Very nicely done! I wish he could see what has gone on with Knight Rider and would have been nice to have his comments and maybe a guest star appearance from him. I just hope GST does a nice traditional thing for his character in this new series.

He was the best. I wish his last appearance as Devon wasn't in Knight Rider 2000.

Deeply missed.
