For a machine A.I., you gotta admit: K.I.T.T. was amazingly human, always, putting Michael's safety above anything else.
Well that was his major difference to KARR who was only programmed for self-preservation.
For an A.I., K.I.T.T. was indeed surprisingly human. Even though K.I.T.T. often emphasizes that he is without emotion, he has some surprisingly human traits.
Remember his first training session after he was rebuilt after a "minor" acid bath? He was suffering from PTSD - a VERY human condition, which comes from a place of FEAR.
K.I.T.T.'s obsession with correct English? OCD(ish).
Even minor displays of jealousy would surface from time to time.
@@pHD77 KITT became more human throughout the course of the show. There's a pretty big difference between the KITT of the pilot/early season 1 and this season 3 opener.
@@pHD77 Agreed. He even had a sense of humor (dry though it may have been), a sense of self awareness, and a regard for Michael that was more along the lines of "battle buddy" than a programmed "Protect all human life" robot ideal.
I distinctly remember as a kid, when Michael had complimented a girl's smile early in an episode, K.I.T.T. had established he could rate "beauty" in a scientific way, even saying something about the effectiveness of machines, like "200 miles on a gallon of gas looks good to me". Then later, after dropping the girl off he paid closer attention to the person, and after she had left, K.I.T.T. called Michael back, and then said "You were right. she _does_ have a nice smile", which made Michael chuckle.
Either he was being funny, or he had made a determination of a person based purely on something he found pleasant about them. either way, it was a small display of emotion which also showed his ability to learn and adapt.
@@ferrari2k Granted, but this seemed to go beyond mere "programming"; it was more like K.I.T.T. _wanted_ to become more "human" or more in tune with humanity over time. In the spin off show *Team Knight Rider,* they explained that like real people, the personalities of the vehicles would adapt and be influenced by the personalities of the drivers, each amplifying the best/worst traits of the other. That wasn't implicitly _stated_ in this show, but just from how they would talk and rely on each other, you got the sense the same thing happened with K.I.T.T.; he seemed to evolve into a more caring being seeing how Mike would be so compassionate to others. No doubt Devon and Bonnie had a hand in that as well, as K.I.T.T. saw them as "family".
KITT must be grateful Bonnie is still around to be his mom. I love how concerned she is too. Truly adopts KITT as her own.
Well she did design him
She did not@@GodKiller-bk4ly
"Sorry pal, forgive me." That line always made me tear up a little
Did you ugly cry?
Me too 😢
@@kennyfordham6208 me to
Ah that makes three…
Make that 4
What amazed me was how stealthy and strong K.I.T.T. was yet so tender-hearted and considerate. That's mostly what made this show so relatable.
Glen Larson originally wanted KITT to be more robotic in nature. Bill Daniels gave KITT the warm human-like personality and basically told Larson to shut up and let Daniels do the the voice his way
Encouraged friendship, loyalty, compassion - not texting, Insta, finger wagging and head bobbing and lockdown drills.
On the upside, K.I.T.T. always get a major upgrade every time he is totaled.
Hope they reinforced his exhaust system!
@@mrnobody.4069 w something
I didn't like the super pursuit mode 😕
If you compare the acceleration times in season 1 and 2, KITT seem slower in super pursuit mode it just looks like he has better handling!
He gets his upgrades in this episode new dashboard.
I really love the bond that Kitt and Michael have, you’d be lucky to have Kitt if he was one of your pals.
KITT really lived up to his word here from what he said way back in the first episode that his mission was to protect human life, especially Michael's. KITT was a true friend to the end.
Straight up facts 💯
The best💪
Exactly. Name me one car that does that today? AÍ and self driving cars are cool and all, but they won’t save your life like this.
Laughs in T-800 💀
@@midlifeparty lol I see what you did there 🤣🤣🤣
Michael landed exceptionally well for being ejected at 100 MPH
it looks like he just jumps on foot 😄
@@udarajayawardena2018 it was the 80s! Looking back on it all .... it does seem a bit tacky now.
@@mattayres371 Yep, but still the best tv show for me ❤
@@udarajayawardena2018 oh yeah definitely ☺️😍
@@mattayres371 Viper also ❤
When I was a kid, everyone wanted a car like KITT. We would pretend to be the driver or voice of KITT. A super hero car who was bullet proof.
You can laser coat a 1980 Trans Am with chromium-carbide and have a real bullet proof car. Watch my video on the weapons in Robocob 2
When K.I.T.T says sorry pal forgive me. I'm like noooooo K.I.T.T. 😱😱😱😱😲😲. poor K.I.T.T.
It's only a car. Not like it has feelings 🙄🙄 They made more then 1 for each episode
@@I-love-bri
I think he’s talking about the character itself.
I always loved when KITT would take the damage for Michael protecting him.
