It's been 30 years, and it's still a great show with something for everyone - guys love KITT, chics love Hasselhoff, great intro music - perfect match. No TV show since then has been that cool. Man, that car still looks cool even after all these years!!
Obi Ezeilo my brother I (TOTALLY) agree with you bro! After ten years since you last posted your comment it’s now been over 40 years since Knight Rider was broadcast on TV and still it’s a great show with something for everyone - guys love KITT, chics love Hasselhoff, great intro music - perfect match… I (COMPLETELY) agree with you. No other TV show since then has been that cool! (Ever!) Man I’ll echo after you and say that car (STILL) looks cool after all these years!!! Genius… Beyond measure. I fell in love with that car from the moment I saw it for the first time ever as nearly a six year old boy while I was mesmerised by the intro and the whole two hour show of the pilot episode of Knight Rider broadcast on ITV in London within Great Britain in September 1982…. I desperately wanted that car as a boy and still crave that car as a man too…. The closest I’ve ever got to owning a car that’s close to my heart like KITT was and still is was when I finally bought my dream car consisting of a 2006 Obsidian Black Mercedes Benz SL55 AMG F1 Performance Pack…. We’re close. We keep it tight like KITT and Michael Knight……..
This intro always makes me cry cause my dear godfather have give me this series on vhs when i whas little. He really known me what show i would really like :'( I miss you dear godfather and thanks for everything :(
As a kid in the backseat of my dad's car going round corners even at 50 was one of the best things about the 80s, flying from one side of the car to the other. Only beaten by climbing up in the back window and flying forward when he slammed on the brakes.
I always thought the line "In a world of criminals who operate above the law" was funny. Don't ALL criminals operate above the law, hence what makes them a criminal? Still one of the best shows EVER along with CHiPS and the A-Team. Long live the great 80's shows.
im not old enough to have seen the old ones when they were first on but when i was about 5 they used to aways repeat them on sky, and now the new ones are out which are awsome and for the first time i think the originals and the new ones are just as good as each other, love knight rider and kitt is a legend
This TV show is the thing that made me into this car business madness... and this is what motivated me into the 458 Italia that I have right now.... What a dream-come-true...
Knight Rider is one of the coolest shows ever, I've watched it since I was a small child when my Grandma told me about it and I loved the way the car talked and ever time I got in the car I wanted it to talk like KR. I like the new series and the old series the same way.
i miss my teens the eighties... there was no trouble everyone used to get on? nice weather and good times? and no wars or terrorism... and tv dramas like the A TEAM KNIGHT RIDER AIR WOLF AND STREETHAWK LOL!! i wish i could go back in time and be a kid and watch them again and again!! i really miss it shame im old now too old!!!
I remember my dad sat in the front room taping the intro music one week this was on. It is a quality piece of music! The narration at the start is wicked! Makes me want to get into voiceover work.
Let's face it when we had terrific shows like this or the A-Team or Street Hawk to look forward to, we didn't need CZcams. This was long before TV execs stopped coming up with original ideas and started just producing "reality" TV where you get to watch people working or fighting...thank God we have DVDs available to us.
They used to show this in Bangladesh where I grew up back in the 80s, we could barely understand all the details of a story but still I hardly ever missed an episode - it was the Wednesday knight Rider night, all homework had to stop for an hour :)
The fastest speed that was ever shown on the speedo in an episode was 300mph, in the opening credits here and then again in "Burial Ground" (Season 4, Episode 5), although a "current speed of 310 mph" is mentioned verbally by KITT in the Season 2 opener "Goliath".
