"A Definite Upgrade From KITT's 1st Season "
I love this 1983-84 Season DVD of Knight Rider and it is even better than Knight Rider's 1st Season, because the 2nd Season was more upgraded with more action in it than the 1982-83 Season along with the fact that this 1983-84 Season was also pretty much the season when NBC had moved Knight Rider from Fridays to Sundays, which takes me all the way back to memory lane to the Summer of 1983 when NBC announced that Knight Rider was jumping to a new day & time in August of 1983 since NBC had Knight Rider moved to an earlier time slot by moving Knight Rider from Friday nights at 9PM to Sunday nights at 8PM, which gave me something to look forward to on Sundays, since I've never been too fond of Sundays, despite the fact that I still preferred Knight Rider on Fridays.

I also noticed in the Second Season that KITT actually had some more upgraded features than they showed in the First Season too, even though KITT still had the same dashboard as he did in the 1st Season.

I also noticed that this 1983-1984 Season had more 2-hour special episodes than any other season like "Goliath", "Mouth Of The Snake", & "Goliath Returns" along with the fact that this was the season when technician April Curtis(Rebecca Holden)replaced Bonnie Barstow(Patricia McPherson), which was of course before Bonnie's return to the show in the Third Season when April departed.

In addition, it was interesting seeing David Hasselhoff playing his first dual role in the "Goliath" episode and then again in the "Goliath Returns" episode as both Michael and as Wilton Knight's evil estranged son(Garthe Knight).

The "Merchants Of Death" episode was also kinda neat when Michael & KITT go up against a futuristic superchoper with heavy artillery, since it was kind of like watching KNIGHT RIDER battle AIRWOLF in a way, even though AIRWOLF hadn't even came out yet, which takes me back to memory lane when AIRWOLF made it's debut on CBS in January of 1984, especially since AIRWOLF became in hefty competition with KNIGHT RIDER along with the fact that AIRWOLF was on CBS every Saturday night while KNIGHT RIDER was on NBC every Sunday night, but KNIGHT RIDER still got better ratings than AIRWOLF did.

It was also interesting watching Michael reunite with his ex-fiancee Stevie(Catherine Hickland) in the "Let It Be Me" episode when he goes undercover as a singer to flush out the culprits who had Stevie's former band member/lover(John Patrick-Reger) killed along with the fact that the "Let It Be Me" episode used intriguing clips from the "White Bird" episode of when Michael was getting reaquainted with Stevie after his identity change and then Michael and Stevie singing a love song called "Let It Be Me" to one another towards the end of this episode just before saying another tearful goodbye at the end of the "Let It Be Me" episode along with the fact that I noticed KITT and many other things were more upgraded in the "Let It Be Me" episode than they were in the "White Bird" episode, even though KITT didn't even have his new dashboard yet, but coincidentally, David Hasselhoff and Catherine Hickland were married in real life at the time during Knight Rider's 2nd, 3rd, and 4th Seasons, but ended up in divorce in 1986 around the same time Knight Rider was cancelled.

It was also interesting seeing
-Tim O'Connor in the "Brother's Keeper" episode after his co-starring days as Dr. Huer on BUCK ROGERS
-Joanne Pflug in the "Diamonds Aren't A Girls Best Friend" episode after her co-starring days as Colt Seavers agent(Big Jack)on THE FALL GUY
-Michael Fairman in the "Brothers Keeper" episode before his co-starring days on THE YOUNG & THE RESTLESS
-Mary-Beth Evans before her co-starring days as Kayla on DAYS OF OUR LIVES
-Lydia Cornell in the "Speed Demons" episode during her co-starring days on TOO CLOSE FOR COMFORT
-Anne Lockhart in the "Return To Cadiz" episode after her co-starring days as Sheba on BATTLESTAR GALACTICA
-Lance LeGault as a villain in the "Knight & Shining Armor" episode during his Col.Decker days on THE A-TEAM
-Shanna Reed in the "Let It Be Me" episode before her co-starring days on MAJOR DAD
-Robert Colbert in the "Mouth Of The Snake" episode after his co-starring days on YOUNG & THE RESTLESS
-Ethan Wayne in the "Speed Demons" episode before his co-starring days on THE BOLD & THE BEAUTIFUL and before his co-starring days as Los Angeles police Officer Matt Doyle on THE NEW ADAM-12
-Gerald Gordon in the "Brothers Keeper" episode during his co-starring days on GENERAL HOSPITAL
-Dana Elcar in the "Merchants Of Death" episode before his co-starring days on MACGYVER

The Knight Rider-Season 2 DVD also provided a brief summary of each episode including their original air dates just like Universal did with the Knight Rider-Season 1 DVD, plus they showed each and every episode complete and uncut just like they were shown when I watched them for the first time on NBC back in the early 1980's.

