Product Description
Product Description
Get ready for more explosive, edge-of-your-seat adventure in all 21 Second Season episodes of television's hottest crime show, Knight Rider. Ride shotgun with mysterious crimefighter Michael Knight (David Hasselhoff) and the baddest car on four wheels, K.I.T.T., as they chase more elusive criminals in each action-packed episode. Available on DVD for the first time ever, the heart-pounding Second Season of Knight Rider packs in even more thrills and more high-speed chases. It's full-throttle excitement with Michael Knight and K.I.T.T. in the action series that left all others in the dust.
Amazon.com
No one in the 1980s had his finger on the pulse of gizmo-crazy adolescent boys like producer Glen Larson, creator of Battlestar Galactica and Manimal. But the peak of Larson's particular genius has to be Knight Rider, the love story of an absurdly handsome man and his absurdly indestructible car. Former detective Michael Knight (David Hasselhoff, later to achieve worldwide media dominance with Baywatch) zooms across the U.S. in K.I.T.T., a supercharged talking Trans Am with an impenetrable shell and the catty voice of William Daniels (St. Elsewhere). From the Las Vegas desert to the Louisiana bayou, Michael and K.I.T.T. solve crimes and help the downtrodden with the aid of a multi-million-dollar corporation run by dapper Devon Myles (Edward Mulhare) and mechanic/secretary/nanny April Curtis (Rebecca Holden, who took over from Patricia McPherson for the second season only).
The first season was goofy camp from the start, but the second turned even more giddily ridiculous: K.I.T.T. developed supersensors, telekinesis, and the ability to drive on water; plots included amnesia, super attack helicopters, a desperately needed transplant for a sick girl, and a supremely cheesy evil-twin storyline featuring Garthe Knight, son of the multimillionaire who gave Michael his identity-changing facial surgery, played by Hasselhoff with a mustache, soul patch, and even more luxuriant hair. In one episode, Michael goes "undercover" as the lead singer of a rock band, allowing Hasselhoff to flaunt his beloved-in-Germany vocal stylings. Of special note is an episode featuring Geena Davis (future Oscar-winner for The Accidental Tourist) as the daughter of a cat burglar, perhaps the only episode with a love interest as cartoonishly good-looking as Hasselhoff himself. This is definitive trash television, the kind of empty calories that, for some viewers, are irresistibly tasty. For Knight Rider fans, Season Two is a feast. --Bret Fetzer
Knight Rider--Season Two Trivia
Although David Hasselhoff plays both Michael and Garthe Knight in one of the episodes in this season, he is only credited on-screen for playing Michael.
For this season, Rebecca Holden plays April Curtis, KITT's new technician. She was brought in after Patricia McPherson (Bonnie) pushed the show's writers and producers to give her character more to do, possibly including a romance with Michael. Although April was not unpopular, many fans missed Bonnie and wrote in to ask for the character to return, which she eventually did at the start of the third season.
The writers were torn between two songs to use for Garthe Knight's theme "Sympathy for the Devil" and "Gimme Shelter," both by the Rolling Stones. The episode uses "Gimme Shelter".
When avoiding pursuers, K.I.T.T. rotates its license plate, James Bond style, from KNIGHT to KNI 667.
The producers toyed with the idea of making K.I.T.T.'s water-driving ability a reoccurring function, but it was dropped due to it proving to costly.

Therefore when NBC moved this Supercar drama to Sunday nights in the late Summer/early Fall of 1983, it gave me something to look forward to every Sunday, since I've never been too fond of Sundays, despite the fact that I still preferred KNIGHT RIDER on Friday nights, but it helped the DUKES OF HAZZARD get some of its viewers back since KNIGHT RIDER and the DUKES OF HAZZARD weren't on the same night anymore, especially not at the same time slot which helped get more people to tune in to watching the DUKES OF HAZZARD on Fridays again.
Therefore K.I.T.T. wasn't the hottest car on Friday nights anymore and the General Lee pretty much became the hottest car on Friday nights again even though KNIGHT RIDER was still K.O.ing the DUKES OF HAZZARD in the ratings and had already stole the Dukes thunder when this show premiered on NBC in the Autumn of 1982 since the Knight 2000 was able to do 10 times more than the General Lee could ever do.
