A shadowy flight into the dangerous world of a man who does
not exist. Knight Rider the TV series ran from 1982 to 1986. It
starred David Hasselhoff as Michael Knight.. But the main attraction
of Knight Rider was Michael Knight's car, KITT a transam. KITT was no
ordinary car , it was a transam that could talk, and that's not all
the Knight Rider KITT had a special function, this transam had turbo
boost. This function enabled Michael and KITT to literally jump over
semi trucks, and obtain speeds that no ordinary car could dream of if
a car could dream. The series most interesting episodes included the
pilot, the episode where KARR KITT's evil twin is introduced where
Larry from Bob Newhart takes a ride in KARR. There was Garth Knight ,
Michael's evil twin and a suped up semi truck named Goliath. About
the same time this episode came out there was a free blue print of
some new modifications to KITT that I personally sent off for.
Michael 's Boss was Devon Miles at the Foundation for Law and Order, and the mechanics were either Bonnie or April, depending on which season it was.
