Knight Rider	comment	A fairly simple concept about a modern cowboy with his horse being the coolest of '80s cars, the Pontiac Trans Am. The original series aired on NBC from 1982-1986.Police officer Michael Long was wounded when he interfered with criminal activities. His face scarred and everyone thinking he is dead, he accepts an offer by an eccentric millionaire to have his identity changed and his face reconstructed. In return he becomes a high-tech vigilante dealing with criminals who operate above the law. The man behind this offer is Wilton Knight, the owner of Knight Industries. Wilton strongly believes that one man (Michael) can make a difference.Accepting the challenge, Michael Long becomes Michael Knight. To aid him, he is given a car — and what a car it is! So much horsepower it can't be measured, every electronic device imaginable and then some, impervious to anything short of heavy artillery — and controlled by an Artificial Intelligence with the voice of William Daniels. The Knight Industries Two Thousand — "KITT" — was the real star of the show; David Hasselhoff's Michael was simply a plot device used to give the car something to do and someone to banter with. In fact, according to Wikipedia, the show was created in response to a perceived lack of leading men who could act, with then NBC Entertainment president Brandon Tartikoff suggesting that a talking car could fill in the gaps in any leading man's acting abilities.Backed by the secretive Foundation for Law and Government (FLAG), headed up by Edward Mulhare's Devon Miles, Michael and KITT pursue a never-ending crusade against, well, just about anybody who seems to be a bad guy that week, defeating them with a turbo boost, a microwave zap, and the durability of a front line heavy battle tank.For the final season, KITT was given the ability to transform into an armored high-speed mode, and also given a convertible top to showcase Pontiac's new convertible Trans Am. Although the Product Placement is obvious (and the show referred to the car as a Trans Am early on) the brand-name drop was eliminated at the request of Pontiac, as buyers were asking for options that weren't actually available on production models. Thereafter the car was referred to by bystanders simply as a "black T-top."Few people would argue that the show was intellectual, but it thrived on the Rule of Cool and Hasselhoff's suave performance. Not only that, it was a good family show, essentially aimed towards children yet dressed up as adult fare.Much like Remington Steele, it had Idiosyncratic Episode Naming with "Knight" as a pun: "Knight of the Phoenix", "A Good Knight's Work", etc.Not to be confused with Kamen Rider Dragon Knight. Or with George A. Romero's Knightriders.Here's a character sheet for the original series.Recap page under construction.The show has been revived (or attempted to be) several times: 1991 with the TV movie Knight Rider 2000, which was mostly the same concept but had KITT transferred into a Pontiac Banshee concept car. Despite high ratings it never materialized into a series, probably because the TV movie was set 20 Minutes into the Future and a series based on that would have been too expensive. 1994 reimagined it as Knight Rider 2010, which was ill received, mainly due to a radically different premise with a heavy Mad Max theme, and pretty much being In Name Only. 1997 had a new full-fledged series, Team Knight Rider. Lasted a season as a part of the Action Pack and had a small fleet of intelligent cars. Around November/December 2015, a series of teaser trailers (from Knight Industries Media Inc.) emerged for a new project called Knight Rider Heroes, starring Hasselhoff and Anthony Marcus.The franchise has also appeared in LEGO Dimensions.

Knight Rider / int_17b72e30	comment	Continuity Porn: Inversion: The lack of said continuity between the 1982 and 2008 series is a major source of fan disappointment. It may also be the reason Team Knight Rider didn't catch on with more of the KR fandom. Some fans, however, enjoy speculation and Fix Fics dealing with the above subjects. Despite the lack of the continuity between the original series and Knight Rider 2000, there is one bit of continuity that carried over between the original series characters and the film: Michael mentions in Season 1's "Forget Me Not" that he had a '57 Chevy as a teenager that he loved. Michael's car in the TV movie that he installs KITT into is a '57 Chevy.

Knight Rider / int_40496097	comment	AI Is A Crap Shoot: Discussed in "Trust Doesn't Rust" with regards to KITT's Psycho Prototype, KARR. KARR was programmed for self-preservation, but not the preservation of human life. This oversight resulted in a Nigh-Invulnerable, artificially-intelligent supercar with zero regard for the lives of its pilot and any other humans that get in the way of its mission. Seeing the inherent danger, Wilton Knight had KARR deactivated and mothballed, and then had KARR's successor KITT programmed more carefully in defiance of the trope. With good reason, it turned out; after being reactivated and discovering his replacement, KARR made it his mission to destroy his altruistically-programmed successor and kill that successor's human partner as an act of revenge against his creator.

