ABOUT KNIGHT RIDER:
David Hasselhoff stars as Michael Knight in his breakout role as a crime fighter who awakens from a serious injury with a new identity. In the series premiere, Las Vegas police detective Michael Arthur Long is shot in the face and left for dead before being rescued by dying millionaire Wilton Knight, the chairman of Knight Industries and creator of the public justice organization, the Foundation for Law and Government (FLAG). Wilton makes Michael the primary agent for FLAG, giving him a new identity via plastic surgery and the name Michael Knight, plus an arsenal of equipment to continue his crime-fighting work. Principle among this equipment is the Knight Industries Two Thousand, or KITT, a heavily modified and artificially intelligent Pontiac Firebird Trans Am with the ability to talk, fire weapons and travel at high speed. Michael and KITT work together to take down criminals who operate above the law.

[@OPMaster1978]

A lot of people probably laugh at this show now, but I can tell you as a five year old kid, KITT was one of the coolest things ever.

[@mabehal-zuqyadeek8593]

I can confirm. This was my favorite show ever growing up and KITT was the main reason. Super cool car.

OPMaster1978 I agree completely, and KITT was way ahead of his time. A lot of his technologies (navigation, self-driving/parking, talking, etc) are becoming popular in cars of today!

[@ERTMedias]

OPMaster1978 indeed! I'm now with 36 years-old, but I still love Knight Rider series, and this theme (from Stu Phillips).

That narrator deserves a lot of credit. What a voice.

[@axilmar254]

This is so iconic for that era. At least 50% of the coolness of a show is its musical theme. And in the 70s and 80s we had a plethora of shows/cartoons that could be recognized from their music. This was one of them.

[@RJAmos]

[@NOBLEGAMING21]

Human beings are wired for FEELINGS - and music is a major component in putting us in that mood or state of mind. Music puts us in a state we want to feel and as long as that happens - you have a timeless classic. The build-up and tension that emerges until KITT shows up and lyrics set in - just damn.

[@laurarules3642]

Music definitely is interwoven into humans DNA or brains . Its why when you go to the gym you'll see people with headphones listening to music to give them increased motivation . I spend on average 4 hours per day almost every day in the gym and the music I listen to is all motivational music . Music that makes you feel indestructible and (without knowing it or being aware) the music has also improved my confidence, self esteem and social anxiety . When you're listening to upbeat positive stuff for hours every day it changes your mindset and thoughts . I guess the increased cardio and fitness also helps . But music unlocks and activates something in human brains thats for sure. Just like you could have a playful kitten thats cute and adorable but if you show it a youtube video of mice running around it just unlocks the cats hunting and predator instincts and those instincts will override everything and it will start attacking your computer screen like it believes its a lion lol

I am 47 years old and watched this tv series in the 80s. One of the best shows and as a kid the theme songs for Knight Rider, The A Team and CHIPs will forever be imprinted in my mind

[@jordanferreri5377]

This was WAY before my time but thanks to reruns I was able to see this when I was a kid! An amazing show, and it sparked my imagination!

If this isn't the best intro commentary for a show, I don't know what is.

[@BigBadjohn0x0]

How about...In 1972 a crack commando unit was sent to prison by a military court for a crime they didn't commit,these promptly escaped from a maximum securoity stockade to the Los Angeles Underground I ain't getting on no plane,,,crazy fool, come on admit it now you have Mr T in your head LoL

[@BK_gamer_]

KITT was featured at Universal Studios in the '80s. My family visited there and I got to sit in the car and talk to KITT. Of course, I thought it was a real talking car. I asked KITT why he drove so fast. Did he ever fear getting pulled over by the cops? KITT said he wasn't worried about it because he could drive faster than the cops and escape. Hahaha.

[@Cobra-cb1rs]

Yes I remember talking to kiTT as well, as a kid visiting Universal Studios as tourists in USA. I cant remember our conversation but it was the coolest thing. I remember buying a couple of souvenir toy KiTT cars afterwards.

[@WesMordine]

Such a cool memory! By the time I went to Universal in Florida, I think it was way too late.

[@Vancouver4u]

We all grew up with this music in our heads 😄❤️

[@spaceenemiesnovel]

When I was with friends in the 80s, I made sure I had to go home so I did not miss Knight Rider. Great memories.

[@retronessisfabulous]

Whenever I visited my grandparents as a kid, my grandpa would have this show on ALL the time! I still remember the intro haha

[@noahpartic7586]

Your Grandpa watched that show😱? Get out😄.

[@RelaxMode1]

This song made this series a masterpiece 💕💖

[@usernoname9642]

As an 80's kid this was incredible.

[@SakuraKinomoto645]

Knight Rider is one of my new favorite tv shows

[@Tertullian1971]

The narrator is Richard Basehart, who had an eloquent voice like James Earl Jones. They also had him speak at the closing ceremonies of the 1984 Los Angeles Olympics.

[@seaningram3285]

He portrayed "Wilton Knight" in the Pilot Episode "Knight of The Phoenix" :)

[@Quibblet]

I can't believe he was the goofy clown from "La Strada."

[@ricardocantoral7672]

He was an immensely talented actor. I highly recommend watching his performances in 14 Hours and He Walked By Night.

[@dja-train2265]

I was just going to ask who this was. Sounds almost but not quite like William Conrad.

[@rfichokeofdestiny]

I love the exaggerated breathiness and hesitancy of his delivery here. Vincent Price did this kind of thing too. It sounds a bit artificial and hokey now, but it was part of an earlier generation of oratory and delivery that’s still fascinating to listen to. Same goes for the stentorian announcer voices they used to have on shows like Superfriends.

[@andrewphillips8198]

The music hooked me when this premiered. That break at 0:48 was so smooth. Great time to be a kid. This and Air Wolf were so so good

I'm 41 years and can say that when I was a kid I heard this songs it was the best feeling that I could hear, was exciting. Time stopped

[@theflyxx]

An iconic theme song and quite possibly THE greatest tv show theme song of all time. A great theme song and an awesome intro with KITT driving thru the desert with that colored horizon with shots of his tech and feats is a win-win for any tv show intro.

[@KarmaKahn]

I would say Airwolf is the coolest by some margin, but the 80's in general had really memorable theme scores.

[@neutralgrounds07]

Yes airwolf still had a cooler intro theme but these shows are in a class of their own...

[@dancingmonkey08]

A shadowy flight into the dangerous world of a man who does not exist...how damn cool is that to this day....happy 40th KITT and Michael Knight!
