Knight Rider: Season 04
Part of Series:
Knight Rider [TV Series]
Although the title of the series alluded to its human protagonist, the real star of the weekly, hour-long NBC action-adventure series Knight Rider was a talking car -- and no, this wasn't "Mr. Ed on Wheels." David Hasselhoff headed the cast as an undercover cop named Michael, who after being shot in the face and left for dead was rescued by billionaire Wilton Knight (Richard Basehart), founder of Knight Industries for the Foundation of Law and Order. Surgically supplying Michael with a new face, Knight also gave our hero a new name, Michael Knight, and a new mission in life -- to travel throughout the world righting wrongs and punishing criminals, with the latest in high-tech computer weaponry and gadgetry at his disposal. Foremost among Michael's arsenal of "neat stuff" was a sleek, super-powered black Trans Am named "Knight Industries Two Thousand," or "K.I.T.T." for short. In addition to being outfitted with a near-impenetrable chassis, the capacity to travel 300 miles on the ground, underwater, and even in the air (it didn't exactly fly, but could leap 50 feet upward), and a full arsenal of tracking devices and non-lethal weaponry, K.I.T.T. also possessed a remarkably high artificial I.Q. -- and it was able to speak (courtesy of actor William Daniels), usually for the purpose of imparting important information, or simply and haughtily to put the rather less intelligent Michael in his place every so often. After the death of Wilton Knight, Michael received his orders from the elder Knight's second-in-command, Devon Miles (Edward Mulhare), who had a hard time concealing his contempt and distrust for our hero. In addition to the two (make that three) principal characters, Knight Rider also featured a trio of mechanics, who occasionally found themselves in the thick of the action. Two of these mechanics were shapely young ladies, Bonnie Barstow (Patricia McPherson) and April Curtis (Rebecca Holden); the third was a flippant, resourceful ex-street-gang member named Reginald Cornelius III (Peter Parros), or RC3 for short. With tongue firmly in cheek and a remarkable lack of violence or mayhem (despite all the fast action, few characters were killed, not even the bad guys), Knight Rider raked in ratings and goodwill for NBC from September 26, 1982, through August 8, 1986. In 1991, a two-hour "reunion" special, Knight Rider 2000, was seen on NBC; and during the 1997-1998 there was a sequel of sorts, Team Knight Rider, which aired in syndication. ~ All Movie Guide

Knight Rider: Season 03
In the third season of Knight Rider, Devon Miles (Edward Mulhare), head of the Knight Industries Foundation for Law and Order, continues dispatching his best agent, Michael Knight (David Hasselhoff) -- who before being snatched from the jaws of death by the late billionaire Wilton Knight had been undercover cop Michael Long -- on a variety of do-gooding errands, protecting the helpless and vanquishing a daunting array of villains. And as in seasons past, Michael is assisted in his missions by K.I.T.T., a computerized Trans Am car equipped with the latest in weaponry and surveillance paraphernalia -- not to mention an artificial intelligence, as manifested in its rather condescending voice (provided by William Daniels). Also on hand, albeit briefly, is K.I.T.T.'s sexy mechanic, April Curtis (Rebecca Holden); and, returning as a regular after missing most of season two, April's "fellow" mechanic Bonnie Barstow (Patricia McPherson). Season three opens with the two-part "Knight of the Drones," pitting Michael and K.I.T.T. against a deadly army of bank-robbing robots. Later on, K.I.T.T. must face down its arch enemy, the evil, laser-equipped vehicle K.A.R.R. In other episodes, Bonnie is persecuted by someone who wants to frighten her out of her new apartment after she witnesses a murder; Michael apparently goes to the enemy camp after Devon fires him for drug possession; K.I.T.T. nearly becomes kaput, courtesy of a toxic-waste dump; Michael is forced to drive K.I.T.T. through a mine field in order to stop a murder; and K.I.T.T. becomes a circus attraction as a means of exposing a homicidal crook. ~ All Movie Guide

Knight Rider: Season 04
The fourth and final season of Knight Rider stars David Hasselhoff as Michael Knight, a former cop who after being saved from death by a billionaire do-gooder becomes an undercover agent for the Knight Foundation for Law and Order. Michael continues to take his marching orders from the foundation's head man, Devon Ross (Edward Mulhare), even though there is little love lost between the two men. And of course, Michael's greatest ally in his fight against evil is the super-powered, weapon-laden Trans Am car K.I.T.T., who in addition to being rigged with state-of-the-art computer technology also possesses a brain and a voice (provided by William Daniels). Rounding out the cast is Patricia McPherson as K.I.T.T.'s curvaceous mechanic Bonnie Bristow; and a character new to the series, streetwise male mechanic Reginald Cornelius III, aka RC3 (Peter Parros). RC3 is introduced in season four's two-part opener, "Knight of the Juggernaut," in which Mike and K.I.T.T. rescue their new team member from the clutches of his old street gang. In other episodes, Bonnie is among those kidnapped by a disgruntled former government agent-turned-airplane hijacker -- and once she has escaped this dilemma, she poses as a jet setter in order to prevent the U.S. from succumbing to germ warfare. Additional adventures find Michael quitting the foundation after one close call too many; K.I.T.T. turning killer when he is reprogrammed by a mad genius; Michael and K.I.T.T. combining forces to trap a homicidal magician (played by real-life illusionist Lance Burton); our heroes trying to help a down-and-out boxer, in an episode featuring such luminaries as Ken Norton, Jerry Quarry, and Don King; and, in the last episode of the series, Michael, K.I.T.T., et al. endeavoring to get to the bottom of a supposed curse that has claimed the lives of several archeologists. ~ All Movie Guide