Therefore CBS probably would've ended up cancelling the DUKES OF HAZZARD by the Spring of 1984 if NBC kept KNIGHT RIDER on Friday nights and moved KNIGHT RIDER from 9PM to 8PM on Fridays instead of moving KNIGHT RIDER from Friday nights at 9PM to Sunday nights at 8PM since KITT practically beat the General Lee to a pulp & really would've conflicted with the DUKES OF HAZZARD's 8PM time slot on CBS every Friday night along with the fact that the DUKES OF HAZZARD had already lost a lot of viewers through KNIGHT RIDER in the Fall of 1982 on top of that, but what I found kind of intriguing about NBC moving KNIGHT RIDER to Sundays in the early Fall of 1983 was the fact that KNIGHT RIDER had been shown on a Sunday night instead of a Friday night when it made its debut on NBC in September of 1982 since the pilot episode of KNIGHT RIDER was the only episode from the 1st Season that had its original air-date on a Sunday instead of a Friday, but the rest of the 1st Season episodes were shown on Fridays since KNIGHT RIDER was shown every Friday night at 9PM at the time starting with the "Deadly Manuevers" episode.
Therefore I was at first under the impression that maybe NBC was going to have KNIGHT RIDER on Sunday nights instead of Friday nights when they showed the pilot episode of KNIGHT RIDER for the very first time on NBC even though I had already heard in the Summer of 1982 that KNIGHT RIDER was going to be the hottest car on Friday nights like the General Lee from the DUKES OF HAZZARD used to be and that KNIGHT RIDER was coming to NBC in the Fall of 1982, but for some reason NBC had showed KNIGHT RIDER on a Sunday just that one time in its 1st Season, which may have been due to scheduling conflicts on NBC and/or perhaps to get more people to tune in to watching this show in order to get people hooked on it since it was the kind of show about a supercar that nobody had ever seen before as well as the car every other person wanted back then, especially kids, including myself.
In addition to that, I would have to say that KNIGHT RIDER's 2nd Season was probably when this show was at its peak and when KNIGHT RIDER had its best ratings since this show was still skyrocketing in the Nielsen ratings at an all-time high during this season since the ratings in KNIGHT RIDER's Second Season were even better than its First Season and better than its last 2 seasons since there was a slight decline in ratings when KNIGHT RIDER hit its Third Season, despite Bonnie's return to the show and April's departure from this show in the Autumn of 1984, plus the ratings dropped drastically to an all-time low during its last season when this shows reputation was tarnished in the Winter of 1986 which led to its cancellation in the Summer of 1986 after completing an unsuccessful Fourth Season on NBC.
Therefore the ratings on KNIGHT RIDER were never as good after this season and were never as strong as the first 2 seasons either after KITT got a new dashboard installed by Bonnie when she returned to the show in the 3rd Season and when newer shows like the short-lived Supercycle drama STREET HAWK premiered in the Winter of 1985 & stole KITTs thunder nearly killing this show practically beating it to a pulp since STREET HAWK had outclassed the Knight 2000 & had better ratings than KNIGHT RIDER & AIRWOLF both did on top of that despite the fact that this show had better ratings when K.I.T.T. had his old dashboard than when he had his new dashboard since KITT was more upgraded with more additional upgraded features and accessories that he didn't have in this season or in the first 2 seasons either, which you could see for yourself when you watch an episode from this season and compare to watching an episode from the Third Season.
So not only did STREET HAWK K.O. KNIGHT RIDER in the Nielsen ratings, STREET HAWK & Jesse Mach(Rex Smith)also stole "The Man, The Machine" motto away from Michael Knight(David Hasselhoff) & KITT too since the ratings on STREET HAWK were at its peak when it made its debut on Friday January 4, 1985 on NBC's rival network ABC.
Therefore, KNIGHT RIDER & AIRWOLF couldn't even touch STREET HAWK during its 3 1/2-month run on ABC either, but the fact that STREET HAWK was too closely related to KNIGHT RIDER & AIRWOLF & kept giving viewers too much of the same thing every weekend not only led to its own cancellation, it also led to the cancellation & declining ratings of KNIGHT RIDER & AIRWOLF too, especially since STREET HAWK premiered too soon after AIRWOLF & KNIGHT RIDER both did since STREET HAWK made its series premiere in the Winter of 1985 even though it was originally scheduled to debut in the Fall of 1984, AIRWOLF made its series premiere on CBS the previous year back in the Winter of 1984, and KNIGHT RIDER made its series premiere in the Fall of 1982.
