I love how KITT is everyone at once. He's a wide-eyed innocent kid, a grumpy old man, a veteran with PTSD and most of all a great friend. How is it possible to feel so much for what is essentially just a voice. William Daniels will forever be a legend.
So, a Clone trooper.
He's a real-life Mr Feeny.
Next episode of Car Meets World, he can take him to the 80's spots he missed, enjoyed some laughs, and tried to stay out of trouble as car drama permits. ;)
He really looks good in White, cool car!
So well said! A legend indeed. But the French voice-over of KITT is as much a marvel as Mr William Daniels.
@@nomohakon6257 no cause starwars sucks
KITT is a best friend indeed. That one scene where KITT said sorry pal to Michael and ejected him before getting hit by a missile.
1:47 jesus that moment kitt says ta-da-aaa was soo cute
KITT puts on a brave face, but he's really so scared inside. I can tell.
It reminds me of some private moments I've had with my own car. She's proud, but sometimes she needs encouragement.
That Trans Am was a great actor.
To this day, K.I.T.T being dumped into that acid is the most heartbreaking scene I’ve ever watched. Seeing him literally destroyed like that was so devastating for me as a kid growing up. To me, K.I.T.T isn’t just a car and a computer. He’s like a person and a friend. Even though he was hurt, I believe this made him grow and be even better. To me, K.I.T.T will always be the greatest car of all time.
The car was the star of the show.
I agree with your post entirely.
instablaster...
@@XB10001 👍
Agreed
@@XB10001 The car and David Hasselhoff are both the stars of the show.
To this day this is one of my favourite episodes in the series. It shows not only that KITT is like a person when he's hurt, but his friendship with Michael has become so close.
You clearly can see the pain in his face, as he watched K.I.T.T. struggling around the course.
KITT was suffering from the car version of PTSD.
Yea K.I.T.T was a bit off colour 😏
He's drunk.
Ahahahahah
lol
I remember the scene where KITT was dumped into the toxic waste. It actually made me cry.
Same here. It was an emotional scene.
Unforgettable. That part is still tough to watch. Really sad, but at least K.I.T.T got his revenge on the Junkyard Dog in the end.
Watched is a little kid. 5-6 years old I guess. It made me cry and run out of the room.
They should of had Michael go after them in a regular car bc kitt was afraid have Devon tell bonnie standing near kitt that Michael hadnt checked in as planned or something to that affect have kitt blow out of the garage like bat out of hell chosing to find his friend and get to the dump just in time to make a helluva entrance just at the right moment
I cried like a baby! I cant watch this episode anymore
It's at that point I knew as a kids that K.I.T.T. was more than a machine that his computer program developped a soul. It was at that moment I knew K.I.T.T. was no more but Kitt rose to became his own thing a living being in a shape of Trans-Am ♥
The moment they realize KITT was, in simple terms, scared and afraid but trying to act brave to hide it, was very heartbreaking. Not so much for their realization, but for KITT himself to be under such condition. Even though he's basically just a machine with a built-in highly advanced computer onboard. That AI has far more personality and emotions than most human beings, so it is really easy to sympathize with him.

that was one thing (well, one of many things) I didnt like in the 2008 sequel series. KI3T was very emotionless, which was weird since the 3000 was supposed to be more advanced than KITT
@@cernstormrunner7263 I fully agree. K3K was also a lot more frail than K2K. His body was sturdy on its own due to the special coat on on his paintjob while K3K relied exclusively on nanotechnology, which in turn was completely reliant on the AI to work. If the AI was turned off or removed, the body would become no stronger than any ordinary Mustang or other normal car, becoming completely vulnerable to everything. K2K on the other hand, if turned off or removed from the car (as it did happen on multiple occasions throughout the show), would still remain nearly indestructible and so long as the driver could manage the controls, could still perform almost all of its special functions, which is something the car on the reboot could not do. That was another one of the many things that bothered me. The special coat the original KITT had should have been used on the new KITT in unison with the nanotech. _That_ would have been an actual advancement. Though honestly, the coat itself was already too advanced on its own, even on its time.
Not gonna lie, as a kid this episode hit me right in the feels. I wasn't willing to accept that this was the end of the road for KITT.
Same.
Destiny 2?
I was nearly driven to tears after kitt sunk into the toxic waste and later they pulled him out to see the former shell of himself.
@@freedeoxide5179 Destiny 1 & 2. 😊
As a kid I cried :(
Michael: 'the world's greatest automobile!'
Herbie: hold my Castrol.