‘I don’t know what I’d do without you, Bonnie.” Yeah, except during Season 2!
That Hal 9000esqe voice of KITT nearly had me in tears 😂🤣
That's the voice of William Daniels!
Ever time KITT gets thrashed it is totally heartbreaking
If they had KITT trying to sing Daisy, I would have completely lost it. 😢
These were always the most sad episodes of Knight Rider... When K.I.T.T got destroyed or badly damaged.
I miss Edward Mulhare. RIP Edward Mulhare.
KITT was so brave in that Scene. ☹
One of the many times KITT was destroyed. I remember watching this show from the beginning and thinking no way can anything destroy this cool car. And then I was proven wrong. Thankfully I have the complete season dvd set so I can watch these anytime.
As a kid junkyard dog hurt the most! Lol
@@josephf593 that was easily the worst one I had seen
My c.p.u was mall functioning after seeing knight of the juggernaut
2:13 that turbine sound 😍
Farewell KITT's S1-2 dash (even though it makes one last appearance as KARR's dash a few episodes later since KARR never received a dash upgrade)
Because KARR wAs evil KARR only had season one dash due to not trusting flag
Interesting fact is that KITT V. KARR was the first episode filmed for season three and actually used the season 2 hero car.
@@phoenixblack1220 Yes, think they were installing the new dash in what became the S3-4 hero car during "KITT vs. KARR" and had to use the S2 hero car. Though we do get one shot of the new dash in the hero car in "KITT vs. KARR", where you can tell it wasn't quite finished as signs weren't added on displays yet.
It also makes another appearance in the episode junkyard dog when Bonnie and Michael repair kit on their own after the other cyberneticists deemed kitt unfit to return to duty because he's lost his nerve.
@@knightrcer Yes, "KITT vs. KARR" is the last episode to officially feature the old dash, but not quite the final appearance altogether as it would often appear briefly now and again through the remainder of the series. According to Knight Rider Historians, the dash got removed from the S2 hero car and put in the left hand blind drive car.
True friendship 🥰
I love this show from when I was a kid but that ejection science was pure fondue. I love this shoe, cool action with pure cheese.
When I heard Bonnie was coming back for the third season, I thought for sure they were going to call this episode "Bring Back My Bonnie to Me".
Ha!!
Kit loves so much Michael
Now thats what you call a friend!
RIP KITT’s dashboard.
Imagine if the acid pit in "Junk Yard Dog" had been the old dash's demise. Would've been much more traumatising.
Sorry Pal Forgive Me From KITT Gets Me Everytime!!
For a hotshot former cop, Michael has the situational awareness of a cabbage.
i just love KITT, and i always will love him!!!!!
K.I.T.T.: Sorry Pal, Forgive Me
Michael: What?
Kitt sacrifice himself to protect Michael Kitt will always be Michael's Pal
I more admire how KARR sacrifices the passenger to save himself
and yeat Bonnie gives Michael hell anyways
Both KITT and KARR both have preserve human (Michael Knight - KITT) and self preservation (KARR).
Even though they both have different programming by design, the core is "Preserve"!
Kitt is way better than Karr
@@stevesibaja3123 Optimus Prime dies (KARR)
I can imagine me at 6 or 7 watching this being traumatized by Kitt getting destroyed. Great show!!!
I was 27! 😁🤣
KITT's so smart and very brave and very strong!
This was a memorable episode back then for sure
What episode and season was this
He ejected at 100 mph and landed on his feet!!!!🤣🤣🤣
Usually they say that people getting ejected from a car at high speed get killed and that's why you need to wear your seatbelt. But not Michael Knight! He always gets away without a scratch!
Nailed that landing in the soft grass too :D
Gotta love that plot armor.
Hey, you gotta permit for those guns?
2 mins later:
Permit. Denied.
Air Force pilots?
@@mrnobody.4069 I'm guessing there's a big difference between getting ejected from a plane (parachute) as opposed to a car.
Whenever Kitt gets damaged I freaking cry.
Took me 4 n half weeks to get through my knightrider boxset!! All four seasons! 😉👍
One of the better 2 parters, at least we got to see a new dashboard and new functionality.
Plus it was one of few episodes that featured no guest stars who'd previously appeared or later appeared in a different role (not counting a cab driver earlier in this episode who was played by a recurring extra through Knight Rider).
Zoom calls in the 80s worked a lot better than in the 2020s :D Never mind the driverless cars of the era ;)
Deep down, Bonnie had such anger at her mentor at the university for severely damaging K.I.T.T. while trying to kill Michael. If K.I.T.T. hadn't ejected Michael, Michael wouldn't be able to get David Halston & Margo Sheridan to make them pay for their crimes.