As a matter of fact, I was 11 years old in the 5th grade at Desert Gardens Elementary School in El Centro when this season was running on NBC.
I also noticed in the Second Season that KITT actually had some more upgraded features than they showed in the First Season too, even though KITT still had the same dashboard as he did in the 1st Season along with the fact that when David Hasselhoff had announced in a TV Guide article in June of 1983 that KNIGHT RIDER was moving to Sunday nights in the early Fall of 1983 and that the producers of this show had used 4 black '82 Pontiac Trans Ams to run the show, not just 1 Trans Am, in order to prevent costly repairs, since Hasselhoff even explained that in actuality whenever Michael & KITT did a stunt scene that they would use KITT lookalike cars to do the stunts and that sometimes the cars they used for all the stunt scenes would even break in half whenever the car landed during a turbo boost scene and would frequently have to replace and repair them whenever the outside of the stunt cars would get banged up or damaged by replacing the outer shell of the Trans Am stunt cars with a new outer shell underneath kind of like peeling the skin off of an onion, which was very similar to how the producers of the DUKES OF HAZZARD ran that show with the General Lee and how the producers ran the
FALL GUY with Colt Seavers fancy GMC Sierra Grande pick up since the General Lee and Colt's pick up both used to get racked up frequently during the stunt scenes on both the FALL GUY & the DUKES OF HAZZARD.
In fact I noticed that in most of the stunt scenes on KNIGHT RIDER, especially in the first 2 seasons of that show that they had Michael driving a black Trans Am KITT lookalike car with a regular round sterring wheel instead of using the main KITT with the fancy pilot style steering wheel with the fancy dashboard, especially when Michael drove KITT on rugged terrain or did major bumps or drove on 2 wheels in ski-mode since it would've been too hard, too risky and too expensive to do it with the main KITT with the fancy dashboard.
In addition something else I had noticed about KNIGHT RIDER's 1983-84 Season was this season had more 2-hour special episodes than any other season throughout KNIGHT RIDER's whole 4-year run on NBC like "Goliath", "Mouth Of The Snake", & "Goliath Returns" along with the fact that this was the season when technician April Curtis(Rebecca Holden)replaced spunky technician Bonnie Barstow(Patricia McPherson), which was of course before Bonnie's return to the show in the Fall of 1984 when April departed along with William Daniels who played the high-strung arrogant Dr. Mark Craig on ST. ELSEWHERE providing his recurring uncredited role as the voice of KITT and Edward Mulhare making his recurring role as Michael's British overlyconcerned boss(Devon Miles)whom was also like a father figure to Michael just like Dr. Huer(Tim O'Connor)was to Buck(Gil Gerard) on BUCK ROGERS:IN THE 25TH CENTURY, but when April replaced Bonnie in this season it felt kind of like it did when Deputy Cletus(Rick Hurst)had replaced his predecessor Deputy Enos(Sonny Shroyer)as Sheriffs Rosco's fellow deputy on the DUKES OF HAZZARD in the Dukes 3rd Season when Enos left the DUKES OF HAZZARD in the Fall of 1980, but when Bonnie returned to KNIGHT RIDER, it felt just like when Deputy Enos(Sonny Shroyer)had returned to the DUKES OF HAZZARD as Rosco's fellow deputy again in the Dukes 5th Season when Deputy Cletus(Rick Hurst)had eventually departed from that show in the Fall of 1982 after only 5 episodes.
In fact the reason why Bonnie's departure and replacement by April on KNIGHT RIDER felt just like Enos's departure and replacement by Cletus on the DUKES OF HAZZARD was because most people obviously preferred Bonnie to April and wanted Bonnie back on KNIGHT RIDER just like most people preferred Enos to Cletus and wanted Enos back on the DUKES OF HAZZARD since April didn't stand out as well as Bonnie did just like Cletus didn't stand out as well as Enos did.
In addition to that, it was interesting seeing David Hasselhoff playing his first dual role in the "Goliath" episode and then again in the "Goliath Returns" episode as both the reclusive crime-fighting investigator(Michael Knight) and as Wilton Knight's evil estranged son(Garthe Knight).
