About Knight Rider the Series

The original “Knight Rider” ran on NBC from September 1982 to August 1986. The series, from Glen A. Larson, starred David Hasselhoff as crime fighter “Michael Knight,” and featured the voice of actor William Daniels as the iconic K.I.T.T. car (Knight Industries Two Thousand), a Pontiac Trans-Am controlled by a highly sophisticated computer. When the series begins, Las Vegas police officer “Michael Long” (Hasselhoff) is nearly killed by a gunshot wound to the face. Billionaire inventor “Wilton Knight” rescues the young undercover cop and after plastic surgery, officer Michael Long has a new face and a new identity as “Michael Knight.” The dying inventor reveals his latest invention to Knight, the incredible super-car K.I.T.T., and convinces him to join the team at the Foundation for Law and Government, the organization Wilton Knight created to promote justice. Each week, Knight and his trusted K.I.T.T. car set forth to fight the criminals that operated “above the law.” The series also starred Edward Mulhare as “Devon Miles” and Patricia McPherson as “Dr. Bonnie Barstow.”
