Knight Rider Watching
A simple question here guys, how often or how much do you watch Knight Rider?
For me I have watched at least 1 episode a day (usually 2 or 3) every day of my life since I was seven yrs old, but how about you?
(ps; sorry about the lackluster thread title)

Re: Knight Rider Watching
Wow... That's pretty impressive. I've been through so many different obsessions since I was seven that I can barely count them. 
Lately, I've been watching Knight Rider about once or twice a day, and honestly, it was news of the new show that sparked it. I guess that technically makes me a "newbie," although the show isn't new to me.
I used to watch KR quite a bit when I was younger, but only when it was on TV, back when I didn't realize they showed TV shows in any particular order. So, basically, I had no idea there was any kind of overarching plot. When I heard about the new show, I was inspired to rewatch everything again from an "adult" perspective. Somehow I still have a crush on KITT like a 5 year old, though...

Re: Knight Rider Watching
I try to atleast get a full season in atleast once a week. Nothing like curling up on the couch with some captain and coke and some great kr episodes with nothing to do but enjoy.

Re: Knight Rider Watching
I've been watching Season 4 mainly because I'm looking for the silver lining in an otherwise horrid season of the show. I actually think the bright spots are Knight of the Juggernaut, Killer KITT, and The Scent of Roses and Knight of the Drones (Drones is really slow though). I also like Fright Knight simply because I admire Robert Englund.
Interesting tidbit I noticed in Killer K.I.T.T. - If you watch outside KITT's window as Michael and RC are racing after Marco Bario in his portable mobile unit, you can clearly see them pass the Knight Semi in the same parking lot of the convention center, even though they're supposed to be racing at 300 MPH away from it.
You can also see the season 4 dash concept art (single screen) hanging on a wall behind Bario, inside his mobile office.

Re: Knight Rider Watching
I used to buy episodes off this board about 10 years ago.I had low quality episodes.Then I bought some episodes through columbia house video.I bought the season dvd's.Downloaded episodes from krmultimedia.com.I had a friend record cable broadcasted episodes before the dvd's were released so I could record them in the highest quality of the 3 or 4 versions of each episode I had purchased or recorded.I think I can say I've watched every episode about 4-5times for the ok episodes.The better episodes like Knight of the Phoenix,trust doesn't rust,Goliath,knightmares,whitebird,scent of roses,let it be me,lost knight, knight of the drones,knight of the juggernaught,kitt vs karr,I must have watched a few dozen times.But ever since the new seriespilot aired It really brought it out in the open that Knight Rider is old and seeing David that way,I feel like I can't watch the series the way I used to knowing that time has gone by in the knight rider world.So I can't wait for the series to be picked up.

Just a note... Knight of the Drones was the the season premiere for season three. Juggernaut started season 4.victor kros wrote:I've been watching Season 4 mainly because I'm looking for the silver lining in an otherwise horrid season of the show.

As for my viewing, I watch a few days a week. Usually after midnight when I'm working on a writing project or something. It's incredible just how good of a movie the 2-hour pilot was, the series that would follow not withstanding. Season three might be the best of all but I can't decide. The first was awfully good too.

Re: Knight Rider Watching
I do not actually have a favorite season because each one has their share of good episodes and less then stellar filler episodes. I have all my discs mixed together at the moment which is why I said Knight of the Drones in my list so thanks for pointing that out. Definately not one of my favorite episodes from season 3 (because it's so drawn out) but it has its moments. My favorite episode from Season 3 is still K.I.T.T. vs. K.A.R.R.

Re: Knight Rider Watching
I don't know why but I have a feeling Goliath was one of the most well thought out,most expensive episodes of the series.What a storyline too.Its mosre about Wilton Knight's life,wife,son,intent to right a wrong by recreating his son in a way.Talks about this incredible formula that Wilton trusted to 3 key people in the foundation's history.One of kitt's greatest and largest enemies.Kitt's first mortality questioning episodes that proved even being indestructable just doesn't cut it.If anything they should have brough up Zeno's paradox here more than trust doesn't rust.