My favorite episodes were in season 3 and 4. Why? Because of the green lighted gas pedal addition to KITT. It was awesome to see it light up when KITT drove himself or when Michael pressed it with his foot & the green lights lit up on the sides. TV now has gone to the dogs totally! It'll NEVER be as good as it was in the 70's & 80's, and some 90's shows were awesome too, like Boy Meets World, Step by Step, Seinfeld, The Nanny, The Fresh Prince of Bel Air, 7th Heaven, but now? ha ha, No Way! :(
Absolutely! And I bet the demand for black Trans Ams were so high back then that Pontiac couldn't keep them in stock! Man, whatever happened to the good ol' days???
i miss my teens the eighties... there was no trouble everyone used to get on? nice weather and good times? and no wars or terrorism... and the A TEAM KNIGHT RIDER AIR WOLF AND STREETHAWK LOL!! i really miss it shame im old now too old!!!
One time I was at computer lab in university, when this song suddenly hit the public speakers. Not to mention everybody in the lab stood up and stood still like if it was a national anthem. I studied Electronics btw.
Most people don't realize that the voiceover introduction was done by the late Richard Basehart, who was already dying of cancer when he portrayed industrialist Wilton Knight in the pilot episode. It's interesting comparing his voice here to his narration at the opening of 1956's film version of "Moby Dick," the effects of age and cigarettes.
I had *such* a crush on KITT when I was younger. ... which actually causes a lot of angst when you realize you're in love with a car and there is no way a relationship will ever work... :P Oh to be young again.
“This is not your father’s Oldsmobile...This is the new generation of OLDS!”: from 1988 TV ads with Lisa Marie Presley, and others came to mind watching this “Knight Rider” opening. Similarly: “This is not your mama’s Pontiac...” comes to mind since Richard BASEhart (279-03-2105; Wilton KNIGHT) narrates the opening and died on 9/17/84, two years before the series ended. Some grannies died on WWHB Basehart’s 91st birthday: AUG. 31, 2005. This video posted on WWHB some granny’s 89th: JUNE 22, 2008
I always wondered if people who didn't see the pilot understood what the narration meant by Michael not existing. It was rarely ever brought up afterwards that it was a false identity.
@thehappyfella yup, you were born 15 years too late; I was born in 88, but by the time I was 5, all these shows were in syndication, so I basically watched all these shows in the 90's (My Dad was a huge fan of all these shows, so I always sat with him and just watch these shows with him)
A few days or a week ago, I saw a picture on google images that showed KITT behind a trailer truck, and I saw some kind of tow cable infront of the car then when I took a quick look at 0:57, I made a soft grin on my face and said, "I KNEW they DIDN'T use a tow cable."
Peter Parros as 'RC3', Reginald Cornelius III got to be in the final scene of the “Knight Rider” series in “Voo Doo Knight” (4/4/86), bookending his first appearance in the season 4 premiere, “Knight of the Juggernaut”. Endless chatty throughout the series, KITT is reduced to a silent prop in the final scene. Unrelated: “The what was talking?” asks William Daniels, voice of KITT, in “The Graduate”-15 years before “KR”-before introducing son Benjamin BRADdock (DUSTin HOFFman) in a diving suit
@twobit211 Of course, I google it and come up with this: "In a third season episode of Knight Rider, "Halloween Knight", the episode villain is shown briefly in a Cylon mask. KITT's red LED forward scanner throughout the series, of course, is an homage to the Cylon's red eye, which oscillates back and forth while active while using the same sound effect. Both series were created by Glen Larson."
KITT in Season 3 is kind of like a combination of Seasons 1-2 KITT and Season 4 KITT. He receives the upgraded dashboard which he also has in Season 4, but like Seasons 1-2, still doesn't receive Super Pursuit Mode or Convertible Mode yet.