Knight of the drones! Kitt we'll make u good as new....NO! Im gonna make u better! 😉👍
I love how Bonnie blames Michael for this. Oh KITT, he really did it to you this time. LOL!
I don't doubt She may have been talking about micheal, but, she may have been talking about what's his name there that blew k.i.t.t up.
It wasn't Michael Bonnie was blaming, it was her mentor who pulled the trigger on K.I.T.T.
@@morganrussman No, this was roughly before she knew her "mentor" was a total POS!
Knight rider na zawsze w mojej pamięci ♥️
Knight Rider is wowza zowie mojev pompi gompi na supey dupey doo as well! ♥️
Turning that button from max to min and back. Technology
Wow. Road side security cameras, video so clear.
The 1980s were really great. 🤣
I've always loved the show, but there are times that I like to poke fun at the stunts/effects. Michael had K.I.T.T. up to 78 mph when he was ejected and Michael landed in the bush like he jumped off of a motionless footstool. No rolling or skidding or tumbling, not even a sore ankle. Still, I love it.
RIP Ed Mulhare.
wished knight rider was on Netflix
KITT took a lot of punishment.
K.I.T.T. is an amazing automobile, to a point that he's almost human!
Over 70mph and he landed on his feet no roll no nothing.......i still love it
Stuck the landing too...LOL! :-D
Maybe Michael's shoes has the same integrating technology as Kitt. 🤯
The best part is after KITT gets destroyed, he gets rebuilt then he & Michael get the bad guys.
Un amico fedele delizioso Kit
Kitt will be restored
Nostalgia at it's best. K.I.T.T certainly sacrificed his self on more than one occasion for Michael.
The episode where kitt gets electrocuted by the power lines. And Jason Batemans character finds him and helps him out.
this was the first time I cried when I was 9 I said ohh no kitt!
Margo is played by Barbara Stock. Susan Silverman from Spencer for Hire.
The telescreen and some other gadgets we laughed at then are now the standard. I always thought that T-Bird was underrated.
That was sooo many button presses by the one guy to control the other car..
😀This was my favorite Tv SHOW BACK then📺📺📺📺
My childhood days were the best!
Kitt is Michael's Pal
Poor kitt 😰😥😢😭
Knight rider was the show on NBC Friday nites😊😊😊
1:00 is when the action begins.
K.I.T.T. that is the best car ever made that's one of the reasons I loved Firebirds when I was little now that's all I own or try to find
It's a trans-am. And no it wasn't. The 69 charger (general lee) much better
He zeroed on the exaust so micheal created MORE exaust by accelerating making the heat signature larger, he then gets ejected at high speeds and lands on his feet😂😂😂😂😂!
He wasn't zeroing in on the *exhaust emissions* (more/less wouldn't've made any difference) he was zeroing in on the tailpipe itself: An unshielded access of KITT's exterior.
In the same context, the only vulnerability in Airwolf's exterior armor was its mid-air refuelling intake, and, as Moffett said in the pilot episode, one bullet up there, and the whole thing would blow up (for same reason as KITT: unshielded access to the interior and fuel) Moffett then goes on to 'Russian-RouIette it' in front of the Libyan captain. When the captain points out Moffett is quite mad, Moffett denies it and says that he's just extremely bored 🤣🤣🤣🤣
But here's a production dates twist which I think makes for an interesting hypothetical: The season of Knight Rider where Bonnie was absent, would have been the same year as when the FIRM finally complete Airwolf... I'm wondering if rather than 'being at college', if Bonnie had actually been assigned to the FIRM to assist with Airwolf's final construction... 🙈🙈🙈🙈
I just loooove the fact he was ejected at like 90 mph and landed on his feet!
Ahah... 🤣 Welcome to the wonderful 80's brother... Where guns never run out of bullets, where the bad guy shots never hits the good guy no mater how close he is or how many bullets fires, where the hero goes for a swim and comes out of the water with a perfectly combed and dry hair, where they start a driving scene in daytime and on the next scene is night, where the good guy will defeat the bad guy with a single punch, and one final universal truth, there will *always* be an explosion, somehow....
Man.... i miss it....😢
Margot Sheridan: Played by Barbara Stock😍
All this tech they can put in a car and the bad guy is using a control board with toggle switches and dials. Hilarious.
Destroying KITT just to update his appearance.
Yep, happens again next season lol
When KITT said "he's zeroing in" Michael should have slammed on the brakes. They couldn't decide what the underside of KITT looks like, I've seen pipework under the car on other days. KITT has smothered bombs that have had no impact on the interior after exploding inside the car, makes no sense and I still love it.
Good thing Michael knew when to let go of the steering wheel.
Ejected out a car at 90 Miles Per Hour. Lands on his feet and just says "oof."
The remote control station is absurd even for that era.
