Trivia:

Team Knight Rider use five different vehicles for their missions, each with its own computer AI system like the original Knight 2000 vehicle. Unlike KITT, these are specialized units with specific roles in the team. In addition, after the K.R.O. incident, Garland has had each vehicle installed with intentional weaknesses to act as a fail safe in case any of them go rogue. Although armored to protect their occupants, the vehicles do not share the original KITT's nearly indestructible "molecular bondage shell". Bullets can shatter windows or blown open with a small explosive, for example, while body panels can be damaged in collisions and roll-overs. The vehicles deploy their own self-repair system enabling the cars to fix their own minor damage shattered windows and crushed body panels have been shown "fixed" soon after taking damage. More severe impacts however, require body shop maintenance to repair the vehicles.

Quotes:

[Kyle has revealed his Mobius Mind Control Theory]

Erica West: For once, Plato, I understand and agree with you. Kyle, You're nuts!

The Greatest American Television Show

This show was the best. I have to admit, it is my favorite show, and i have all 22 episodes on tape. The stories are top notch, and unlike many action shows, it leaves just enough hanging so that you always come back for more. Too bad the show was cancelled, before some of the mysteries were solved.