That purple desert effect with the music is pure class
Nothing on earth beats the 80's!!

Tomas Michael knight
Yeah agree with u
It's been 30 years, and it's still a great show with something for everyone - guys love KITT, chics love Hasselhoff, great intro music - perfect match. No TV show since then has been that cool. Man, that car still looks cool even after all these years!!

It's been 10 years since your comment
40 years
Never gets old. One of all my time favorite shows. I have all 4 seasons on DVD. Would love to see this on Blu ray.
I'm watching the whole show in HD, it's like watching it for the first time.
Such a futuristic car designed in the 80's .. Its fuckin insane !
This intro always makes me cry cause my dear godfather have give me this series on vhs when i whas little. He really known me what show i would really like :'( I miss you dear godfather and thanks for everything :(
Bronyboy30 I'm sorry for your loss.

So sorry for your loss he must be very kind guy if he loves knight rider 😢
One of the best tv shows ever made!!!!I think i wanna cry.........
I have Knight Rider seasons one and two. It's a real tv classic.
Always wonderful to see a car taking a turn at 200+ MPH AND NO ONE wore SEATBELTS!!
passive laser restraint system
As a kid in the backseat of my dad's car going round corners even at 50 was one of the best things about the 80s, flying from one side of the car to the other. Only beaten by climbing up in the back window and flying forward when he slammed on the brakes.
love this show and the song total classic im honored to own every single episode on dvd
Knight Rider, Airwolf, The A-Team....
All I can say is God bless the 1980's.
I always thought the line "In a world of criminals who operate above the law" was funny. Don't ALL criminals operate above the law, hence what makes them a criminal? Still one of the best shows EVER along with CHiPS and the A-Team. Long live the great 80's shows.

A great percentage of my childhood was watching Knight Rider
Exactly!..The technology presented even exceed the one these days; A Trans-Am like this in our street surely could turn heads yet...
I loved watching this series as a young girl ;)) Wish I had a car like that ;D
i miss my teens the eighties... there was no trouble everyone used to get on? nice weather and good times? and no wars or terrorism... and tv dramas like the A TEAM KNIGHT RIDER AIR WOLF AND STREETHAWK LOL!! i wish i could go back in time and be a kid and watch them again and again!! i really miss it shame im old now too old!!!

It is a quality piece of music!

Brings back so many great memories...oohhhhh. :)
i agree, knight rider is pretty awesome, i jsut started watching it on netflex a few weeks ago!
Let's face it when we had terrific shows like this or the A-Team or Street Hawk to look forward to, we didn't need CZcams. This was long before TV execs stopped coming up with original ideas and started just producing "reality" TV where you get to watch people working or fighting...thank God we have DVDs available to us.
KITT is still the coolest car of all time. The music and the pink background combo is also epic.
such an awesome show....
One Man can make a Difference
one man and his car
@videozfann Yes! and Streethawk? Aahhh.. memories. :-)
They used to show this in Bangladesh where I grew up back in the 80s, we could barely understand all the details of a story but still I hardly ever missed an episode - it was the Wednesday knight Rider night, all homework had to stop for an hour :)
I was born in 1991 and I loved this show. I first saw it on the Science Fiction network, and man, was I hooked.
love the quality picture n sound looks awesome
BEST INTRO OFF ALL TIME!!
Always the Best Ever
Dam, that brings back memories . I have to find those episodes.
The fastest speed that was ever shown on the speedo in an episode was 300mph, in the opening credits here and then again in "Burial Ground" (Season 4, Episode 5), although a "current speed of 310 mph" is mentioned verbally by KITT in the Season 2 opener "Goliath".
I want to start a petition to make the Knight Rider intro music the national anthem of my country. It's too badass.
My favorite episodes were in season 3 and 4. Why? Because of the green lighted gas pedal addition to KITT. It was awesome to see it light up when KITT drove himself or when Michael pressed it with his foot & the green lights lit up on the sides. TV now has gone to the dogs totally!

