New Atari 2600+ with same joystick seen on Knight Rider

An updated version of the Atari 2600 with an exact replica of the original joystick seen on Knight Rider releases November 17 (this Friday as of this post) in the US. The joystick is seen in season 2, episode "Soul Survivor", in which a kid controls KITT with the popular Atari joystick. 8)...

Re: New Playmobil Knight Rider commercial

I bought one for my niece earlier this year but I haven't been able to play with it or even see it put together yet because of time constraints. :roll:

I think it's a great (but expensive) toy for kids but I don't want one for myself. I have enough stuff! :lol:

Re: Official Knight Rider Commlink Replica $25 -:pre-order

Here is a Star Wars radio watch that has a different image and says 1982:

So I suppose it's possible they got the idea to use that design from seeing a Star Wars watch, instead of an earlier radio watch with that design.

Re: Official Knight Rider Commlink Replica $25 -:pre-order

The original watch was based on a Star Wars watch AM radio. I don't believe the original was based on the Star Wars watch, although the Star Wars watch is the same design. Look at the date on the box of the SW watch - it says 1983. I found this (which says 1980) but it may not be the first one with...

Re: Knight rider footage used in new quntum leap series

I noticed this too. At first I was just thinking and saying "Oh brother! What's a 3rd gen Trans Am doing in 1977?!" :x Then I re-winded and paused it before it hit me: "Oh mylanta! That's KITT!!! They re-used Knight Rider footage!" :lol: It would work for 1982 and a few years lat...

Re: Knight Rider music on 2022 Winter Olympics

Yeah, I find it kind of surprising that this much merchandise has been showing up lately. I love the Playmobil KITT - looks like a great toy for kids.

Knight Rider music on 2022 Winter Olympics

When casually watching the Olympics on NBC January 8, I heard something familiar - Knight Rider modified theme music! It was just played a few seconds before a commercial break. It kind of shocked me. :shock: I had to record the replay during the night to hear it again. Maybe NBC is hinting at somet...

Re: Will Arnett as kr08 Ki3t

Based on those preview samples, I'd have to go with Val Kilmer. Arnett sounds too robotic and harsh to me. Now, if Arnett could tone down his robotic sound and sound less harsh, I could change my mind 'cause Arnett may have a better voice suited for AI.

Re: Knight Rider mentioned on Lethal Weapon Series last night

Then Riggs says "I don't know how to respond to that"

I was rolling with laughter and had to re-watch that part a few times. Too funny!!!

Although this was a tv show, self-driving vehicles will make people think Knight Rider in real life too, at least older people. lol

That was fun! For me, it's hard to believe that it first aired 35 years ago. I was only 12 years old and it blew me away.

Re: Firehawk to Kitt

I think that first picture is a Firebird Formula. The Formula had the performance of the Trans Am without the added ground effects and big spoiler. The Firehawk, which had even more power, looked like the Formula, except maybe small differences. This Firehawk looks just like the Formula except, of c...

Assuming that you're talking about a bumper sticker that says 'My other car is KITT', I don't know where there is any for sale but you can go to a website that makes customized stickers and have one made.

Re: 1982 Trans Am "Dated?"

People think it's dated mainly because they just KNOW that it's a car from the '80s. For the most part, I don't think I'll ever think the design is dated. The only thing that seems kind of dated to me is the top windshield area which is very angular; but overall it's a great looking aerodynamic desi...