Knight Rider's Second Season was also the 2nd most phenomenal year of Knight Rider on NBC too along with the fact that this was the season that gave me something to look forward to every Sunday, especially since I've never been very fond of Sundays, but at least I had something else to look forward to on Sunday nights before going back to school on Mondays, since Knight Rider was part of NBC's Sunday night line-up at the time.

As a matter of fact, that reminds me of when NBC's motto was "BE THERE", since that was their slogan on NBC back then from the Fall of 1983 thru the Spring of 1984.

I also noticed that after watching the 2-hour special episodes like "Mouth Of The Snake" and "Goliath Returns" on this Knight Rider-Season Two DVD that USA, WGN, Sci-Fi Channel, TV Land, and all the channels that showed the Knight Rider reruns in syndication had cut out so many scenes, especially in the 2-hour episodes, which was great to be able to see uncut, but such a shame that there were so many scenes in each episode that I didn't even know were actually there before, especially in the "Mouth Of The Snake" episode and "Goliath Returns" episodes, which made it seem like about half the scenes in those episodes were deleted to allot more time for commercials in between.

So I recommend this DVD to anyone who bought and liked Knight Rider-Season One and I think anybody who was a Knight Rider fan like me who watched Knight Rider religiously on NBC every Friday night in the 1st Season and every Sunday night in the 2nd and 3rd Seasons would agree with me on this review for Knight Rider's 2nd Season.

"not bad entertainment for the price. "
Obviously the blueprint for Miami Vice in a lot of ways. The music is from progressive music in the day, the car is a big highlight of the show just like in Miami Vice (boats too) and the star keeps saying "pal", just like Sonny in Vice. Many of the camera work shots are similar.

By the way, the intermissions have a car coming fast from the distant view and has it coming right at us. The Prisoner, from the 60's, used the same exact shot only with an older sportcar. Whew, is nothing original in tv?

"Knight Rider- season two"
K.I.T.T. and michel kick more bad guys but
I grew up watching this show.
I still love it today,

thank you so much

"Great DVD's and packaging"
This set is a set of 3 DVD's Double sided with the episodes nicely worded on the back of each disk box. Nice slimline packaging and edited well. I have enjoyed these shows very much also. This is a must for any Knight Rider Fan.

"My guilty pleasure and yours, now on DVD."
Ahhh... The early 1980's. Reagan was president, new wave dominated the radiowaves and MTV actually played MUSIC VIDEOS! Ask anyone who grew up during this period what their favorite non-animated show was as a kid and they'll probably say "Knight Rider" (unless they're from the south, then they'd probably say Dukes of Hazzard) KR, as its affectionately called by some fans, may seem quirky and obscure nowadays with its atari centipede sound effects, poofie aqua-net hairdo's, over-acting and "sooo not the original artist" song usage, but we didn't care...

To us this was the best thing on TV besides Smurfs and He-Man and it appealed to our parents as well. KR was like James Bond meets Herbie the Love Bug. While our mothers drooled over the blue-eyed hunky Hasselhoff, we were captivated by the ominous-looking but friendly talking black Trans Am, K.I.T.T. (Knight Industries Two Thousand) we giggled at the odd-couple banter between Michael and KITT, we smiled everytime theives tried to steal KITT and failed, and we cried when KITT got destroyed (but they -always- managed to fix him, otherwise there was no show).

I stumbled across Season 3 in a mall for $24. The visual quality of these discs is pretty good although what's really missing is some blooper outakes (yes, they exist and they're hilarious) director/actor interviews and a behind the scenes look at how all the KITT's were crafted by tv & movie car builder, George Barris. Another minus point is the double sided DVD's which are impossible to -NOT- smudge.