The "Merchants Of Death" episode was also kinda neat when Michael & KITT go up against a futuristic superchopper with heavy artillery, since it was kind of like watching KNIGHT RIDER battle AIRWOLF in a way, even though AIRWOLF hadn't even came out yet, which takes me back to memory lane when the Superchopper drama AIRWOLF made it's debut on CBS in January of 1984, especially since AIRWOLF became in hefty competition with KNIGHT RIDER along with the fact that AIRWOLF was on CBS every Saturday night while KNIGHT RIDER was on NBC every Sunday night, but KNIGHT RIDER still got better ratings than AIRWOLF did.
It was also interesting watching the recluse Michael reunite with his ex-fiancee Stevie(Catherine Hickland) in the "Let It Be Me" episode when he goes undercover as a singer to flush out the culprits who had Stevie's former band member/lover(John Patrick-Reger) killed along with the fact that the "Let It Be Me" episode used intriguing clips from the "White Bird" episode of when Michael was getting reaquainted with Stevie after his identity change and then Michael and Stevie singing a love song called "Let It Be Me" to one another towards the end of that episode just before saying another tearful goodbye along with the fact that I noticed KITT and many other things were more upgraded in the "Let It Be Me" episode than they were in the "White Bird" episode along with the fact that KITT and numerous other things on this show were more upgraded and improved in KNIGHT RIDER's 2nd Season than they were in the 1st Season, even though KITT didn't even have his new dashboard yet, but coincidentally, David Hasselhoff and Catherine Hickland were married in real life at the time during KNIGHT RIDER's 2nd, 3rd, and 4th Seasons, but ended up in divorce not too long after NBC had cancelled this show in August of 1986.
I also noticed that Knight Rider's 1983-84 Season also had a lot of cool songs from the early 80's and even quite a few from the 70's that were resung by different artists on this show.
For instance in the episodes
*GOLIATH played the song "Gimme Shelter" by The Rolling Stones
*BROTHERS KEEPER played the song "She Works Hard For The Money" by Donna Summer
*MERCHANTS OF DEATH played the songs "California Girls" by The Beach Boys and "Breakdown" by Tom Petty
*BLIND SPOT played the songs "Maniac" by Michael Sembello and "Oye Como Va" by Carlos Santana
*RETURN TO CADIZ played the song "Every Breath You Take" by The Police
*KITT THE CAT played the sings "Telefone" by Sheena Easton
*CUSTOM KITT played the songs "Promises Promises" by Naked Eyes and "One Thing Leads To Another" by The Fixx
*SILENT KNIGHT played the songs "Owner Of A Lonely Heart" by Yes and "Gypsy" by Fleetwood Mac
*DIAMONDS AREN'T A GIRLS BEST FRIEND played the songs "Human Touch" by Rick Springfield and "Ain't Nobody" by Chaka Khan
*WHITE-LINE WARRIORS played the songs "Crumblin Down" by John Cougar-Mellencamp, "Maniac" by Michael Sembello, and "Rhiannon" by Fleetwood Mac
*GOLIATH RETURNS played the song "Heart & Soul" by Huey Lewis & The News
*MOUTH OF THE SNAKE played the song "Stay With Me Tonight" by Jeffrey Osborne
*BIG IRON played the song "Don't Let Your Babies Grow Up To Be Cowboys" by Johnny Lee
But for some reason they didn't play the song "Little Red Corvette" by Prince in the "White-Line Warriors" episode or even in the "Knight Of The Drones" episode like they should have since that song was originally played on those episodes during their original air-dates on NBC and even when KNIGHT RIDER was shown in reruns on cable TV and in syndication.
It was also interesting seeing guest stars like
*Tim O'Connor in the "Brother's Keeper" episode after his co-starring days as Dr. Huer on BUCK ROGERS
*Mario Marcelino in the "Race For Life" episode before his co-starring days as Hunter & Molenski's fellow officer(Det. Jimmy Rivera)on the police drama HUNTER
*Joanne Pflug in the "Diamonds Aren't A Girls Best Friend" episode after her co-starring days as Colt Seavers agent(Big Jack)on THE FALL GUY
*Catherine Hickland in the "Let It Be Me" episode before her co-starring days on ONE LIFE TO LIVE and PORT CHARLES
*Robert O'Reilly in the "A Good Knights Work" episode before his co-starring days on STAR TREK:THE NEXT GENERATION and STAR TREK:DEEP SPACE 9
*Michael Fairman in the "Brothers Keeper" episode after his co-starring days as Mr. Heller on the short-lived Sci-Fi series THE POWERS OF MATTHEW STAR and before his co-starring days on THE YOUNG & THE RESTLESS
*Mary-Beth Evans before her co-starring days as Kayla on DAYS OF OUR LIVES and before her co-starring days on GENERAL HOSPITAL, and AS THE WORLD TURNS
*Lydia Cornell in the "Speed Demons" episode during her co-starring days on TOO CLOSE FOR COMFORT
*Anne Lockhart in the "Return To Cadiz" episode after her co-starring days as Lt. Sheba on BATTLESTAR GALACTICA
*Lance LeGault in the "Knight & Shining Armor" episode during his co-starring days as the hard-nosed Army nemesis(Col.Decker) on THE A-TEAM and co-starring days as Magnum's disgruntled Navy nemesis(Col.Green)on MAGNUM, P.I.
