off that disk, but no drive I have will read through Goliath Returns. Any one...

The Sister's florist shop is at 901 E. Wingate St, Covina CA -- still a florist's shop!

Re: 2.11 - Silent Knight

Found the Covina theatre this episode.
104 North Citrus Ave, Covina California.

Sadly the original structure was torn down in 2015, but the marquee is there.

About 1/2 block to the left, "The Book Shop" is still there!

Re: Knight Rider: The Laserdisc!

I will try to get to this today. The issue is that an LD cover is 12x12. My scanner can only do 8 1/2 x 14? I'll try grab just the art in the middle, so that I'm not trying to stitch an image together.

Re: What Glen Larson thought of TKR and KR08

I just watched a bunch of those 3 minute clips from Glen. A. Larson. Those were fun, thanks!

In a sense though he's right, the theme of the show is basically "The Lone Ranger in a Car" -- deviating from that formula is clearly fraught, as is evidenced by the subsequent series.

Re: Rank the Seasons

A mostly agree with David above. Season 2 is solid. Season 3 vs Season 1 are really close for 2nd place for me. I'd need to go back and do a thorough review of episodes before determining a "winner". Season 4 is clearly the overall weakest, though I remember as a kid I totally ate up that ...

Re: Siri with kitt's voice

We need someone to have William Daniels to a phoenitc alphabet recording. Paramount did the same for Majel Barret before she passed. With a phonetic alphabet, you can use software to assemble a life-like voice. At that point, the sky is the limit for what you'd want KITT to say back to you.

Yeah, probably the same reason why only snafu and yourself (briefly) have been in the ##KnightRider IRC channel -- there just isn't enough traffic through here to support a large real-time chat.

Re: hi again

Hey snfau, I saw someone (I'm guessing it was you) pop in to the room and say hello. I'm guessing it worked! The problem with a chat room, is that without some critical mass of people hanging out in there...it tends to be lame.

I will say that one of the nice things about freenode is that it's really old-school anonymous. Choose a username, choose a password., Done. No real names, age verification, name of your 2nd cousin once removed, etc. I don't even have logging turned on for ##KnightRider channel, so the conversations...

Re: hi again

An IRC client, is a thing on your machine you can use to connect to an Internet Relay Chat server. The most user friendly clients, like Adium X for the Mac and Pidgin for Windows/Linux can connect to multiple server through various protocols. My pidgin client currently connects to: my AIM account (r...

Re: hi again

So, I've seen a few laments about the loss of the chat.

I've just created a ##KnightRider channel over on Freenode.

Hook your favourite IRC client up to chat.freenode.net (I use Pidgin) and /join ##KnightRider

My mom is in town visiting, so I took her down to Pikes Place Market today for some shopping / tourist stuff today. As she was in whatever shops, I was wondering around. At the end of the hall, on one of the lower levels of the market, was what I can only describe as an old school junk shop. All sor...

I think KITT's risk assessment sub routines were probably tuned a little on the conservative side in order to protect Michael, which after all was his primary program.
