Michael Knight's Awkward Moments

Throughout the Knight Rider series, we sometimes see Michael Knight in situations that we are not used to seeing him in. For example, we see Michael using a handgun in several episodes when we all know he is not allowed to carry one. Another example is when we see him performing maintenance on KITT, like in the episode "Junk Yard Dog", where he is at the FLAG laboratory assisting Bonnie, where we see him working on KITTs scanner and performing the paint job. We also see Michael jerry rig KITT into a ramjet in episode "Goliath", courtesy of the FLAG owners manual.

I think he's had plenty of funny awkward moments and serious awkward moments, but somehow he'd handled some awkward situations better than others.....

I for one thought Michael looked very awkward when he was wearing a LA Dodgers baseball cap in the episode, "Blind Spot". I am not knocking the team or anything, but I thought it looked kinda strange to see Michael wearing a baseball cap, especially with his long hair. The cap itself looked kinda small for his head, for I don't think it was a fitted cap. But then the show was filmed back in the 80's and people still wore their hair long, including ball players.

The most fun awkward moment of all I think was when he first met KITT in the pilot and discovered that KITT could talk. LOL!

And to be fair, what about KITT's awkward moments, like when he had to tame a bull in "Not A Drop To Drink" for instance? :)

It's times like those that bring the added humor in the show. :)

And let's not forget the infamous "Inside Out" quote: "Michael, where are your pants?" :lol:

It did seem a bit weird to see Michael performing matinence on K.I.T.T but he was just trying to help as best as he could. If my friend was in trouble I'd try to help him out as well, even if I really didn't know what I was doing. But most of the other awkward moments did add some great humor especially the basball cap. My roomate and I both thought he looked ridiculous. He had a sort of froish mullet thing going on. :lol:

LOL!!! That's one of my favorite K.I.T.T lines. I think it's actually from "A Plush Ride" but anyway I remember the first time heard it. I nearly peed myself laughing so hard. :lol:

Throughout the entire KR series. we see Michael wearing his trademark black leather jacket. Every so often, we see Michael wearing something out of the ordinary, but it would really look odd to see him wearing a Michael Jackson Beat It or Thriller jacket. It would look even crazier if he were going around wearing a glitter glove and using it to punch out the bad guys. :lol:

I'm like that with Dryden. More because of trying to cut costs but also to learn to do auto maintenance work. It can be fun to finally get things going again. :) Sometimes a BIG relief too! :lol:

That's the one! I keep getting the two episodes confused. :) Thanks...
