I love how KITT is everyone at once. He's a wide-eyed innocent kid, a grumpy old man, a veteran with PTSD and most of all a great friend. How is it possible to feel so much for what is essentially just a voice. William Daniels will forever be a legend.

So, a Clone trooper.

[@puppylove3781]

He's a real-life Mr Feeny. Next episode of Car Meets World, he can take him to the 80's spots he missed, enjoyed some laughs, and tried to stay out of trouble as car drama permits. ;) He really looks good in White, cool car!

To this day this is one of my favourite episodes in the series. It shows not only that KITT is like a person when he's hurt, but his friendship with Michael has become so close.

[@dininliketony917]

To this day, K.I.T.T being dumped into that acid is the most heartbreaking scene I’ve ever watched. Seeing him literally destroyed like that was so devastating for me as a kid growing up. To me, K.I.T.T isn’t just a car and a computer. He’s like a person and a friend. Even though he was hurt, I believe this made him grow and be even better. To me, K.I.T.T will always be the greatest car of all time.

KITT puts on a brave face, but he's really so scared inside. I can tell. It reminds me of some private moments I've had with my own car. She's proud, but sometimes she needs encouragement. That Trans Am was a great actor.

[@MikeDragon]

The moment they realize KITT was, in simple terms, scared and afraid but trying to act brave to hide it, was very heartbreaking. Not so much for their realization, but for KITT himself to be under such condition. Even though he's basically just a machine with a built-in highly advanced computer onboard. That AI has far more personality and emotions than most human beings, so it is really easy to sympathize with him.

that was one thing (well, one of many things) I didnt like in the 2008 sequel series. KI3T was very emotionless, which was weird since the 3000 was supposed to be more advanced than KITT

[@MikeDragon]

​@@cernstormrunner7263 I fully agree. K3K was also a lot more frail than K2K. His body was sturdy on its own due to the special coat on on his paintjob while K3K relied exclusively on nanotechnology, which in turn was completely reliant on the AI to work. If the AI was turned off or removed, the body would become no stronger than any ordinary Mustang or other normal car, becoming completely vulnerable to everything. K2K on the other hand, if turned off or removed from the car (as it did happen on multiple occasions throughout the show), would still remain nearly indestructible and so long as the driver could manage the controls, could still perform almost all of its special functions, which is something the car on the reboot could not do. That was another one of the many things that bothered me. The special coat the original KITT had should have been used on the new KITT in unison with the nanotech. _That_ would have been an actual advancement. Though honestly, the coat itself was already too advanced on its own, even on its time.

[@Exoneos]

It's at that point I knew as a kids that K.I.T.T. was more than a machine that his computer program developped a soul. It was at that moment I knew K.I.T.T. was no more but Kitt rose to became his own thing a living being in a shape of Trans-Am ♥

@@nationalcitysycho His body is a car, but he has an artificial inteligence. U know that. Even main actor of the series already said that the objetive of the creator was a relationship between the protagonist with KITT, like a cowboy with his loyal horse. That in the beginning he would be like a machine, but the protagonist never wanted to treat KITT like a machine. Thats why since the beginning Michael called KITT as "buddy". Thats was awsome and clever for that time. Cuz nowdays we have bunch of movies and tv series in the sci fi genre talking about artificial inteligence in many levels of philosophy. What defines conscience? Something of an extra corporeal, formless and invisible nature? Or just electrochemical stimuli and impulses interpreted by our brain? If it is the second option, then could a machine with artificial intelligence also have consciousness? Could it have feelings? And so on. I think you underestimated the episode or maybe the entire series and thought small.

[@AndrewChapman]

1:26 You know, while "Junk Yard Dog" and "Knight of the Drones" are both great episodes, I often feel KITT sinking in acid could've happened at the start of Season 3, leading to his dashboard upgrade. KITT sinking with his old dash disintegrating would've felt like a tragic loss after being associated with it in Seasons 1 & 2. Then of course introduce his new dash when he's being recreated and restored. Sometimes feel that would've been a better cause for KITT's dash upgrade than a missile fired up his exhaust in "Drones". But hey, I still enjoy these episodes as they are. Was just merely thinking 'what if' :)

[@phoenixblack1220]

This deserved to be a 2-hour episode. Also, I read somewhere, this particular car was the car they used to become the Super Pursuit Mode car. Not sure how true that is.

