Michael Knight is a man on a mission. Reborn, so to speak, after getting shot in the face, Knight decides to dedicate his life to fighting for justice. Just a awesome show

You got to love that last clip in your video. Watch the fuel come out of the filler door when the stunt driver spins out.

I got to sit in KITT in 84 or 85 at a car show at the Rosemont Horizon in Chicago. It was one of my favorite shows when I was a kid.

I just love the 3rd gen Pontiac F body. Kitt is a awesome car. Knight Rider as a show, way to much cheese. I ha a 1982 Firebird SE I bought in 1985 then sold it. After I retired from the Army I bought a 1984 Trans Am. I absolutely love that car. It still looks modern even today. It get plenty of thumbs up at the car shows and weekend drives. Thanks for sharing.

It was a great TV show as a kid, but if you re-watch it as an adult, man there are so many mistakes in the show. As always, thanks for the insight.

Not too shabby! You got most of the facts correct - clearly you've watched our channel! Great narration, great photos.

It was wild to see the Blind-drive cars again. As for the SPMs on of those cars were originally one of the other KITT's used for the show "Junkyard Dog". Lastly yup Joe and AJ who own the screen-used KITT's have their own channel Knight Rider Historians 😎

Reminds me of Jeremy Clarkson's plaintive question _"HOW do they get so little power out of such a big engine?!_

[andregonsalvez]

Great information and this was one of my favorites TV show. Thx for bringing and recollection of the past .😊

Sure was fun to see one of these or a Big Foot as a kid. Having a Polaroid next to one was neat.

I recall too, as a kid 1980s, 📺 how Devon from Knight Industries explains to Michael how KITTs ext is a high tech polymer, bonded material like what was used on the NASA Space Shuttle 🚀.

That least scene with the gas spilling out of the car 😅
