Bonnie was supposedly involved with Kitt's programming from the very beginning, so yes, she was the one who programmed Kitt's fear of flying. I doubt if April had access to Kitt's core programming.

Bonnie programmed Kitt's fear of flying, because she had the same phobia. Michael mentioned it in 'Sky Knight', I think.

Sarah

I don't think Human League/Duran Duran were Michael's 'thing', really. I thought that the music generally mirrored what Michael would listen to, even when it moved away from the popular country tunes. The pop music of latter episodes also added to the 'feel' of the show - sunny, fast, current tunes....

April didn't seem 'natural' as Kitt's technician, unlike Bonnie. And I don't know whether or not it was the relationship between the actors showing through on set, but she was never really accepted as part of the 'team', either. Even the jokes seemed forced. But given time, who knows? I liked her fe...

And for the record, Michael was in his thirties. And it just seemed wrong somehow, especially after he made such a big deal about her being so young. It's almost like they threw the 21 in there to just buffer the strangeness. KI What about that second 'independent truckers' episode, 'Ten Wheel Trou...

It wasn't negative, it was honest. And it seems to me that the only reason the thread that will remain nameless took three hours to close was because you kept rising to the poster's bait. I do try to post new things, and I support topics that are slightly different - wasn't there a funny thread abou...

Woah! Woah, there! *Dives under the nearest temporary cover* The participant may not have been cerebral, nor his approach (or content of thread), but the subject was: AI. And it seems, from recollection, that other 'technical' topics have generated a little "good-natured back-and-forth" too. That ol...

Plus, there isn't a whole lot to discuss about Knight Rider that hasn't been brought up multiple times before - Futurama and the Simpsons included. And look what happens when 'cerebral' topics are chucked into the ring - novices and experts clash for two pages of a thread, and then the thread gets l...

Definitely not, that is one of the things that the producers went out of their way to make sure didn't happen, on or off screen. Michael and Bonnie were never meant to be together, because they thought it would make it 'too adult' KI Does anyone else think that the development of Michael and Bonnie...

Didn't Michael mention that his father was dead? He was trying to empathise with somebody, I think.

Sarah

I can't believe that was actually a series! I thought it was some scriptwriter's amalgamation of various childhood shows, completely made up for Michael to mention! Kind of like those stupid 'can't-mention-actual-companies-but-you-know-what-we-mean' products that feature on other shows, ie the "Z-mo...

I think FLAG were supposed to have had offices in Nevada too - their base during 'Goliath' - but I think the main building was supposed to be in California, hence Kitt's licence plates. Although, I don't know how American plates work. Could Kitt be registered in California and based in Nevada, or wo...

Disregard the bafflement. Message decoded

What I meant is that nobody is totally sure where the FLAG HQ is, but it was assumed to actually be in or near Los Angeles, KITT balked because of the song for the most part. (It was really bad continuity error on the writer's part.) I know they were being sent into Southern California. I am saying...

I just wondered ... I had to Google this 'Joe Millionaire' guy, because the show obviously doesn't air in the UK, and yes, he looks like Michael. Or rather, he looks like a potential David clone. Is that what people look for in their 'new movie' suggestions? Do 'Michael'-candidates have to have a yo...

No, that's not the episode, they went into one parking garage up to the top looking for a car and people, and the ones they wanted were on the roof of another parking garage, and they turbo boosted over to the other roof, and kitt commented about it being longer then his previous jumps. It wasn't k...

Technically, they were never really established as where they really were. It was assumed that it was in Los Angeles. But FLAG seemed to have bases around the country, and Michael was always travelling, so basically he could have been sent back to Southern California, maybe. KI Michael was on his w...

I like this thread - not to criticise others, but when I see that 'Favourite Episode' has cropped up yet again, an original question is like a breath of fresh air! I think Kitt probably took care of his own interior, with the air-vac. But who took care of the outside? (Ie, 'Ring of Fire'). I think I...

The earlier episodes also had Kitt 'viewing' where he was going, on the CRT screens, which was a nice touch.

Sarah

But saying that, what with Devon's smart British appearance and personality, I think it was a way of RC's attitude to go against that and inject a bit of humour into the show...after all...season 4 did get a bit serious! Skav I think Devon was stereotyped too (the American view of the English gent)...

Heh, Dolby-surround Kitt

I wonder if he had those little corner speakers, to freak Michael out with background noise every now and again (or am I the only one who picks up on that effect?)

Sarah

Wasn't there even a scene with the model in the centrefold having her picture taken on Kitt? I can recall a line about 'comparing bodywork', but that might have been another episode.

And Bonnie would never pose for a magazine like that!

Sarah

I really wanted to hate RC3 - I even rechristened him 'RCD3', as is my wont - because he was part of the last-ditch season four ratings attempt, starring everybody's favourite, Silly Pop-out Mode. But I kept liking the actor. The character was stereotypical and underused, but the comic moments with ...

What a great idea; I loved reading Tomy's 20 Questions. A few of her answers had me thinking, 'Yeah, me too!' (especially commas. My goal in life is to find the Holy Comma Rulebook ). I know you mentioned that you don't mind the level of experience/output, Knightshade, so - maybe after reading other...

Yes, but Holly Marie Combs is Charmed, now. I don't think that would work. I like her as Piper, but she's forever attached herself to the character, in my mind.

For all my 'Tiffany Thiessen' promotion, I think it will definitely have to be someone new or relatively unknown.