[@AndrewChapman]

Actually, I think that's the Seasons 1-2 car, which they continued using after KITT's dashboard upgrade in "Knight of the Drones" for these blind driving scenes. Cuz if you look closely during this scene, there's a couple shots where you can just see those little twin monitors of the Seasons 1-2 dash instead of the big single monitor of the Seasons 3-4 dash. For this scene, they put white padding or something on the car to make it appear white. And yes I agree, this should've been a 2-hour episode.

[@phoenixblack1220]

@@AndrewChapman yes, it was definitely a season 1-2 car. You might be right about the covering, I always thought it was just a bad primer job. Will have to wait and see what the Knight Rider Historians say when they break this episode down. Also, if memory serves me, in KITT v KARR, at the end, when Michael tells John that he owns the marina, I believe that too is a season 1-2 car as it has a two tv dash.

[@michaelhamilton6553]

They used 2 cars for these scenes. The one pulled out of the pit and shown in the repair bay was originally a season 3 stunt car and later used as the static super pursuit vehicle. It was only used for the close up shots of the various fins and vents extending. it had the engine and interior pulled out to make room for the hydraulics that worked it. It was a train wreck auto so had to be crushed when the series ended. The car seen driving round the course was most likely the season 1 & 2 backup hero car (hence the 2 screen dash visible) and modified to be a blind drive car. By the time the episode was filmed, the main, season 1 & 2 hero car had been destroyed during filming and pretty sure none of the stunt cars had the full dash in them. If it was the backup hero car then it was one Universal owned outright so wouldn't have been crushed and probably survived. Not sure where it ended up though.

Love how they handled Dr. Von Vorman here, instead of making a stereotypical, coldhearted and uncaring scientist. They made him into caring and empathetic character. He may say some harsh things about KITT and being strict, but not to be mean but to be honest and convey the gravity of the situation and acts out of compassion, despite his stoic, clinical, and professional demeanor would suggest.

[@carbonara2144]

"I have been poked, prodded and violated" It sounds like KITT would have been in jail or something.

I like how an obviously serious mechanical issue causing a fireball is pooh-poohed by Michael as KITT just needing to get in shape.

[@gearsofwar3xXx]

Yes, a fire right by the fuel tank is usually an issue, lol. Could be a tad dangerous.

Kitt's explosive fart there at the end 🤣👌

I love this show, and seeing it as a kid it was sooo awesome but let me say mind out: for an (supposedly) indestructible car KITT sure got destroyed and damaged easily. When i saw him being dipped to the acid I thought - surely he has some turboboosters or some microjam to prevent him from beind dipped. But he got dipped and I was sad and pissed at the same time. It was kind of a let down, i felt he could have escaped somehow. Rocket boosters, harpoon and winch maybe? And that's not the only episode, where i felt that. He had been tampered with and whatever multiple times. For an top secret project he had surprisingly bad security for one- like not noticing "Bonnie" doing harmful things or whatever it might have been in a particular episodes. And molecular shell composition being stolen... list goes on and on. I realize those were plot requirements. Obviously if KITT had been indestructible, then there would have been no danger of him destroyed in many episodes. He would have TuboBoosted straight through Goliath and others just like that. But that for one would't have worked well now wouldn't it.

Between the General Lee and KITT, I learned to humanize cars and see them other than machines. lol

[@davidbarlow1979]

My favourite episode of all four seasons without a doubt.

[@jamescity1160]

Michael and KITT are my heroes ❤️

[@technewsfortechnoobs]

I watched this show religiously as a kid and I apparently either missed this story, or I am completely not remembering it at all.

[@torquetheprisoner]

thats what makes this show so good you know kitt is strong but kitt can get damaged and destroyed

[@williamhaggard451]

Michael mentions to KITT his experience he had before they met shot in the face to help KITT before going after Byrock

[@user-sj9lt2vw2z]

KITT definitely had PTSD, he looked so pale

[@BigHairyKev]

*Poor KITT!* ⭐😃👍