Knowing Dr. Von Vorman was right about KITT's new fear, Michael still stood up for him and said he was capable of recovering. That's a friend.
Exactly. A true friend knows how to help in a situation like that.
Everyone needs a car like a kitt in their life
KITT is like very human like here....he's been hurt from the acid pit, and fears being hurt again so he goes through the course haphazardly.
Not just that, but he seemed to be slightly malfunctioning like they didn't get the repairs right the first time.
Just give him nitrous-xanax😱😱😝
And a joint 🐲🐲
@@panosvrionis8548 l
@@panosvrionis8548 .
The fact that they were able to repair him to this point from almost nothing left but an empty shell and a few memory bank chips tells me they shouldn’t have given up on KITT so easily.
Excellent point. Why assemble the team for rebuild, then flake on his first test and try to declassify him? Made no sense.
@@wudaddy Lazy writing, to further emphasize that Michael *won't* give up on him.
Dr. Von Vorman suggested to give up. He hasn’t been around KITT as much as Michael and Bonnie have. That’s why the doc was so easy to give up on KITT.
That Michael's "i wouldn't miss it for the world" is just means so much that michael cares kitt a lot
no one ever seems to have their mind blown by the fact KITT is basically a fully sentient very intelligent entity with a fully formed personality of like and dislikes. He's basically a human with cars body and a computers computaional speed and in real life some 30 odd years later we're just barely beginning to create AI and it's not one fraction as devoloped as KITT.
To see KITT face his vulnerable side, it shows he has failings and weaknesses as a human being to deal with a serious injury or adversity for you to rise up and conquer your limits.
During my child hood I wish I could have a car like kitt
But still now it's my dream
In 2020
Who else agree
Hit like...
Yeah even though i wasn't born in the 80s i understand. A dream. Just a dream away. But don't worry one day that dream will be a reality.
That's was disaster.
Right now you will have to be satisfied with a tesla that makes farting sounds
I'm actually going to it. A computer to run many different functions, a modern engine of 600HP plus, proper suspension and diff, engine shielding and body reinforcements so it can jump. It won't be able to ram through buildings, but it will be the hell of a car. It is possible.
I definitely agree. I love the gorgeous KITT.
Michael: "KITT, back before we met. Back when I was Michael Long...(scoffs) what am I telling you this for huh, you already know the story. But maybe you don't know all of it. When I was shot, for weeks after that.. everytime headlights went by or someone lit a match, I'd flinch."
KITT: "How did you overcome it?"
Michael: "I didn't. It overcame itself. All I did was refuse to give into it and do what I knew had to be done."
I like kitt the talking car and she is In the videos i don't know and i want To see him the talking car In America usa
Hello kitt
You are the talking car In funny videos
“I have been poked, prodded, and violated” 😏
And you loved it
Then at 4:12 he lets one rip
lol
My last doctor visit
@@derekwarr8567 yes, that was the car equivalent of having explosive diarrhea
I'm so glad I own a 1988 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am! This is such a great show and KITT is awesome! :)
I saw a 82 trans am once at used car lot. 3 years ago I went to check it out, and the lady who handed me the keys said the car may not start since they've had battery trouble for 2 days. But as i sat in it and put the key in it started without a stutter. Not one it just roared. It was probably the most beautiful sound I ever heard. Sadly I didn't have enough money to buy it (since I'm a high schooler) so it just disappeared one day. But ever since then i seen firebirds almost everywhere. I later brought a 04 Pontiac grand am GT.
Cool

KITT is the Knight Rider car no matter however many times he gets destroyed he'll always come back
Yep, KITT is THE Knight Rider car. Other shows and cars are just imitations.
My heart broke for KITT when he wasn't feeling well..
When he blew fire he should’ve said “oh, excuse me” 😂😂
They sneak up on ya sometimes
lol
Without a doubt, one of the best episodes if not the best episode of Season 3.
This was...
This is...
Old but Gold!
I have been poked, prodded and violated!! FRRRTTTT!! Oh, my!!
What the hell did they do to poor Kitt?!
Maybe gave him a colonoscopy and loosened him up
Seriously it's like being in the hospital for a human. I've been there. My wife just got out of there. So I get why they chose to put that line in the show.
Great episode, just goes to show you that even back then things were that advanced that even computerised talking fictional cars had a soul, sort of, KITT was more than a molecular bonded shell, diodes and AI software. KITT was and is the best 👍
4:14 For a minute there, KITT was confused. He must of thought he was a Fiero (fire joke).
