    Wow, there has got to be a lot of left over firebird parts from all the jumps that didn't go right.
    Maybe there's a Knight Rider junk yard somewhere...

    Is this why 95% of all 80s black Trans Ams have salvage titles?

    I guess this car was still in production during the show's run. They could just buy more without depleting dwindling stocks of no longer made cars. How green and sustainable of them, unlike Dukes of Hazard. Though there still must have been a ton of Dodge chargers when that show was made.

    Note to television executive types: Make a parody of this type of 80's show and include 100% of this kind of ridiculous, impossible action. Oh, and throw in some scantily clad chicks.

    I don't even remember half of those jumps. I guess I missed some episodes. It was pretty bad though in the later seasons when the switched to using miniatures. And what was up at around 4:57? It looked like KITT turbo boosted backwards out of that dirt pile..

    If Michael Knight were real, he would have the worst case of whiplash in history.


    Seriously though, a few of those were really impressive stunts.

    The video gives the impression that Kitt doesn't so much drive anywhere; instead, he hops around like a big, black, cylon-eyed bunny rabbit, spurred on by a terminally jostled Hoff who keeps jabbing the turbo button. :D

    Maybe it's because Knight Rider debuted while I was in high school, and it therefore has less sentimental value to me than many of the younger members of commentariat....but...I clearly remembered that this show sucked. Same for CHIPS, The Dukes of Hazard (excluding Catherine Bach and her wonder shorts), and Hardcastle & McCormick (featuring a "race car" which couldn't outrun...ANYTHING).


    So there....I said it. Your emperors have no clothes!


    Now Wacky Races....that's a muthaf@%king TV show!

    I watched that show religiously from when I was 4 years old to... uh... 35 years old.


    Dear magical Youtube faeries: Please compile a video of every massive, malaise-ridden car crash ever shown on CHiPs. Thank you.

    Our shows might have been cheezy, but your younger generation is so screwed up because instead of heros like Michael Knight and Bo and Luke Duke to show them justice and honesty, they are stuck with reality shows that glamorizes being a self absorbed shmuck!
