Michael Knight's favorite TV show?

[whet]

What do you suppose is Michael's fave show??
Sometimes we see him watching Ice hookey etc on Kitt's monitor.
Or maybe he is to busy saving the day to watch TV.

I think he is generally too busy to watch TV, and if anything is probably a sport nut, particularly football. (Which we do see him entertaining on occasion, I don't ever remember there being any ice hockey.)

Hmmm.... MecGuyver?

(Gets a boot tossed at me)

STAR TREK! He did say in KR 2000 that he was a "Closet Treky".

You see Micheal playing video games sometimes...as is in Soul Suvivor.....and in Goliath he plays cards.....so maybe Micheal's "thing" is doing games on the screen.

STAR TREK! He did say in KR 2000 that he was a "Closet Treky".

Erm, no he didn't. He was picking on Maddock.

Michael: Don't tell me that you are a closet Trekkie...
Maddock: It's Scotty!

(ok, loosely paraphrased, but Michael didn't say he was a Trekkie)

I second Laura's statement He was picking on Maddock for being one not saying He was one. I to knew after James Doohan started rambling Star Trek stuff that was from Star Trek and im not a fan either. I have a friend who is so it was familiar with me. I always found Star Trek to be to far fetched to get into.

Was swampfox a tv series before 82?Cause Michael said he loved swampfox in Knightmares cause it was is childhood hero.Maybe the show never existed.

Well it looks like they didn't pull that one out of their you know whats. According to IMDB, Swamp Fox was a TV series in 1959. Starred Leslie Nielsen as General Francis Marion (The Swamp Fox). User reviews describes the show as the following:

Before Mel Gibson was The Patriot, Leslie Nielsen was General Francis Marion...aka The Swamp Fox. Based on the heroics of real-life patriot Francis Marion, this mini-series produced by Walt Disney for his early TV show DISNEYLAND, is a rollicking adventure. Francis Marion and his men fought the British during the Revolutionary War and he earned the name Swamp Fox by eluding the British in his native Carolina swamp land. He works with a band of loyal colonists to form a small army that is quite similar to Robin Hood and his men to stop invasions of Charleston. Like most Disney adventures of the time (Davy Crockett, for example), this featured a catchy theme song that the troupe sang as they marched down the road. It was also used during the show's opening and closing credits with the lead sung by none other than the Swamp Fox himself, Leslie Nielsen.

There were 8 episdoes.

Wow!!!! I hit the nail right on the head for once.Do I get a prize?

[neps]

Yes, you get a cookie.

[SadArticle]

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-mover" game on a 'CSI' episode.

There was also a line of "Swamp Fox" comic books while the series was on the air -- I'll try and get some more info...

Michael also watched "Leave It To Beaver" (see "A Nice Indecent Little Town"). In other episodes her makes references to Buck Rogers, Star Wars ("Hearts of Stone"), E.T. ("Return to Cadiz"). He was also a fan of John Wayne, and saw "The Alamo" about fifteen times.
