The world of 'Computer learning' is getting very interesting. So what did Knight Rider predict?

Sure. We all know that Kitt could talk, drive and jump over tall buildings in a single bound. But, what about the smaller things that are coming true in modern times?

I experienced a small glimpse into the world of the Knight Rider the other week.

Had an actual reason to rent a modern vehicle the other week. It was an upgrade to what I was expecting. And that included hands free driving. Got to say that it is a strange, even fearful experience to just release the wheel and watch the vehicle drive itself around curves and handle other cars by ...

Re: Kitt1982 vs kitt2008

I kind of saw the 'computer interface' as being off to the left and the driver literally jumped in via the open T-Top. Maybe the driver's seat swivels, like some kind of tight Batman car design? The other batches of cars didn't even come close. T-Tops and Doeskin interiors. The AI loved the red and ...

Re: Kitt1982 vs kitt2008

Which would I prefer? TOS dash, hands down. Though, I do understand that designing interior dash boards must be a rather hard thing to do. So I asked an actual computer to create one in the KR style. Erm... Maybe Turbo Boost button is there, right below the airbag? Scene looks like a recreation of t...

Recently, I gained access to some of that brand new AI art and decided to play around with some Knight Rider requests. Got this interesting image to form.

Filming locations of Knight Rider.

Surprising find on a channel I was not expecting. From Retro Recipes, here are multiple locations from around California where the original show was filmed at. Enjoy. I sure am as I fidget with this link to make it work. So well produced.

Re: Will Michael and KITT be reunited?

Agreed. KR should be a show, instead of a movie. Simply put, if they were to go the movie route, it would have to cover too much ground to set up the scene for all the newer generations that may not know the franchise so well. Not that a modern remake of Knight of the Phoenix wouldn't even be a remo...

Re: The definitive crash course of all things Knight Rider for those new to the franchise...in video form.

Exactly. In my opinion, when it comes to shows like this, the show doesn't end because the cameras stopped rolling. But more like the considered viewers that take witness to that show's world have turned away and so the filming stops. But that world continues to live on. Just as if Michael has been ...

Re: knight rider runs out of gas

I don't blame NBC for running these episodes out of sync. After all, it was a power play to bring back the audience with a strong episode. To think just how many more seasons could have been, had the episode regained the interest of the masses. But then, television is kind of weird. After all, I sti...

Re: Where's "Always on My Mind" and "Tush"?

That's the problem with having a show that used the 'popular music choice of the week' formula. So many rights to have to obtain and pay for. Some owners just don't want their property to stick around on future revenues like DVD sets. Or even syndication. If memory serves, I think even David provide...

Re: Burial ground peculiarity

You know...I've never actually questioned those 'features' at all.

And was probably just a feature to insure the world's first Smart Watch stayed ...

Re: Knight Rider Debate

It is very hard to debate that anything that tried to be as good as the original is worthy of conquering that hill. After all, KR 2010 was the show that never was, having been run through the legal system and only won the name's sake. KR 2000 was the revival that promised all so much. And gave a vis...

I do have to agree with so much that is being stated, here. And I was so glad when someone eventually saw that they had a very expensive show with a great opportunity that was going down the drain and tried to recover from it. But...if nobody was there to watch them even try to make a better show......
