Knight Rider - Complete Series [DVD]

Product Information

During the first season, the outro was Michael and KITT driving on a road in the desert with Wilton Knight's words of "One man can make a difference, Michael. Justin Bruening is a valiant attempt to replicate the Michael Knight character and is fleshed out in terms of back character a little more than David Hasslehoff was but still, its a channel 5 type budget show so you aren't expecting george clooney levels of talent. It was a big hit, yet none of the spin-offs and reboots that came in its wake could capture the magic of the original show. William Daniels, the voice of KITT, would record his lines after the majority of the episode was filmed.

With his new identity, "Michael Knight", Long is provided with high tech crime-fighting equipment, most notably the car named KITT. All of the discs are housed in five separate fold-out slipcases, four of which contain the show’s four season run, and when laid out alongside each other, reveal a side view of K. There are several actions that could trigger this block including submitting a certain word or phrase, a SQL command or malformed data. Annoyingly, frustratingly, and hating myself when I admit it, this wasn't actually as bad as I was expecting. In the first season, the first three episodes come in the last discs of the season which disturbs the flow of the storyline.

Take note that this disc initially appears to be locked out of every Region as it won’t load normally, but if you press the menu button on your remote, the main menu will appear and you can access the disc’s contents. I am now trying to find a replacement copy of the disc which probably won't have the same cover art on it but at least I would have the missing episodes. That not withstanding, the series itself has some amusing moments, and Val Kilmer replacing Bill Daniels as KITT isn't as bad as many would expect either. When you watch this you'll need to be aware of the first series, but try not to cast an opinion based on the warm memories you may have of it as a child. Not included in this set is the 2008 reboot series which is for the best really since nothing can beat the classic original show anyway.

At review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes, the first season scores 35%, based mainly on archived contemporaneous reviews, with an average rating of 5. There were five annuals produced in total, each reflecting the season of the show that was airing at the time, with the final two releases covering the final season. Saturation is more robust and even keeled than when the show originally aired, never mind in re-runs. The series follows Michael Knight (David Hasselhoff) and his car KITT that can think and act for itself as they fight crime and protect the innocent. The box set is BIG; the set only has 26 DVDs but takes almost twice the space as my X-Files box set which has 59 DVDs!The quality is surprisingly good considering that each episode runs close to 42 minutes, which is roughly 16 hours of content. The theme has been sampled in the songs " Clock Strikes", " Turn It Up (Remix) / Fire It Up", and " Mundian to Bach Ke". De Souca is always a lot of fun to listen to chat away about his projects and you never want to turn down the chance to listen to a stuntman talk their craft.