He let loose a fart
😂😂😂😂
KITT with the primer looks out of shape, I feel bad for him. He’s scared as he should, he got rocked. But I’m glad Michael pushed him, everyone needs a good friend to be honest with them, and he got KITTs confidence back.
Michael: Very fine automobile?! KITT is the world's greatest automobile! What are you gonna do? Turn him into a golf-kart?
I can't come up with an original comment, so I just quote the video. LOL... I love you goons.
yea, i lierally watched the video
Utility vehicle perhaps lol
I wouldn't mind a Kitt golf cart for a friend ⛳️ .
So if kitt did not function anymore does Michael get a new kitt or does he have the fight crime in a ordinary car these flag people did not seems to be in any shock about their super artificial intelligence car being destroyed
K.I.T.T. in the acid pit.
Artax in the Swamp of Sadness.
The mental and emotional resilience we developed because of great writing and plot in the 80s.
Plus, I think this scene at least implies that K.I.T.T.'s AI gained some form of sentience unless it's just that human habit of giving such qualities to things with a personality.
KITT: Michael! I'm so glad to see you! I have new diodes, and circuit-boards.
This was my favorite episode but now that I'm 40 years old they talked to him like if he's a real patient he's hurt..lol
Wtf?mine too😍😍
I am 40 too☹️! what thinks where watching back then??😊😊😭
It since u have 40 years old and never heard about Artificial Inteligence
That's was absolute disaster!
@@enthomorf KITT IS NOT ARTIFICIAL ...HE IS A CAR.
@@nationalcitysycho His body is a car, but he has an artificial inteligence. U know that. Even main actor of the series already said that the objetive of the creator was a relationship between the protagonist with KITT, like a cowboy with his loyal horse. That in the beginning he would be like a machine, but the protagonist never wanted to treat KITT like a machine. Thats why since the beginning Michael called KITT as "buddy".
Thats was awsome and clever for that time. Cuz nowdays we have bunch of movies and tv series in the sci fi genre talking about artificial inteligence in many levels of philosophy.
What defines conscience? Something of an extra corporeal, formless and invisible nature? Or just electrochemical stimuli and impulses interpreted by our brain? If it is the second option, then could a machine with artificial intelligence also have consciousness? Could it have feelings? And so on. I think you underestimated the episode or maybe the entire series and thought small.
They made the mistake of using what would later become Tesla self-driving technology. Luckily they switched back to Knight Industries tech and KITT was back to his old self.
Total missed opportunity for Tesla to resurrect a KITT Trans Am.
1:26 You know, while "Junk Yard Dog" and "Knight of the Drones" are both great episodes, I often feel KITT sinking in acid could've happened at the start of Season 3, leading to his dashboard upgrade. KITT sinking with his old dash disintegrating would've felt like a tragic loss after being associated with it in Seasons 1 & 2. Then of course introduce his new dash when he's being recreated and restored. Sometimes feel that would've been a better cause for KITT's dash upgrade than a missile fired up his exhaust in "Drones". But hey, I still enjoy these episodes as they are. Was just merely thinking 'what if' :)
I am 35 years old I still enjoy this show just like I did when I was a kid.What I love about Knight Rider is how Kitt became more human as the show progressed much like Robot B9 in Lost in Space he became more human like with feelings that’s what I love about these shows along with the action and story 😀.
Still entertaining..... it was a masterpiece ahead of its times...... missing everything
I wish I was born in the 80’s just to see this show live
I did, and I’m back here 35 years later reminiscing, this was a nerds dream back then!
Well I was born in the 80's (84) but I was still too young to really appreciate and understand this show!...I think you meant the 70's or even the 60's especially! ....When this show came on T.V. I was in diapers and crawling lol...
@Ala Mierda
But you're Caca dude
TV was just better from the 1960s forward till the late '80s into the mid '90s. And then it seems like it just took a downhill turn. With a few exceptions of course. There's always a few exceptionally great shows. But they're just seem to be more of them in the past. Or perhaps I'm just nostalgic and reminiscing.
Well being born in 1978 I grew up watching this and it was one of the shows that my mum would stop me watching as punishment if i done anything bad😀
This episode was my favourite in the series...
4:15 BURN BABY BURN!!!
KITT looks surprisingly sharp in white
KITT's issue was not having enough useless blinking things on & around him in the lab
LMAO
That’s how I sleep better with blinking light and 80 sci if sounds tuut tuut tuut tuut
KITT looks like a ghost with the white paint.
