Title: Knight Rider.
Post by: Desert Tyrant on October 01, 2007, 06:36:10 pm: So... yeah, I know Knight Rider was, er... cheesy, but I loved the show.

Intro to Season 1:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AUplnn462uE (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AUplnn462uE)

I will point out two things: A): KITT vs. KARR is one of the greatest episodes ever, and B): The 1982 Pontiac Trans-AM ****ING RULED!

Post by: Flipside on October 02, 2007, 01:07:51 pm: Indeed, and the idea of adding new Gizmos to Kitt in order to make it more 'futuristic' to todays' viewers would probably just ruin things. Gull-Wing missile launchers sound good on paper, but look a bit dumb on film.

I was moving a Vauxhall Zafira in work today which had a shi4 talking securityy system;

"Hello! Such and such security system actived. Fasten safety belt" it said. Shi44ing them I am not.