*Shanna Reed in the "Let It Be Me" episode before her co-starring days on MAJOR DAD
*Robert Colbert in the "Mouth Of The Snake" episode after his co-starring days on YOUNG & THE RESTLESS
*Ethan Wayne in the "Speed Demons" episode before his co-starring days on THE BOLD & THE BEAUTIFUL and before his co-starring days as Los Angeles police Officer Matt Doyle on THE NEW ADAM-12
*Gerald Gordon in the "Brothers Keeper" episode during his co-starring days on GENERAL HOSPITAL
*Dana Elcar in the "Merchants Of Death" episode before his co-starring days on MACGYVER
*Bryan Robbins in the "Soul Survivor" episode before his co-starring days on HEAD OF THE CLASS
*Peter Mark-Richman in the "Goliath Returns" episode before his co-starring days on SANTA BARBARA
*Bill Boyett in the "Knightmares" episode after his co-starring days as Sgt. MacDonald on ADAM-12
*L. Charles Taylor in the "Mouth Of The Snake" episode after his co-starring days on THE YOUNG & THE RESTLESS
*Nicholas Coster in the "Return To Cadiz" episode after his co-starring days on SHERIFF LOBO, ONE LIFE TO LIVE, ALL MY CHILDREN, and before his co-starring days on SANTA BARBARA
The KNIGHT RIDER-Season 2 DVD also provided a brief summary of each episode including their original air-dates just like Universal did with the KNIGHT RIDER-Season 1 DVD and the KNIGHT RIDER-Season 3 DVD, plus they showed each and every episode complete and uncut just like they were shown when I watched them for the first time on NBC back in the early 1980's
For instance, the original air-dates to each 1983-1984 Season are
10/2/83-GOLIATH
10/9/83-BROTHER'S KEEPER
10/16/83-MERCHANTS OF DEATH
10/23/83-BLIND SPOT
10/30/83-RETURN TO CADIZ
11/6/83-KITT THE CAT
11/13/83-CUSTOM K.I.T.T.
11/27/83-SOUL SURVIVOR
12/4/83-RING OF FIRE
12/11/83: KNIGHTMARES
12/18/83: SILENT KNIGHT
1/8/84: A KNIGHT IN SHINING ARMOR

2/12/84: SPEED DEMONS
2/19/84: GOLIATH RETURNS

5/13/84: LET IT BE ME
5/27/84: BIG IRON
KNIGHT RIDER's Second Season was also the 2nd most phenomenal year of KNIGHT RIDER on NBC too along with the fact that this was the season that gave me something to look forward to every Sunday, especially since I've never been very fond of Sundays, but at least I had something else to look forward to on Sunday nights before going back to school on Mondays, since KNIGHT RIDER was part of NBC's Sunday night line-up at the time along with the fact that KNIGHT RIDER was at its peak of its 4-year run on NBC during this season on top of that.
In fact, that reminds me of when NBC's motto was "BE THERE", since that was their slogan on NBC back then from the Fall of 1983 thru the Spring of 1984.
I also noticed that after watching the 2-hour special episodes like "Mouth Of The Snake" and "Goliath Returns" on this KNIGHT RIDER-Season Two DVD that USA, WGN, Sci-Fi Channel, TV Land, and all the channels that showed the KNIGHT RIDER reruns in syndication had cut out so many scenes, especially in the 2-hour episodes, which was great to be able to see uncut, but such a shame that there were so many scenes in each episode that I didn't even know were actually there before, especially in the "Mouth Of The Snake" episode and "Goliath Returns" episodes, which made it seem like about half the scenes in those episodes were deleted to allot more time for commercials in between.
