Amazon.co.uk Review
No one in the 1980s had his finger on the pulse of gizmo-crazy adolescent boys like producer Glen Larson, creator of Battlestar Galactica and Manimal. But the peak of Larson's particular genius has to be Knight Rider, the love story of an absurdly handsome man and his absurdly indestructible car. Former detective Michael Knight (David Hasselhoff, later to achieve worldwide media dominance with Baywatch) zooms across the U.S. in K.I.T.T., a supercharged talking Trans Am with an impenetrable shell and the catty voice of William Daniels (St. Elsewhere). From the Las Vegas desert to the Louisiana bayou, Michael and K.I.T.T. solve crimes and help the downtrodden with the aid of a multi-million-dollar corporation run by dapper Devon Myles (Edward Mulhare) and mechanic/secretary/nanny April Curtis (Rebecca Holden, who took over from Patricia McPherson for the second season only).

The first season was goofy camp from the start, but the second turned even more giddily ridiculous: K.I.T.T. developed supersensors, telekinesis, and the ability to drive on water; plots included amnesia, super attack helicopters, a desperately needed transplant for a sick girl, and a supremely cheesy evil-twin storyline featuring Garthe Knight, son of the multimillionaire who gave Michael his identity-changing facial surgery, played by Hasselhoff with a mustache, soul patch, and even more luxuriant hair. In one episode, Michael goes "undercover" as the lead singer of a rock band, allowing Hasselhoff to flaunt his beloved-in-Germany vocal stylings. Of special note is an episode featuring Geena Davis (future Oscar-winner for The Accidental Tourist) as the daughter of a cat burglar, perhaps the only episode with a love interest as cartoonishly good-looking as Hasselhoff himself. This is definitive trash television, the kind of empty calories that, for some viewers, are irresistibly tasty. For Knight Rider fans, Season Two is a feast. --Bret Fetzer

Synopsis
One of the most popular action shows of the early 1980s, Knightrider inspired a devoted following because of its high-tech premise and the appeal of star David Hasselhoff. Hasselhoff plays Michael Knight, a former cop who is paired with KITT, an indestructible car with numerous special functions, including artificial intelligence. Michael and KITT roam the country, righting wrongs and stopping criminal plots. This collection includes all the episodes from the second season.

KITT again
This 80's series which has gotten a cult status has aged fairly well true the hair style give the age away but KITT is still state of the art with respect to his enhancement speed. protection, Ski Mode and not forgetting Turbo Boost.

Everyone want a KITT some people went over to thr USA and bought a T-Top and added the flashing red light just to make thier look like KITT.

Everywhere the show was broadcast saw an influx of black T-Top with red flashing light on the bonnet.

KITT is still the coolest car in the world I would still love to have car like him no lessons needed.

This boxset is season 2 and has no extras which doesn't really sprise me as they were all on season 1 every season are now out on sale there is on on thing missing from the boxset and that is Knight Rider 2050 and if you've seen it on TV you make think thank god as Knight Rider 2050 is the worst spinoff apart fro Team Knight Rider.

Get the best and buy the other seasons now and watch KITT take on the cirimals that operate above the law.

KITT may be a car but has the human quaitly of caring and he seems to show more human quauitlys like fear which some may see as a weakness

Great Season of Knight Rider
Season 2 i liked for 2 episodes that i'm glad i have on DVD and that is Goliath and Goliath Returns. simply the best 2 episodes of Knight Rider but wait more to come you had episodes like Merchants Of Death which i really liked and Return To Cadiz (by some fans they say Return to cadiz is one of the worst episodes of Knight Rider ) then you had Soul Survivor another fan favourite and knightmares. but the one that always makes me cry at the end is the one Let It Be Me (it's the famous one where Hasselhoff sings in it)where michael goes undercover as a rock singer in a band. all the other episodes are good as well and as usual no extras by Universal. but they do say by Season 3 Knight Rider did get better.

The best season
Season 2 was my fave season of the show. I think the addition of a gorgeous redhead in the fine form of April Curtis got my heart pumpin'! Even when I was a kid!

Most of the storylines were better than Season 1, which IMO had more of a military bent. There's Goliath and Goliath Returns, the second being far superior and darker than the first. In both cases, David Hasselhoff plays both Michael Knight AND Garthe Knight (aka "evil Michael Knight"). Though, sometimes he was better at playing Garthe than Michael!

Other compelling storylines include Soul Survivor, where the Knight2000 is stolen and the AI removed, and Knightmares, where Michael has a bout of amnesia and must get to grips with his current situation.

The picture quality and audio are still brilliant (though not excellent). Features: nothing. No little extras, pics or commentaries! Season 1 had excellent extras but Universal let us down here. Booo!

Still, the fact that there's a redhead on the show more than made up for it. Just wish April has stayed for at least another season.