"I have been poked, prodded and violated" It sounds like KITT would have been in jail or something.
It seems like when i see this i get a depressed feeling until Michael turns it around and saves his best pal KITT then a good feeling arouses .
this is not only an episode of knight rider, thia is also to show how hard the process of change can be for a person, kitt is that person.
KITT: Maybe they should tow me back to...
The moment Michael took command and Bonnie joined him was highly underrated!!!!
I felt really sorry for KITT.
Same Mr. Knight. Same
i did too. its amazing how this show touched us all as little children. we felt sad and hurt seeing this. actually i stopped this at 2 minutes in because i still dont want to see him hit those cones, which shows us hes still not 100%...
Hey Mr Knight why you here?
@@madmaxxxthen30-rwofficialm23 yeah
I love that KITT asked Michael to be at his test run. It was nice Michael said he wouldn't miss it for the world, after all he let KITT die in a vat of acid.
You can forgive kITT this one big time because he was hurt like nothing else that had happened to him. Considering all the incredible things kITT was able to do. Really wish the series didn't finish.
Well, you can thank NBC for that because they kept moving the series from timeslot to timeslot and that's what killed the ratings for Knight Rider.
In this episode, Kit teaches history to a young kid skipping class. This reminded me of Bill and Ted and also back to the future when Kit calls the kid chicken.
I was correct with "16" and "Helena." KITT lost me after that. LOL
"Maybe they should tow me"
A tow truck would have been a huge insult to the old KITT
Michael knew kitt better than the guys that built him if Wilton knight had been alive he would have told them get kitt right
When i first saw when I was a young I saw kITT like this my heart went out to him.
At this point it's more of a psychological issue than any computer or mechanical one. Though it's funny seeing KITT blowing out fire like he just drive-thru ordered Taco Bell, lol
I keep seeing this episode everytime on TV Hits and felt Michael's anger and loved it.
Around 40 years old but still classic TV. Managed to get the 4 seasons on dvd.

That was a good comeback, KITT!
Michael mentions to KITT his experience he had before they met shot in the face to help KITT before going after Byrock
How many great lessons that series taught us back in the '80s regarding AI!
I love Kitt
" Acording to my calculations". My first intellectual phrase. The first time I consider college.
One of my childhood hero .
Michael in this episode: *"you should never fear KITT, that's not a life worth living"*
Michael in the Scent of Roses: *"yeah bye I'm scared of being killed everything I told KITT IS bogus I'm a hypocrite I know bye lol"*
So… nobody’s going to talk about how sick Kitt actually looks in all white..?
Sick sick? Or wicked sick?
@@Jude300c wicked lmao
@NightRaven 630 I’ve seen a few, they look really nice ngl. Just hard to find. You’ll mostly find them with white being the dominant color and black or not on the side
Loved this show back in the 80s! I’m so close to pulling the trigger on the blu-ray box set, but am holding out for a sale.
This deserved to be a 2-hour episode.
Also, I read somewhere, this particular car was the car they used to become the Super Pursuit Mode car. Not sure how true that is.
Actually, I think that's the Seasons 1-2 car, which they continued using after KITT's dashboard upgrade in "Knight of the Drones" for these blind driving scenes. Cuz if you look closely during this scene, there's a couple shots where you can just see those little twin monitors of the Seasons 1-2 dash instead of the big single monitor of the Seasons 3-4 dash. For this scene, they put white padding or something on the car to make it appear white. And yes I agree, this should've been a 2-hour episode.
@@AndrewChapman yes, it was definitely a season 1-2 car. You might be right about the covering, I always thought it was just a bad primer job. Will have to wait and see what the Knight Rider Historians say when they break this episode down.
Also, if memory serves me, in KITT v KARR, at the end, when Michael tells John that he owns the marina, I believe that too is a season 1-2 car as it has a two tv dash.
They used 2 cars for these scenes. The one pulled out of the pit and shown in the repair bay was originally a season 3 stunt car and later used as the static super pursuit vehicle. It was only used for the close up shots of the various fins and vents extending. it had the engine and interior pulled out to make room for the hydraulics that worked it. It was a train wreck auto so had to be crushed when the series ended. The car seen driving round the course was most likely the season 1 & 2 backup hero car (hence the 2 screen dash visible) and modified to be a blind drive car. By the time the episode was filmed, the main, season 1 & 2 hero car had been destroyed during filming and pretty sure none of the stunt cars had the full dash in them. If it was the backup hero car then it was one Universal owned outright so wouldn't have been crushed and probably survived. Not sure where it ended up though.
