Knight was once a cop, but after being shot and left for dead, he has become "a man who does not exist," working for the mysterious Foundation for Law and Government, as the opening credits explain. It was more than an equal to Knight (David Hasselhoff, in his pre-Baywatch pretty-boy glory), who supplied the derring-do as man and machine set off to right wrongs. Certainly when it hit the air in 1982, KITT, played by a souped-up Pontiac Trans Am, generated the most buzz - it could speed along at 300 mph, was equipped with flamethrowers, smoke bombs, and numerous other gadgets, had a bulletproof exterior, and was powered by an advanced computer that could think and even talk. It's hard to say who's the real star of KNIGHT RIDER - Michael Knight, the mysterious loner dedicated to pursuing justice, or KITT, the amazing black car that is his friend and ally. Michael and KITT are fighting against the crime and making the world a little better place to live. In the end, the mindset of the series can be seen more positive than negative. The negative sides of the series are that now and then there are mild swearing, mild drinking/smoking -references, mediocre violence, and sometimes Michael shows a little about his playboyish attitude towards women, of which KITT comments dryly with giving a hint of moralization towards Michael. I don't want to spoil the series too much, but I'll give a hint: KITT is not indestructible.Īs a conclusion: The most positive sides of the series are that it gives good messages, like "one man can make a difference" and the duo is also a good role model for younger audience. KITT is the logical side of the duo, and Michael completes the duo with his ability to think intuitively, of which is something that KITT is unable to do. Michael and KITT encounter failures now and then, and KITT can not help Michael with every problem. It is true, that on some episodes, the case is solved very easily, but that's not the case on all episodes. I am pretty sure that all who have presented such critique, haven't watched series for a very long time. The series has been criticized about straightforward plots and having an indestructible car. So, the series has also enough depth to attract older audience, too. Episodes like "Trust Doesn't Rust" also encourage watchers to think about the ethics of technological development. and human, written by American writers, while most of the famous stories on this baseline are usually written by Russian authors. Knight Rider is also a study about relationship between A.I. Larson, was able to combine the both aspects. Most of the series have always been either realistic drama or pure scifi, but on Knight Rider, the creator, Glen A. The style of the series is oldish, but it should be seen from it's historical context. Knight Rider is truly a classic from the eighties. We need inspiration and hope today, not dark, twisted, sex dramas. When the rating dropped really bad, they tried to get back to the original shows premise but it was too late. They had a chance to keep the fans happy but they made the 2008 KR and it was all about the terrorist of the week, sex and drama. We need more shows like the 80's Knight Rider. I have seen many of these KITT built cars in person, when you see it, you want to drive it. KITT is timeless, that front end with the scanner light and running lights down in the valance keeps him more current. The car KITT was awesome, and even though some people say he looks like a car that should be in a used car lot, he doesn't. The show was made for the whole family and it offered an inspiration to everyone to help other people, in other words something positive. The good guys won in this show, so it offered hope, not despair. It always had a moral direction, it wasn't like today's shows that is all about feeling sorry for the bad guy who just happens to be stronger and unbeatable. It was about a team that was like family. It wasn't about sex, not about pushing political views and it didn't have gore. The show was about helping the little guy mostly.
