Knight Rider is an American television series that ran from September 26, 1982, to April 4, 1986. The series was broadcast on NBC and starred David Hasselhoff as Michael Knight, a modern-day "knight" who drove an advanced car called K.I.T.T. with artificial intelligence while fighting crime.
Conceived and produced by Glen A. Larson, the show was an instant hit.
Intro and Outro
The intro through out most of the episodes, always began with a narration:
"Knight Rider, a shadowy flight into the dangerous world of man who does not exist.
Michael Knight, a young loner on a crusade to champion the cause of the innocent, the helpless, the powerless in a world of criminals who operate above the law."
Throughout most of the first season, the outro was Michael and K.I.T.T. driving though a road in the desert with Wilton Knight's words of "One man can make a difference Michael."
Then the narration goes on to say:
"Michael Knight, a lone crusader in a dangerous world. The world of the Knight Rider." The Outro of some of season 1 and the entries seasons 2 and 3 was Michael and K.I.T.T driving into the sunset, for Season 4 they drove toward the camera in super pursuit mode.