Margo? Devon? Michael.! 😄😂
Knight of the drones..... season 3. 😉👍
He could get every possible camera angle on that thunderbird except for out the windshield or the windows.
2:33 wow he zipped his jacket up quick!!!
It would have been a nice twist to have Kitt become human in the last episode of the series
Both "Knight of the Drones" and "Junk Yard Dog" are great episodes as they are. And it's awesome how KITT gets his dash upgrade. But when KITT later gets dumped in an acid pit and pulled out gutted, I often feel that would've been more empowering to how he gets the new dash. Like imagine KITT sinking in the pit and the old dash disintegrates after being associated with it through S1-2. And then introduce the new dash when he's being restored. Sometimes feel that would've been more affective than a rocket up his exhaust and his old displays on the blink like in "Goliath".
"something we've been working on and now was the best chance to install it" sort of thing.
That's another thing I never got, how did Bonnie get her hands on the new state-of-the-art equipment working at a college University when she doesn't even have a dash molding which would have probably been more likely found at knight industries R&D lab.
@@knightrcer More to the point, how did Bonnie even manage all this within a short space of time? Michael investigating a Chinese restaurant, pursuing one of the guys involved which leads to his first visit at the villain's retreat, KITT getting hit by the missile, Michael on a date with the leading villain while Bonnie installs KITT's new dash and then Michael taking a look all appear to happen in a single day.
@@AndrewChapman Well by the time kitt is ready to go back out in the field, we see it's dark when kitt hits the semi ramps to leave. Let's say the rondeveux with Margo was in the early morning and factoring in daylight savings time it was probably late evening by the time Bonnie installed the new dash. Repairs kitts exhaust system if it was only a replacement of the 1 muffler and nothing else more intricate thay a few components for the knifht 2000 she mostly likely was able to pick up at the local radio shack and some spit and shine for tbe cosmetic damage. The. There's junk yard d9g which required the entire original team Wilton Knight assembled. But most of that could be done by the gang of mechanics in Chicago after the juggernaut destroys kitt in the season 4 opening. When you think of all that it's not that crazy that Michael asks Eddir of he repaired Karr when he has him up against the wall after karr escaped. Yeah a boat renter repaired the most advanced state-of-the-art computer on wheels.
@@knightrcer Maybe she designed it?
Love to see the car up close in real life
Bonnie !❤
The guy that was controlling the thunderbird was Dusty Farlowe of Dallas
I remember this one, there was like 2 of the self-driving Chryslers and this was the episode where Patricia McPherson returned to the show.
I have to say I really like the look of said Chryslers!
The red drone cars were actually the newly designed for the time 9th generation Ford Thunderbird model.
Hello from Phoenix Arizona!🔥
@@pinball541 Actually the T-birds had already been out for one model year, but the Lincoln Mark VII, based on the Thunderbird and Cougar released one year prior, Margot was sitting in was all new at the time.
Achilles have his heel, and KITT had a missile up his exhaust @$$.
lol
I heard that the show's ratings would go up whenever they damage or destroy KITT! Lol!😅
Michael: "scan that car KITT"
*scans car
KITT: "Oh no..."
Michael: "What is it?"
KITT: "It's a woman"
Michael: "Let's get out of here, it's a trap!"
That slap bass though.
Yeah. Pretty Groovy.😁
Poor kitt i hope with the help of bony he will be ok again
It's just a stupid car. It doesn't have feelings. So yes I'm sure the car will be ok🙄🙄
@@I-love-bri If it's "just a stupid car" then what the hell are you actually doing here if I can ask? This channel was made for fans not for haters so get the hell out of here!
@@Benedek_Varga Must be getting mixed up with KARR🤣🤣
I'm not understanding the remote controls here.
To do a 180 turn, you have to flip the switch behind you?
"oh kitt he really did it to you this time" i hope she was not blaming michael... that'd be messed up
Bonnie: oh kitt he really did it to you this time!
Me: bon you might want to ask what happened first before pointing fingers.
He gets ejected at high speed and not a single fracture! Miracle!
Not even a slightly sprained ankle.
@@thethomasj1795 or even a bruised arm! A holly miracle!
I imagine if I had a Tesla and a rocket locked onto me, it would eject me out safely too. Key word.. imagine
In one episode, Michael activated the flare system to evade some missiles (I think it was in the episode where he fought against a helicopter). In another episode where KITT and Michael were in a military camp being attacked by military rockets/missiles, Michael used flame/fire from the turbo-boost to attract 3 heat missiles that were fired at them. 2 fell in the area where KITT was launching the flame of fire and another missile fell on a food bus!!
Why didn't he use those systems here???
"Maverick, he's going to get a missile lock on us! Uh, I mean Michael!"
When i was a kid watching this, I never realized what a goofy voice David H had, this is what I mean, listen at: 1:58
