I liked Knight Sting. I haven't got the season four DVDs, because I thought the last series was the weakest, but that does sound like a classic Knight Rider episode - the whole team working together. And I read on the Internet Movie Cars Database that the red car they disguise Kitt as - his 'tomato...

I'm watching the original series again, too - picking random favourites from the first to the third seasons - and I love it. It had real heart, not style over substance. David Hasselhoff obviously really believed in his character, because Michael Knight is so real - an ordinary, amiable, genuine guy...

This is a fascinating thread! :D I shall have to pay more attention so that I can contribute. And thanks to whoever identified the College of the Canyons as the test track in JYD, amongst other episodes - I've been meaning to look that up for ages! I don't suppose anybody has a clue about where Bonn...

Long-time fan and hibernating poster delurking to join the community again - hello! :D After running out of 'favourite' episodes to watch anew, I thought I would try some 'fillers', as I think of them - the less-than-great storylines that make a series. And to my surprise, they are not so bad! I lov...

I posted a topic about KITT and the Junkyard Dog episode http://knightrideronline.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=11118 . I pondered many of the same questions in it. Like even if Bonnie to back up all the data and files that KITT used his "soul" should not been able to make a return. T...

I'd argue that her being a lesbian DID come up again. Remember the other annoying FBI agent who was obviously hitting on Carrie? Without the earlier bedroom scene, he's just a dork. But knowing what we know as an audience, his scene actually plays out more comically because "it's like dude... ...

I don't think it's political correctness. I'd actually go more along the lines of them intentionally trying to push boundaries on TV. Which is fine. For my money, I think the addition of RC3 screamed political correctness. And again, that's fine, but I want to make sure we're comparing the two seri...

All in all, character development and depth is a sign of the times. Notice that in other television series and movies? It's just the modern trend. Back in the '80s, it was OK if The A-Team's cast consisted of characters banded together by a war with one paragraph personalities and tons of action. T...

With this new series, they want to make sure the secondary characters are more than just window dressing. And yes, that will probably involve romance. It's 2008; if she's a lesbian, more power to her. This is what gets me about 'modernising' old concepts - it seems to be about proving the original ...

#1 - The name alone of "Mike Traceur" is corny. And to boot, I know they need a "good looking" guy to play the lead role, but they dipped too far in the pages of G.Q. for this fruit cake. His "baby-face" just doesn't match the role. Michael Knight was a good looking bu...

Well, I think Kitt would definitely pass Turing's test for sentience! :o I don't think the question should be whether or not Kitt is sentient, or has the same qualities as a human - there are some things he can do better, and some he can't do at all - but whether he, and KARR, should have any extra ...

And, I conclude that KITT could, and did indeed have it all on board. However, I also say that KITT had an external back up that was linked afar. And, this was link was supported in the KARR episodes to prove it existed. Which is how KITT was even recoverable in Junk Yard Dog. And, alas, KITT is so...

I think that from a dramatic standpoint, it's important that KITT does NOT have a main backup at the Foundation. Because that makes him less vulnerable, and then we care less when he gets hurt. If Bonnie could simply restore KITT at any time to the previous day's backup, then where is threat? Why s...

I believe the episode you are looking for is Ten Wheel Trouble. That's the one, thanks! I'm working my way through all three seasons, in no particular order, but 'Ten Wheel Trouble' is somewhere near the bottom of the hitlist! I really just wondered about memory and data storage after reading a boo...

A hypothetical techie question from somebody who hasn't got a clue :oops: (Pardon me if this has been covered recently - I did a quick search, but couldn't find anything that covered this topic precisely!) Would Kitt need a network/mainframe, perhaps at the Foundation, to store his memory/data, or i...

89 formula wrote:I'd say RING OF FIRE, then KITT vs CARR a close second.

Hey, superb! 'Ring of Fire' is my favourite 'underdog' (not one of the main stories) episode. I also like 'Silent Knight' about this time of year

I'd have to agree with whoever called themselves a sap - I love Junkyard Dog, and Soul Survivor (although more for the Michael-Kitt dialogue than the actual episode, which suffers from terrible 80s visual technobabble). JYD is damn near perfect, however - it's a destruction episode, but Kitt's fate ...

Oh, I realized that, FuzzieDice, but was just focusing on that later scene. As for the Manual Override, let's not forget that K.A.R.R. may have felt he was in danger himself, and therefore let his self-preservation programming take priority (because it is his priority). That is the main difference ...

Can I just say thank you to Lost Knight for bringing this up, and HungarianKnight for suggesting an answer! :D I asked this question on the Foundation board, because I wondered what Michael was doing after watching that scene too, but it seems nobody is biting over there yet. I suppose Michael would...

Thanks for replying, Christine Silver and Knightshade (eep! I can personalise my thanks! )

'Campaign contribution' is in the post, Knightshade

I'm going to be brave and *yoik* my fan fiction announcement out of the dead thread where I hid it previously :wink: For your general perusal, a short scene between Michael and Kitt, inspired by a Bob Seger song: Turn The Page It's for anybody who wonders, like me, about the journey and not the dest...

I hate White Bird. I'm also an Ironside fan and Michael socks poor Don Galloway across the nose. Beastly person Michael Knight, leave Sgt Brown alone! I thought old Ed Bown was really cute in the repeats on BBC2 when I was younger. (Ah, the naive days of youth, it was what, 4,5 years ago? where's m...

Yeah the episode was made in tribute to that film wasn’t it? The A-Team also did an episode in tribute? Only the title was in tribute, I think. The episode didn't really resemble the film, which was about a town with a secret visited by Spencer Tracy, trying to present a war medal to the father of ...

The one used in Knight Rider 2000 (hehehe.) -scott The two sections of Kitt's three-bar modulator in KR2000 were slightly out of place with each other, and it bugged me throughout the film (one of many things that did :wink: ) And I agree with the other thread about his voice in that film - when Ki...

What I could never understand was why K.A.R.R. was never just reprogrammed. If the computer programmers had told K.A.R.R. they needed to reprogram some of his cuircuts, he would have just complied as a good operative of FLAG. There would have been no problems and he wouldn't have gone berzerk. K.A....