Oh Yeah!Good old times!
I miss u K.I.T.T!!!!
My childhood was made of Knight Rider.
@86henry you can get a turbo boost!
0:42 where you see KITT riding into the downtown skyline, is my favorite shot.
Agreed
Yep, so sleek and ultra cool 😎
The first 20 seconds are GODLIKE!
Absolutely! And I bet the demand for black Trans Ams were so high back then that Pontiac couldn't keep them in stock!
Man, whatever happened to the good ol' days???
watching this is like a time travelling experience. i feel like i'm a little one again back in the 80s!
Thanks for uploading
эх,ностальгия,юность вспомнил)))
The song bring back memories..
the best tv show intro ever
i miss my teens the eighties... there was no trouble everyone used to get on? nice weather and good times? and no wars or terrorism... and the A TEAM KNIGHT RIDER AIR WOLF AND STREETHAWK LOL!! i really miss it shame im old now too old!!!
This intro makes me wish my own car had a Turbo Boost

Best show ever!
Im from Slovakia and i watched the Slovak,Czech,Austrian,German,Polish,Hungarian and English version of Knight Rider :-)
I just love that speaker
One time I was at computer lab in university, when this song suddenly hit the public speakers. Not to mention everybody in the lab stood up and stood still like if it was a national anthem.
I studied Electronics btw.
In Mexico we watched knight rider and mission impossible and the A team best shows ever

Hot car, hot voice, hot girls, hot guy, hot show. Thanks for posting!
ナイトライダー、また、見たくなってきた😆
The new dash in season 3 was spiffy. :)
I need to play this theme on my stereo whenever I drive my black '89 Firebird....
i love this heme song
Bad ass theme song and intro, all very spooky and conspiratorial like.
KNIGHT RIDAARRRRRRRRHHHHHHH A SHADOWY FLIGHT INTO A WORLD OF A MAN; WHO DOES NOT EXIST!
XD
all hail to that series
I had *such* a crush on KITT when I was younger. ... which actually causes a lot of angst when you realize you're in love with a car and there is no way a relationship will ever work... :P Oh to be young again.
Kinght Rider.......the shadowy flank into the world of a man who does not exist.

@XxMistyChaserXx That's part of the charm...it's dramatic, it's a shadowy flight into the dangerous world of a man who does not exist!
"Knight Rider *inhale* a shadowy flight into the dangerous world of a man who does not exist."
Digital Dash
Série simplesmente fantástica!! Agora no Netflix!!
La mejor de la historia.
I'm intrigued by the fact that this only gets just 600,000 and Air-wolf gets 7 times as many views.
man I feel like I`m 7 years old again when I see this
i miss this
The best tv series ever the best theme music ever why did they screw up the remake of this please make a movie with this car and kitt
I always wondered if people who didn't see the pilot understood what the narration meant by Michael not existing. It was rarely ever brought up afterwards that it was a false identity.
I agree a lot of TV back then was goofd the only thing I can suggest is byu it on DVD at least then you can continue to enjoy it
@thehappyfella yup, you were born 15 years too late; I was born in 88, but by the time I was 5, all these shows were in syndication, so I basically watched all these shows in the 90's (My Dad was a huge fan of all these shows, so I always sat with him and just watch these shows with him)
My dad had a Ford Taurus with a digital dash. For me it was a K.I.T.T.

0:47 seconds That is some fantastic acting from Hasselhoff
Bonnie's back, hooray!
I dreamed about this car as I was little
thumbs up for wilton knight doing intro
bro you should have seen the 5nd season it was the shit!
mi gawd the theme tune is addictive!
KITT in Season 3 is kind of like a combination of Seasons 1-2 KITT and Season 4 KITT. He receives the upgraded dashboard which he also has in Season 4, but like Seasons 1-2, still doesn't receive Super Pursuit Mode or Convertible Mode yet.
Have you noticed how many hip-hop and rap artists have sampled the bass line from this?
Knightboat, the crime-solving boat!!
mój ulubiony serial :)
K N I G H T R I D E R
Makes me wanna use my black '89 Firebird to go out and save people.
When the guy says "above the law", the car actually goes "inside a building".
Wychowałem się na tym serialu!
every time i hear/see this all i can think of is Half Baked
cool story broski
