I bet a lot of these mean spirited comments are from some dopey Generation Y kids born in 1989 or something like that. The people slamming Knight Rider were probably too old to appreciate the show as children in the 80s, or they are too young to have been around in the 80s. Knight Rider wasn't a show that was trying to change the world, it was merely a one hour action/adventure block of entertainment. Another man might have tried to play the material seriously, but the Hoff knew better. David Hasselhoff for all his William Shatner overacting antics, made the show work too. They had a special chemistry that made the series work. That proves that there was something to David Hasselhoff (Michael Knight), William Daniels (voice of KITT) and Edward Mulhare (Devon). Team Knight Rider even had 5 talking super vehicles. If that was true then why didn't the two attempts to revive the show in the 90s work? Knight Rider 2000 in the early 90s and Team Knight Rider in the late 90s both failed to recapture the 80s glory of the original. Knight Rider wasn't "all about a cool car" either.
There's nothing at all wrong with a show being campy. Knight Rider could get corny at times but it was nowhere near as terrible as some people say it is. But if you read some of the reviews here, you might think that Knight Rider is the worst TV show that was ever made. Everyone knows that Knight Rider is about an ex-cop with a new identity, working for a private foundation that provides him with an indestructible super car. The basic premise of Knight Rider has already been covered here numerous times, so I'm not going to delve into that.