Knight Rider / int_4856ac40	comment	Stock Footage: To save the expense of spectacular footage, the original series liberally used whatever footage available to substitute. Examples include using the climactic crash of the titular vehicular monster, The Car multiple times, especially for the initial defeat of KARR in "Trust Doesn't Rust" and the canyon flooding visual from Superman: The Movie is used in "Not a Drop to Drink". The transformations sequences for Super Pursuit Mode. There was one for daylight (the most used) and one for nighttime. All the shots of the controls being operated were reused in multiple episodes. Occasionally, this caused humorous goofs. For instance, one episode wrongly used a shot of the Turbo Boost button being pressed by Michael when KITT was driving himself. Another time, there was a different character in the car and the same shot used for Michael was reused. In another episode, Michael was driving a different car wearing a blue racing costume. A shot of his leg pressing the accelerator was stock footage which had his leg in grey pants and black shoes.

Knight Rider / int_4f4372e9	comment	Early-Installment Weirdness: Early in the first season, Turbo Boost was only a short-duration speed boost, not the Ramp Jump (without the ramp) it soon developed into. Interestingly enough, the "Super Pursuit Mode" that debuted in Season 4 was essentially the "short-duration speed boost" Turbo Boost originally was. KITT's "speech" panel was also different - a solid block of color, rather than the bars. Said solid-block speech indicator also varied between having the text "KNIGHT 2000" printed on it, and just being a blank panel. KITT's front bumper can be seen changing between two different designs during "Knight of the Phoenix", before settling on the design that would remain until "Knight of the Juggernaut." Also, Michael was more clearly the protagonist and KITT less emotional.

KITT is still built on the frame of an 80s American sports car, and that platform just isn't massive enough to be fully indestructible. Military-grade weapons are a concern, but perhaps most notably, Goliath. The same formula that makes KITT Nigh-Invulnerable applied to a massive semi truck, simple physics means KITT comes off worse every time the two go head-to-head.

Knight Rider / int_8b221a63	comment	Reed Richards Is Useless: While the technology that Wilton Knight produced can be extremely dangerous (KARR, the times when someone has taken over KITT or used KITT's body), they are overlooking one important thing- Wilton Knight built a self-driving car. Build a normal car without the Molecular Bonded Shell or the other gadgets his supercars have (like Turbo Boost or Microwave Jammer), maybe even dumb down the AI a bit (where the AI can still drive but it can't play trivia games). Now you have a vehicle that can drive itself with a 0% error rate and can take over driving if the operator cannot. Traffic accidents? Gone. Driver falls asleep at the wheel? No problem. Driver is intoxicated or is under the influence of drugs? The car can drive them home. It really flies in the face of "one man can make a difference" when fighting "criminals above the law" seeing as how KITT and Michael help just one person a week, when this technology can save hundreds every day. The only explanation why this occurs is when Devon explains to Michael that Wilton didn't allow his technology to be used is because some tech from Wilton had been stolen in the past. In "Trust Doesn't Rust", while explaining why no one ever got around to trying to fix KARR, Devon mentions that Knight Industries had been financially crippled by the same technology theft ring that almost killed Michael and left him for dead in the desert in the pilot episode, so that's as good an explanation as any for why the tech never went into mass production.

We'd seen him bashed, smashed and even blown up before, but never eaten from the inside. Seeing the state the car was in after being pulled from the acid suggested that there was absolutely no way in hell KITT could possibly have survived. He had, of course, but still. And to top it off, much of the episode from then on showed that KITT had actually been traumatized by the whole ordeal. The episode "Scent of Roses". First off, Michael nearly leaves the Foundation after one bullet to the gut too many. Then they finish the episode by killing Stevie Mason. If Hasslehoff had gotten his wish to make this the final episode of the series, it would've been one helluva Downer Ending.

Though in both Garthe and KARR's cases it's a case of the good ones being mirrors of the evil/morally ambiguous originals, and Goliath was more of an Evil Counterpart (and its arguable whether it was even that, since unlike KITT it had no AI running it). Thus, it could be said that Goliath is more of an evil twin/counterpart to the Rook, the FLAG semi. Subverted with Bronwyn Appleby, as she was wearing a mask and wig to impersonate Bonnie.

