Knight Rider on "Trapped in TV Guide!"

Post by 1ManCnMkeADffrnce2006 » Sat Aug 12, 2006 8:39 am

Hey all, I saw this on the TV guide channel last night 8/11/06 at 8 p.m. They call it Trapped in TV Guide. Hosted by Tracey Gold(Carol Seaver, from the 80's sitcom Growing Pains). They called this episode Working the Nightshift/Life's a Beach (Notice they used the regular word night and not Knight). This show is a lot like the famous Candid Camera, but they use famous television shows. On this particular episode they use two of Davids shows to trick unknowing contestants/victims.

The first part, as if you did not guess; was a spoof on Knight Rider. They used a red sports car, and if my memory serves me correctly it looked like one of Ferrari's newest vehicles. The badge on the front grill did not look famillar but it could have been from them and they switched it so as not to pay royalties etc. Anyhoo... the show had their version of the scanner behind the front grill and badge as well as a scanner in each of two air vents in front of both wheels, and would only come on when the vehicle spoke (by a person in a van, of course nearby!). The premise of the prank is: people are hired on as security guards and are to watch the specified parking lot and assigned area of it that this KITT like car is parked (I think they called theirs MIT, I cannot remember at this moment what is stood for, sorry, my CRS sucks sometimes! :) ). They are then informed they have a partner, yep you geussed it MIT. They are left alone for a bit and the hilarity ensues, well maybe. They then have the car talk to the unsuspecting victim for a bit, nothing too amusing there. Things get quiet, then a beautiful woman walks by, the car whistles at her, she pauses turns around and speaks to the victim asking if he/she did that. They either respond no, the car did, or did what? then the woman turns back around just as the car states to her "nice rack" to where she spins around again asking if they said that and of course the same response comes out or a new one of "say what?" & "I did not hear it".

I'd post a link for you all to see it but the closest I could get was the link below to TV Guide. I know it does not help, but you might be able to see it again in a rerun later on. I do not know if they have the same thing over the pond there in Britian so I guess we will have to see if their is any webcast of it anywhere.

I did not stick around to see their Baywatch spoof, so I could not tell you what happened there.