The only problem I have with this KNIGHT RIDER-SEASON 2 DVD is for some reason some of the episodes like "Knightmares", "White-Line Warriors" skip or freeze a lot at times, which may be due to each disc being dual-sided, which is perhaps part of the reason why Universal had decided to make & release the KNIGHT RIDER-The Complete Series DVD recently to compensate for all the flaws that Universal made with the 2-sided disc of each individual season box set of KNIGHT RIDER by redoing each episode on single-sided discs instead of double-sided discs, despite all the budget cuts and weak economy we've been having lately from the recession going on right now that former president(George Bush, Jr.)and Governor(Arnold Schwarzenneger) caused us.
Additionally, the one thing I could never understand about this season was the "Goliath" episode was not only the Season Premiere to KNIGHT RIDER's 2nd Season, it was also the very first episode with April Curtis(Rebecca Holden), but for some reason on the show there was never any formal introductions made that April had joined Michael, Devon, KITT, and the Foundation as their new co-worker as well as KITT's new mechanic acting as if April had already been on the show all along with no mention about Bonnie Barstow(Patricia McPherson) or why Bonnie left the Foundation and got replaced by April either, plus I also noticed that Michael didn't flirt with April nearly as much as he flirted with Bonnie either, which was probably an indicator that Michael preferred Bonnie to April like most other people did.
In addition to that in the "Big Iron" episode, "Big Iron" was not only the Season Finale episode to KNIGHT RIDER's 1983-84 Season, but Michael & KITT mentioned April's name a lot in the "Big Iron" episode along with the fact that Rebecca Holden's name and credits were still in the introduction to the "Big Iron" episode like all the other episodes of this season even though April didn't even come out in the "Big Iron" episode, despite the fact that Michael & KITT kept mentioning April's name a lot in the "Big Iron" episode giving us the impression that April was still a part of the show and wasn't about to leave the show or the Foundation by a long shot, especially since "Big Iron" was the last episode of KNIGHT RIDER's Second Season, but then Bonnie returns to the show and to the Foundation as KITT's mechanic in the following episode "Knight Of The Drones", which by the way was the Season Premiere to KNIGHT RIDER's Third Season when Bonnie gives KITT a major upgrade with a major facelift with a new dashboard.
Therefore in actuality the "Let It Be Me" episode was Rebecca Holden's last real episode on this show, not the "Big Iron" episode since the "Let It Be Me" episode was when April made her last appearance on this show before Patricia McPherson's return to the show in September of 1984, but I also noticed that April didn't appear in the "Mouth Of The Snake" episode either, which therefore means there were at least 2 episodes in this season without April Curtis, despite her name on the introduction and credits to this season.
Overall, I recommend this DVD to anyone who bought and liked KNIGHT RIDER-Season One and I think anybody who was a KNIGHT RIDER fan like me who watched KNIGHT RIDER religiously on NBC every Friday night in the 1st Season and every Sunday night in the 2nd and 3rd Seasons would agree with me on this review for KNIGHT RIDER's Second Season.
Something else I noticed in this 1983-1984 Season was the hotel they used for the episodes "Soul Survivor", "KITT The Cat", and "Goliath Returns" was the SHERATON UNIVERSAL in Universal City and that they had also shown us the Universal movie distribution building in Universal City in the "KITT The Cat" episode too.
In the meantime, I just got word that Paramount will be releasing the detective drama MATT HOUSTON-Season 1 on DVD on March 9th, 2010 and is now available for pre-order along with the fact this this DVD season of KNIGHT RIDER and MATT HOUSTON both take me back to memory lane to the Summer of 1988 when KNIGHT RIDER was shown at 5PM followed by MATT HOUSTON ar 6PM weekdays on KTLA from July of 1988 thru September of 1988.
By the way, the Shout Factory will finally be releasing STREET HAWK out on DVD on Tuesday July 13th, 2010 which shall give all you high-tech fantasy TV show fans out there something else to look forward to.
(For the record, some people have written on here that the voice of K.I.T.T., William Daniels, passed away in the late 90s. That is not so. I just checked his biography, and he's not only still alive, he's currently filming a new series called Girl meets World, a spinoff of the 90s sitcom Boy Meets World. In both series, he plays the high school principal George Feeny. So rest easy, fans. "K.I.T.T." is alive and well.)

It may be dated but its 80s so that is fine by me.
