Thumbs up if you grew up in the 1980's watching this Show

[@sharoneasley9717]

I did! 👍

[@606danco]

I was Born in 82 but never saw the show back then. Saw it for the first time in 2000

[@PhenomProductions23]

I was born in '92 and grew up watching the Reruns they were doing of Knight Rider and the A-Team on my Dads 29" Tv. I remember I was either 5 or 6 years old in 1997-1998 and the Channel was KDOC-TV 56, (Before TV was Digital) when you had local channels and didn't need Cable, and You had the Rabbit ear antennas, instead of converter boxes or Fiber Optic cable that started around 2009 when TV went Digital. Knight Rider came on at 5pm, and after it at 6pm was the A-Team which I also stayed tuned in for. I would always tune in around 4:55pm and saw the ending credits to a show called Saved by the Bell, which I didn't understand & didn't care for, seemed like a Goofy show about high school kids, and I wanted to see action not one liner pranks, when I saw the Opening scene of Knight Rider with the music all I saw was a Long Sleek Black Bullet Shaped Car with a Red light on the front moving from side to side speeding across the Desert as the sun was fading. And then you heard the Narrating from Wilton Night, and then you saw all the Quick shots of the Dashboard, the wheels, the Scanner light, the speedometer, the Tail lights, as he was narrating: Knight Rider, A Shadowy Flight into the Dangerous World of a Man... Who does Not Exist... *Music Intensifies* followed by Turbo Boost shots. Oh Man! that was It for a 6 year old me. I was Hooked like a Drug. I had found the Ultimate show, and I didn't even know what kind of a car it was, all I knew was that it was Long and Black and shaped like a Speeding Bullet, and that One day when I grew up, I was gonna find out what car that was and that I was gonna have one just like that!

[@digitalmagicAR]

Yeah certainly not the fastest way to get out of the parking lot but the studio wanted to demonstrate to the viewer that KITT was hot and thus used their 350 car to intentionally roast the tires like a boss so we wouldn't think KITT was inferior to the Porsche. That was indeed a hot car and that stunt driver handled it like a pro. love this scene

Gotta love the Herbie cameo. This specific car was used in Herbie Goes Bananas and the 1982 Herbie, the Love Bug television show. This, I think, was the last time a car from the show was ever seen. The reason only the blue stripe is visible is because it's the only graphic that was painted, but you can see the yellowed remnants of the other stripes and 53s. You can also see the custom seats, and even the Disney added clock on the dashboard. Also cool that Herbie Goes Bananas star Elyssa Davalos is in this episode too, I really wonder if she was even aware of the fact that Herbie is near her (in a Universal production, too).

[@reconforsales7708]

The 1982 Pontiac Firebird was a much better and refined specimen of a car than a Porsche 911 Turbo.

[@manoman0]

Not to mention the layout. The Firebird over the Porsche any day.

[@PhenomProductions23]

The 1982-1984 Trans Ams were and still are to this day Genius in Design and the most Aerodynamic Firebird Ever Made. Certainly the weakest in terms of Engines but they made up for it by designing the Most Low Drag Coefficient 0.29 Firebird Ever. And that is what matters because you can drop a Modern engine in these Trans Ams and have it be faster than the Porsche. And I've seen a 2002 LS1 Trans Am engine dropped in an 83 Trans Am Kitt Replica. With a Cam and Ported Heads, the car went from having a stock carbureted chevy 305ci making 145hp and 240 torque to a fuel injected 400hp 400 torque 5.7

[@junaidgt90]

😂 why did Michael have to start the engine when KITT knew that the pursuit has started 🤷‍♂️ Also permanent 4x4 was badly needed to avoid the burnouts

[@SparrowNoblePoland]

Yup. In the first episodes done by Glen Larson, it was said and shown that KITT had rocket thrusters which he could use to launch into high speed instantly. This ability was used though the show, with the sound effect but without mentioning the function, but in many scenes such as these, KITT is strangely unable to use them.

[@2yogz]

KITT is good. But that Porsche 911 was an epic model too!

[@killianmackenzie420]

Wow. I didn’t know Barney Fyffe rode motorcycle. Lol

[@Dagma31]

that Porche is clean and very nice. 🙂

[@CJDiecast]

I like how KITT has a built-in camera system with the clarity of a movie and at 1:58, his camera shows his own car from far away on the left of the screen. Very bad editing which is a common trait of this show. Very obvious that the supposed "camera" on KITT is just film crew footage acting as the eyes of people or machines in movies, especially when there's binoculars. Also at 3:46, KITT's got some front end damage even before bumping into the dump truck.

[@kitt28]

do you think theres a chance that the store had Security Cameras 32 years ago? maybe KITT tap into that :)

​@@zaytoonyNo, a cable stopped the car. The point of the shot was to get a sliding stop, nearly hitting the dump truck. But in case if it was a little too close for comfort, a cable was rigged to the chassis to stop KITT before he got damaged.

@@delanorrosey4730 thanks, that makes more sense.

[@delanorrosey4730]

@@zaytoony The Knight Rider Historians channel showed the front end of the car - badly damaged from previous stunts, collisions, etc. It was much cheaper for them to use a cable to prevent damage and then do a good job fixing the stunt car used in the scene later on when it was really trashed than it was to keep wrecking the cars and fixing them up, only to do it again later.

[@zaytoony]

@delanorrosey4730 Interesting, I'm pretty sure all those turbo boost shots wrecked a lot of cars. I think they had some sort of deal with Pontiac at the time. But still would've been expensive.

Notice the dog in the back of the two-door car at 1:29 and how it's gone, without sight or sound of it anywhere, by 1:33? I've seen the whole episode and the video of the dog in the car definitely feels like a reshoot after a script change. I may be wrong but that's my take on it.

Because the dog's supposed to have gotten out when he opens the car door. Which is part of the mystery later