Knight Rider / int_b53077b3	type	Take That!
Knight Rider / int_b53077b3	comment	Take That!: A very blatant example occurs in the first season of the original Knight Rider. The episode features a race between cars running on alternative fuel (KITT's liquid hydrogen included), and one of the cars is an orange Dodge Charger, driven by two stereotypical Southern state villagers, and runs on moonshine. Guess which show this is supposed to be. When the race eventually happens, Michael and KITT first Turbo Boost way above that car and barely halfway into the episode, the car blows up and nobody inside survives. In an earlier ad before the series began, KITT's specifications are compared to those of a suspiciously similar Dodge Charger, with the tagline "Competition is No Competition". Possibly as a response to General Motors not allowing any Product Placement and thus keeping the words "Pontiac", "Trans Am" and "Firebird" off limits, KITT has a line in the fourth season praising Henry Ford's choice of colour- which is the same colour as KITT. General Motors advertised multiple colour choices in an era of black Fords.

KITT's voice would sound abnormally deep and slow, or flat out distorted whenever he was badly damaged, this was usually a sure sign that the situation was dire. His voice becomes deeper and gains a heavy Dalek-esque modulation when he's reprogrammed by a rogue FLAG member in "Killer KITT". This reprogramming is found to be far more effective than the earlier attempt, in the sense that it even extends to having KITT adopt lousy grammar such as "ain't". Played for Laughs in "Out of the Woods", where an accident involving a rock causes KITT to switch between his normal voice and a Bronx accent every time he hit a bump or used Turbo Boost.

He and KITT repeatedly call out Michael for losing the money by reminding him who the charity was for. He manages to get it back later, albeit with a small amount missing due to some of it being used to rent a helicopter.

Trying to chase villains over uneven terrain KITT ends up sliding off a hill and rolling. After that they installed suspension control, letting KITT get a few extra inches to make such a chase.

Knight Rider / int_dc579c91	comment	Contrived Coincidence: Three involving a Running Gag with a random citizen and KITT: One had KITT berate a used car salesman for lying to his customers by trying to sell them rickety cars. Later, he decides to come clean to a customer interested in one by telling her all the faults with it. Said customer turned out to be an engineering student, who was looking for a fixer-upper. She happily buys the car off him. Another one had KITT trying to console a depressed woman concerned with her weight and finding a love life. She later accidentally bumps into a lawyer, who she told KITT was someone she wanted to meet earlier. KITT then gets an idea and plays a tape with romantic music on it to further the scenario. Upon seeing a homeless man, KITT decided to give him 5 dollars. Later, said homeless man turns up much better since he bought a winning lottery ticket with it.

In KARR's first appearance (which took place within those first 13 episodes), the screen had a amber synthesizer-like graphic, which was well received, and a modified red version was adopted for KITT midway through the first season. Season three updated it slightly to be more complex. KITT's dashboard gets completely overhauled in the third season premiere, and his front bumper gets redesigned to a more angular version in the fourth season.

The "Passive Laser Restraint System" was implied to be an inertial dampening system that made seat belts unnecessary.

Knight Rider / int_f2dadf81	comment	Evil Twin: Six of them: Garthe Knight to Michael Knight, KARR to KITT, Goliath to KITT (Or Rook the FLAG semi), Jonathan Elliott (post laser reconstruction) to Devon, possibly Adrianne Margeaux to Bonnie or April, and KARR-E to "KI3T". Though in both Garthe and KARR's cases it's a case of the good ones being mirrors of the evil/morally ambiguous originals, and Goliath was more of an Evil Counterpart (and its arguable whether it was even that, since unlike KITT it had no AI running it). Thus, it could be said that Goliath is more of an evil twin/counterpart to the Rook, the FLAG semi. Subverted with Bronwyn Appleby, as she was wearing a mask and wig to impersonate Bonnie. In "Knight of the Chameleon" a criminal Master of Disguise uses a Latex Perfection mask to impersonate Michael Knight, and mimics Devon's voice in a phone call. Michael even comments how one Evil Twin is already a headache, two is just ridiculous.

Averted in another episode in which a diamond thief on the run has plastic surgery to change his appearance. Instead of being played by a different actor for the last 20 minutes of the episode, he's instead just the same actor with some rather obvious-looking Star Trek: The Original Series-level facial prosthetics applied to his face.
