    Nothing beats a classic. I'm not knocking down the New Knight rider show. But I hope that TV.com and others will put on Full Episodes of Seasons One and two of Knight Rider (1982). Too Me it's still a great show. Even the new one. hide « show »

    Knight Rider 1982 really didn't not get good till the second season. I won't put out any spoilers in case someone decides to put the Full Lenght Episodes on the tv.com website. When the New show came out it didn't have the thing were they were going after single cases. Like F.L.A.G. now that the SCIC is gone maybe it'll pick up with Flag. However, Nothing really beats a good classic. I I really hope that both Knight Rider Classic 1982 and the new Knight Rider that comes on now (hopefully gets renewed, keeping my fingers crossed). They are both a great show and should continue.

    Micheal Knight, a lone crusader who fights crime with the help of KITT, his automated car. hide « show »

    One of the best 1980's action series,a nd quite possibly one of the best of all time. David Hasselhoff and Edward Mulhare are both perfectly cast in their respective roles. The effects, although mostly umimpressive by today's standards, are still pretty good for the 80s. Great opening song that never leaves your head. KITT is a wonderful character in his own right, full of the wit and humor that the show requires. The first three seasons are pure genuis, full of original episodes and clever writing. The series was evidently slipping but he fourth season, as evident by the addition of RC3, who the show really didn't need at all. Still great, innocent fun.

    In a short story this show is about one hell of a guy and one hell of car. Michael Long a ex police officer becomes Michael Knight after a crime gone wrong almost kills him. Michael works for Flag now. With an amazing car called Kitt. The car is sweet. hide « show »

    I can admit I watched most of the episodes from this show. And of course I was a diehard fan. When it was on my parents used to let me stay up to watch this one at night. Growing up in the 80s was a good time for tv shows. I remember I came away learning some tough lessons about life early on. I know its not fair. When it comes time to step up for something and your right. You have to put your foot down. No matter how many idiots there are around you. It might be you against all them but use your head first. If that doesnt work you do whatever ya have to. To make sure you dont get hurt. Its common sense. And I believe deep down no matter how hard life can get you can make a difference for you or someone you care about.

    Knight Rider is my favorite show ever - JamesLimborg.com hide « show »

    Yes... When I think about it... For me... The Knight Rider show wins #1 for being my all time favorite tv show. I watching that show and would sit and wait through ever commercial excited for the show to come on again. I wanted a car like the Knight Rider... hahahahah... I did end up buying a Pontiac Firebird S/E for my 1st car... and I still drive that car today! (It has 210,000 miles on it, bought it in 1988 and still drive it in 2008). My car reminds me of the show. They make some really nice replicas of the car these days... but having the car come to life has not happened yet. That's what I liked about the show most... the car being there to take care of any problems... Making me feel safe. - JamesLimborg.com

    The Best Of The 80's hide « show »

    I have to say everyone get the dvd of the series you will not be disappointed. Now this show wasn't high tech or anything it was more like gorilla style. First season you will notice so many errors they did but thats just the lack of things they didn't have back then.

    Another thing to be aware of is that they use the story line for lasers and guns a little to often and it leaves you a little disappointed. After a few times with the story of a laser and laser gun you start to roll your eyes. But i guess they were trying to act different from all other t.v shows that was out.

    Now the plus on this is the acting is great you can put the acting the relationship into the most horrific episode and they'll make it great. You got to know Devon Bonnie April K.i.t.t Micheal Rc3 they didn't leave a piece out of them they developed them great in the show and so many t.v shows are lacking that.

    This show was possibly the funnest 50 minutes you can spend its simple you'll get mystery action sci fi and romance in this classic and the acting is not a thing you turn away from.

    Everyone needs to own the series its one of those gems that needs to be shown off.
