No one in the 1980s had his finger on the pulse of gizmo-crazy
adolescent boys like producer Glen Larson, creator of Battlestar
Galactica and Manimal. But the peak of Larson's particular genius
has to be Knight Rider, the love story of an absurdly handsome
man and his absurdly indestructible car. Former detective Michael
Knight (David Hasselhoff (
/gp/search?search-alias=dvd&field-keywords=David%20Hasselhoff+-ntsc
), later to achieve worldwide media dominance with Baywatch)
zooms across the U.S. in K.I.T.T., a supercharged talking Trans
Am with an impenetrable shell and the catty voice of William
Daniels (St. Elsewhere). From the Las Ve desert to the
Louisiana bayou, Michael and K.I.T.T. solve crimes and help the
downtrodden with the aid of a multi-million-dollar corporation
run by dapper Devon Myles (Edward Mulhare) and
mechanic/secretary/nanny April Curtis (Rebecca Holden, who took
over from Patricia McPherson for the second season only).
The first season was goofy camp from the start, but the second
turned even more giddily ridiculous: K.I.T.T. developed
supersensors, telekinesis, and the ability to drive on water;
plots included amnesia, super attack helicopters, a desperately
needed trans for a girl, and a supremely cheesy
evil-twin storyline featuring Garthe Knight, son of the
multimillionaire who gave Michael his identity-changing facial
surgery, played by Hasselhoff with a mustache, soul patch, and
even more luxuriant hair. In one episode, Michael goes
"undercover" as the lead singer of a rock band, allowing
Hasselhoff to flaunt his beloved-in-Germany vocal stylings. Of
special note is an episode featuring Geena Davis (future
O-winner for The Accidental Tourist) as the daughter of a cat
burglar, perhaps the only episode with a love interest as
cartoonishly good-looking as Hasselhoff himself. This is
definitive t television, the kind of empty calories that, for
some viewers, are irresistibly tasty. For Knight Rider fans,
Season Two is a feast. --Bret Fetzer

Synopsis
--------

indestructible car with numerous special functions, including
artificial intelligence. Michael and KITT roam the country,
righting wrongs and stopping criminal plots. This collection