Check out knight rider historians they have a bunch of information
Just got the entire 4 seasons in the mail this morning, thank goodness it is a rainy day. Watching season 1 now!
Random fact. William Daniels (the voice of KITT, 94 and still going btw) only agreed to the show if the mechanic who worked on him could be named after his wife. That's why she is called Bonnie after Bonnie Bartlett.
Kitt is married to Mrs Isiah Edwards?
@@justina249 yes indeedy. Daniels and Bartlett also played on-screen husband and wife in St. Elsewhere.
@@develynseether4426 oh wow I didn't know that. I didn't know that Mr Daniels voiced Kitt till he starred in Boy Meets World and I heard him and im like.. wait a minute is that Kitt? Sure enough lol
I have all four seasons on Blu-Ray. Watching it now it seems like every season someone tries to destroy KITT.
I had read somewhere that it was actually the case, but it was a "running joke" or something to that effect.
Then he's back better then ever.
Except season one. Season 2 on yes. Goliath. The rocket from the drone in season 3 the acid pit in junkyard dog and the juggernaut in 4. Poor Kitt was probably like really Michael how much more of this do I have to take?
Did anyone notice a cone fell already in the timestamp 2:06
I like how an obviously serious mechanical issue causing a fireball is pooh-poohed by Michael as KITT just needing to get in shape.
Yes, a fire right by the fuel tank is usually an issue, lol. Could be a tad dangerous.
I love kitt but at the last part his in pain when his fire came on and that was so bad i can feel kitt pain how bad that hurts but thank god Michael was there to fix that problem with kitt❤
i have always loved the night rider theme song
Season 3 .... Knightrider! Love it. 😍👍
KITT must have ate some spicy gasoline, he farted fire.
KITT: Oh! Oh my!
Between the General Lee and KITT, I learned to humanize cars and see them other than machines. lol
I remember that, "TARAAAH" phrase when he uttered it on his first test run, this episode is such a memory in my head.
thats what makes this show so good you know kitt is strong but kitt can get damaged and destroyed
Ahhhh the good ol 80s proud to say I was born that decade n can't say the same for most cars or shows from the 80s but the trans am and Knightrider were some of the best ones out there
KITT definitely had PTSD, he looked so pale
The driver in the car had a little too much to drink. Its not KITT's fault. He wan in manuel mode.
2:44 Good thing we replaced the school children with cones.
Michael and KITT are my heroes ❤️
Not gonna lie, this episode confused me. For a number of reasons... After his acid dip, there was NOTHING left but a shell. Nothing at all. There was nothing to start over with. Nothing left inside of the car even resembled KITT. It also happened in the middle of a season. Typically, when something this catastrophic would happen to KITT, it was a season opener. A better budget could have been used had it been a season opener. But, regardless, Junk Yard Dog was still a great episode and one of my Top 10 favorite episodes of KR.
Or a cliffhanger
KITT: A little rusty, but not bad. Eh, Michael?
Michael weakly says "Yeaaaaaaaaah..ya look great out there buddy...."...Michael was obviously lying to KITT by the tone of is voice! He Didn't want to upset KITT by telling him "not so good" which was the truth....
Afterci saw this episode, I used to call KITT the Light Rider, because of the Primer
I watched this show religiously as a kid and I apparently either missed this story, or I am completely not remembering it at all.
Love KITT ❤️❤️
You bet!!!! Lets put Kitt into shape!!!!
I love this show, and seeing it as a kid it was sooo awesome but let me say mind out: for an (supposedly) indestructible car KITT sure got destroyed and damaged easily. When i saw him being dipped to the acid I thought - surely he has some turboboosters or some microjam to prevent him from beind dipped. But he got dipped and I was sad and pissed at the same time. It was kind of a let down, i felt he could have escaped somehow. Rocket boosters, harpoon and winch maybe? And that's not the only episode, where i felt that. He had been tampered with and whatever multiple times. For an top secret project he had surprisingly bad security for one- like not noticing "Bonnie" doing harmful things or whatever it might have been in a particular episodes. And molecular shell composition being stolen... list goes on and on. I realize those were plot requirements. Obviously if KITT had been indestructible, then there would have been no danger of him destroyed in many episodes. He would have TuboBoosted straight through Goliath and others just like that. But that for one would't have worked well now wouldn't it.
KITT: Just as soon as you can get me out of here, I have been poked, prodded, and violated.
My favourite episode of all four seasons without a doubt.
