I thought the pilot episode for Knight Rider was fantastic and I praised it in my review of it. The series that followed was just brilliant.
David Hasselhoff played Michael Knight. Like many heroes of the 1980's Michael was a true hero with high morals who victims of crime could depend on. Michael Knight would always be there to help.
The series had great plots, comedy and great action scenes. Michael Knight was actually a good detective throughout the series as he pieced together clues to various crimes. Once he had all the evidence he would race off with K.I.T.T. the car to engage in some fisticuffs with the bad guys.
Ah, let's not forget the car K.I.T.T. Throughout the series run K.I.T.T. seemed to be able to do anything. It even took to the water at times. About the only thing it never did was fly into the sky but it could Turbo Boost over anything. It could go really fast, it could analyse crime scenes better than any detective, it had extensive knowledge of just about any subject and it had a human personality. It was a brilliant car.
All in all, Knight Rider was consistently good throughout it's run. My personal recommendations would be the episodes Knight of the Juggernaut (K.I.T.T. is destroyed), Hills of Fire (Michael & K.I.T.T. pursue an arsonist) and the awesome pilot episode.
