More Knight Rider: KnightRiderOnline.com has more info and screenshots of the upcoming computer game, which will apparently be available for both the PS2 and the PC.
This Knight Rider FAQ has some great info, including a collection of "technical information." It quotes a TV directory's article on the show:
Brandon Tartikoff, youthful head of programming at NBC, once gave California magazine this version of the creation of Knight Rider: It seems he and one of his assistants were discussing the problems of casting handsome leading men in the series, because many of them can't act. Why not have a series, he mused, called "The Man of Six words," which would begin with the guy getting out of a woman's bed and saying "Thank You." Then he would chase down some villians and say "Freeze!" Finally the grateful almost-vitims would thank him, and he would murmur, "You're welcome." End of show. In between, the car could do the talking.
The series that made it to the air as Knight Rider was scarcley less preposterous than that, but it was played with such a twinkle in the eye that viewers--especillay kids--made it one of the hits of the 1982 season....
It also makes sure to note that the seat ejectors do not automatically activate the sun roof, the significance of which I forget. There's actually not a whole lot I remember about the show, which is partly why I'm enjoying the re-runs on the SciFi channel.
This FAQ, while not as orderly, is also not to be missed. It includes gems such as:
How many episodes has K.I.T.T. had to have been rebuilt in the series?
Goliath, Knight of the Drones, Junkyard Dog and Knight of the Juggernaut.
Does K.I.T.T. turbo boost in every episode of Knight Rider?
No. Kitt never turbo boosts in Deadly Manuvers, Killer Kitt, Voo Doo Knight or Goliath.
And finally, Juha's KITT Dashboard Project. Makes me wish I had been 8 when the show aired so I could have taken notes. (I was 4.) See also Juha's silly feedback page.
