Remember how they used to speed up the film to show how fast MICHAEL would drive... all dust would settle behind him in a NANO-second....hehe..

what a stupid show that was....but I watched it!

the A-team was pretty cool too...

I think the "KI" portion was for Knight Industries. I don't recall on the TT. Good show, but Airwolf was even better....

The big question on my mind when I saw the show was- If the car could talk and hear the driver, why did it need all those gauges? Couldn't you just ask the car its status on one or more sensors?

hahaha - anyway, I just thought the RPM gauge looked kind of familiar.

best thing about Knight Rider and A-Team was with all that violence no one ever die. even when the jeep would hit a land mine and do 13 flips the guys would only come out groggy....gotta love it.

Anybody remember KARR, KITT's evil twin? KARR.......the Knight Automated Roving Robot or something like that....Geez, those were the days.....

AIRWOLF rules!! That was a great show.

A-Team was awesome too. The words of Hannibal (played by the late George P.): "I love it when a plan comes together"

for all the ammunition they wasted, and since they were a crack-commando team turned vigilante's, the A-Team certainly needed to spend more time at the shooting range. No one ever died!

"I love it when a plan comes together" - Hannible Smith (pushing up daisy's as we speak)

Airwolf.... how about John Michaal Vincent... that dumbass is such an alcoholic/druggie.... He was on 20/20 or something saying how he was going to "make a come back". ahah Everyone is looking for a washed up drunk/druggie who looks 65years old but is really only 45.

How about that show with the Coyote.? HARDCASTLE & McCormick! that was a cool ride!
