- CreatorGlen A. LarsonStarsDavid HasselhoffEdward MulhareRichard BasehartA lone crimefighter battles the forces of evil with the help of a virtually indestructible and artificially intelligent supercar.'Knight Rider' is an excellent TV Show, I watched it in the 80's, loved it, still watch the repeats being shown on UK TV, but here are 5 things that I don't like about the TV Show, Could have been better/are the worst.
1) Three times Michael Knight had to tell KITT to Shut Up which was hilarious, once in one episode and twice in another episode. I don't know if i feel/felt that KITT talked too much or whether Michael Knight was rude to KITT, but in 'Airwolf' or 'Street Hawk' Stringfellow Hawke didn't have to tell Dominic Santini or Archangel to Shut Up and in 'Street Hawk' Jesse Mach didn't have to tell Norman to shut up.
2) In Those two episodes 'Knight Rider' seemed more like a US TV Comedy than a proper classic 80's TV Show such as 'Airwolf' and 'Street Hawk'.
3) Sometimes the TV Show and KITT were overrated. Fans always thought KITT was indestructible and nothing/no one could destroy/beat it, but they are wrong because KITT is weak and in two episodes of Knight Rider two experienced Computer Experts hacked into KITT's s systems and programmes which meant KITT had to be reprogrammed. in the second episode the young criminal aka Experienced Computer Expert had control and took control of the car. This wasn't the case in 'Airwolf' or 'StreetHawk'. No one could, no highly experienced computer expert nor anyone could steal 'Airwolf' or could hack into or take 'Airwolfs' systems and programmes and 'Airwolfs' systems and programmes never had to be reprogrammed only Archangel had control of 'Airwolf', the same applied to 'Streethawk' no one, no highly experienced computer expert nor anyone could hack into 'Streethawks' systems or programmes only Norman Tuttle had control of 'Streethawk' and 'Streethawk' never had to be reprogrammed.
4) KITT had some awesome power but proved on YouTube in a battle against 'Street Hawk', 'Street Hawk' won. 'Street Hawk' could and can do things KITT can't do.
5) Proved on YouTube in a battle against 'Airwolf' KITT couldn't destroy 'Airwolf'. Stringfellow Hawke and Dominic Santinis excellent flight skills experience and skills using 'Airwolf' made it very difficult for KITT. 'Airwolf' has a huge arsenal, is full equipped and was firing lethal missiles, copperheads, shrike missiles, hellfire missiles very fast and quickly which proved KITT isn't as powerful as 'Street Hawk' or 'Airwolf'.
6) KITT was a fully equipped car with some weapons but according to a YouTube viewer and which I definitely do agree with, KITT definitely needs more guns/weapons.
7) KITT also at times was not nice, he also was too oversensitive, very fussy, complaining and making lots of complaints to a lot of things including the nice ways Michael Knight spoke. He also fussed about animals walking a bit away from the car. In fact at times KITT was too fussy and selfish because those innocent animals didn't come too close to the car and needed to walk around which KITT didn't want. His voice was a bit irritating, because that's not how the voice actor for KITT William Daniels spoke when interviewed by people. KITT's voice was a more computerised voice which sounded different and as I said was a bit irritating at times.
'Knight Rider' was always an excellent 80's TV which I watched in the 80's and now watch the repeats of being shown on UK TV, but I always and still prefer 'Airwolf' and 'Street Hawk'.
8) I have the TV Show Box sets of 6 80's US TV Shows but I don't have 'Knight Rider'. The reason why is because I was much more amazed with and by the 6 80's US TV Show DVD Box Sets I have which include 'Airwolf' and 'Street Hawk'. Oh Yeah I definitely was and am more fascinated by 'Airwolf' and 'Street Hawk'. It appealed to me more than 'Knight Rider'. To be honest I don't want to have, don't need to have and am not desperately wanting to have a 'Knight Rider' US TV Show DVD Box Set.
9) KITT was a bit intimidating to some people who got in Michael Knights car to go somewhere. When KITT started talking the guest/guests in the car was/were intimidated by KITT and would respond saying "What was that", "Who was that" because they were shocked to know that Michael Knights car KITT could actually talk. The worse thing though, was that a Black Trans Am Sports Car which looked exactly like KITT but was called KARR(Knight Automated Roving Robot) and was a villain to Michael and KITT. In fact it was absolutely silly and unnecessary to have a car looking exactly the same as KITT does and call it KARR. It was good in some episodes but KARR who has a horrible and more sinister voice to KITT is a very malicious Villain.
10) The theme tune to 'Knight Rider' is very good but the them tunes to 'Airwolf' and 'Street Hawk' by Sylvester Levay and Tangerine Dream are much more powerful and are absolutely awesome and brilliant compared to the 'Knight Rider' TV Show theme tune.
