Like any good cheese, Knight Rider has only grown more pungent with age. Decked out in alarming '80s fashions (check out that blue Members Only jacket in the pilot), earnestly spouting some of the worst dialogue in the history of television, the absurdly handsome Hasselhoff radiates the unique charisma that's made him a Teutonic cult figure. In addition to the 21 episodes of the first season, Knight Rider: Season One includes a 1991 TV movie, Knight Rider 2000, that tried to launch a revamped series set in the near future (lacking the cheerful touch of creator Glen Larson, the attempt sank into oblivion) and brief interview footage (including Hasselhoff describing when he read the original script: "It was glowing in my hands. This was gold.") It's unlikely this boxed set will appeal to anyone who didn't become a fan of the show at an impressionable age, but for those fans, Knight Rider: Season One is gold. --Bret Fetzer

Customer Reviews of Knight Rider - Season One
Finally, its here in NTSC! - No more importing from the UK! Ahhh... The early 1980's. Reagan was president, new wave dominated the radiowaves and MTV actually played MUSIC VIDEOS! Ask anyone who grew up during this period what their favorite non-animated show was as a kid and they'll probably say "Knight Rider." KR, as its affectionately called by some fans, may seem quirky and obscure nowadays with its atari centipede sound effects, poofie aqua-net hairdo's, over-acting and "sooo not the original artist" song usage, but we didn't care... <

>To us this was the best thing on TV besides Smurfs and He-Man and it appealed to our parents as well. KR was like James Bond meets Herbie the Love Bug. While our mothers drooled over the blue-eyed hunky Hasselhoff, we were captivated by the ominous-looking but friendly talking black Trans Am, K.I.T.T. (Knight Industries Two Thousand) we giggled everytime theives tried to steal KITT and failed, and we cried when KITT got destroyed (but they -always- managed to rebuild him). <

>The visual quality of these discs is damn pretty good. It would've been nice if they had director/actor interviews and maybe some behind the scenes words with George Barris (the guy who built all the KITT cars for the show) I can't say I care for the double sided discs, as they are terribly easy to smudge.
Go Universal pictures! Go!
Knight Rider will be one of those classics that will forever be captivating. At the time this originally aired on "NBC" David Michael Hasselhoff was twenty-eight years old. The two hour movie shows how he became Michael Knight after being nearly killed. Edward Molehair is great playing the roll of Devon Miles and Richard Baseheart was great playing Wilton Knight. Both of the actors I mentioned above are now gone but, they're memories will live on in this classic show. In the first part of Season one, Richard Baseheart doesn't do the famous narration until later on in the seasons. He did it later in season one and so fourth. Get this classic show and relive the moments. K.I.T.T. was a great smart car voiced by William Danniels. Also with the first season of this show, you get "Knight Rider 2000." Rock on Michael and Kitt!
Region 1 - the way to go
Although the other region versions of this boxset is mostly the same - the difference is that the region 1 version is the only one with the 30 minute teasers intact. The region 2,4 & 5 versions don't have the teasers and are on single sided discs with the Pilot episode on disc 7 instead of being on disc 1. I personally bought the region 1 version because I like the series to be complete and in proper chronilogical order... Even though I am not a big fan of double sided discs. In this day and age where region coding and TV systems is quickly fading away it is nice to know that you can choose the version you prefer. I live in South Africa and "Knight Rider" is just as popular today as it was back in the 80s (it enjoys it's fare share of reruns - in original broadcast form). My four year old wants to watch it all the time. It is good clean family fun. Buy this boxset, even if you can only get your hands on the other region versions, but the region 1 version is the best.
