    I had always wondered what the real reason why Knight Rider was cancelled, and thanks to you, now I know. I remember being sad and disappointed as a kid when I learned that Knight Rider was cancelled. I was 4 years old at the time. I am the same age as Knight Rider so I didn't see it when it first aired but I did. start watching it when I was 3 years old and I absolutely fell in love with the show and KITT. Even at 3 or 4 years old, I remember sitting through the entire episodes and even sitting through the commercials which I hated, but I didn't want to miss any of the show. That love for the show still resonates with me. I hope one day I can see a KITT car which I've never seen in person before, not even a replica. I still hope to see one some day. As for your videos, I've thoroughly enjoyed them especially these episode commentaries. I've learned a lot about the episodes, behind the scenes and the cars used in the show which is what interested me the most. All the other stuff interested me too. Thank you Knight Rider Historians for preserving the history and legacy of the show. You guys Rock! And I'm not just saying that. Knight Rider may have been over for decades now, but Knight Rider lives on through you guys. Keep doing what you guys are doing.

    Two years. Just great. This was like watching and investigating the show. Amazing.
    That KITT with a temporary stock bumper, the miniatures, all the stunts, the train derailment, that manual car, the 352 Pacemaker, jump acrillic window car, high traction drop down...and many other cool stuff.
    Thank very much, Joe, for all the work you did. Honestly, by far, the best Knight Rider History, the real Knight Rider History.
    This was truly "The world...of the Knight Rider".

    Thanks for all these great commentaries! Cool to see David's dad too!
    Yeah 1986 was the end of the "car chase era" / big action shows since they pretty much all died that year. Only A-team managed one more year. Magnum PI went longer but it never was a big stunt show. Poor Street Hawk hit the ground running in 1985 with a bang but was late to the game so never had a chance. Big-time car chases would regain popularity in 1998 in cinema, but the stunt filled TV shows seem to forever be gone :(

    Great job, Joe. I have vivid memories of being 5 years old, tuning in to my local NBC affiliate, KSDK, Friday April 11th at 8, expecting to spend a fun hour with all my FLAG friends. Instead, I was horrified to find that, instead of seeing Knight Rider air in its usual spot, the station was airing the A Team instead.
    I was heartbroken.
    My parents shrugged it off, saying “well, they must have canceled Knight Rider.”
    I remember calling the station first thing Monday morning and speaking to a station employee, asking through tears why they cancelled Knight Rider. I don’t remember her reply, other than she surely must have been bewildered by a young boy’s sorrowful plea to bring the show back.
    The sting never quite went away. Such a shame that the show went out with a whimper, but it’s nice to have your being here, continuing to tell the stories and to keep the door open for commentaries of the several successor series.
    … all that said, please skip Knight Rider 2010.

    4:02 - I have read Hasselhoffs "Making waves" a few months ago and he says he was informed in November 1985 that KR won't be returning for 1986-87 season. So apparently he knew before filming. On the other hand, he also said that season IV was "refreshed" with Super Pursuit Mode and hiring of Peter Parros, so it would be strange to make the cancelling decision in Nov 1985 before seeing the ratings of season IV, which was not filmed yet...

    I actually started rewatching Team Knight Rider on Vudu. It actually is a lot better than I remembered -- it just ended up being Agents of S.H.E.I.L.D. with talking cars instead of a continuation of the original series. The action sequences were a lot more elaborate than I remember -- that's where all the budget went. The stunts are much better than 99% of shows made today with terrible CGI for special effects.

    Oh yes. This episode...what a shame and you did your best to get something for us. However - I must tell you this: it is not common to find an intelligent, clever, witty and funny stuff like your KR Episode Commentaries. Great research work at every aspect! And yes, you are right about those hidden treats like white wire and many others... If I may add one personal thing - I became a devoted KR fan in the times of socialist Czechoslovakia - so no "western culture" for us. But we were able to watch Austrian TV and there I was glued to the screen, with only scraps of German language, a mother of two children. Crazy or not - it was great. And still is, still is. Thank you very much, Merry Christmas and hopefully - see you soon.

    A few years back, my wife and I watched the entire series and I purposely skipped "The Scent of the Roses" and she noticed it. When she asked I told her "Wait for 'Voo Doo Knight' and you'll see. When we watched it and I told her that was the seres finale, she was in awe. Then we watched "The Scent of the Roses" and she said 'Now THAT'S how you end a series, "Voo Doo Knight!" '. Very nice episode and a great run. You guys did a terrific job here. I really loved these episodes and I'm kinda gonna miss them.

    I am proud to say that I have watched every single episode commentary! Great job and I appreciate all your hard work and dedication to the Knight Rider fan base! I started watching this show back in 1982 in front of a black and white television my parents living room. I was fortunate to watch the pilot and every episode that followed until it's cancellation in 1986. When the show was in syndication on the USA network, I recorded every episode on VHS tape which I still have to this day. Of course I have this entire series on DVD. I am so thankful for RUclips as it has enabled content to still be created about the show. Please continue the content and I would love to see Team Knight Rider and the reboot in 2008 of Knight Rider. I would love to hear your thoughts and commentary on both those series.

I couldn't remember anything after that. I was traumatized for days. Life for me was over at that point. 😭 CURSE YOU UNIVERSAL STUDIOS!! 😡😡😡😡 Almost 40 years of PTSD and we all come to Joe for our therapy sessions lol 😄 Thanks to KRH, I'm a born again KR fan.

    I've really learned so much about the show, the backgrounds and many many more details.
    Sometimes it has been quite a challenge for me listening to you because you don't speak german, but this was also fun and a good practice for me. Just like watchig the show in it's original language.
    Well, the commentaries are over, now it's your book which will open every single Knight Rider episode for me. So I will read the book first, then I will start the episode.
    I've just recieved the 40th Anniversary Edition by Turbine Medien GmbH that is on release here in Germany ( limited to 3939 pieces and for 199 € by the way ) with a total weight of five pounds.
    That's why I will order some of your t-shirts to support your Semi-Project in the next year because I've already spent too much for Knight Rider.
    I'm sure your work will give me a much better view again in every car, every stunt, every actor and every location.
    Last but not least - I wish you and your family a merry christmas ( Frohe Weihnachten 🎄) and a happy new year.

    Wow! A very heartfelt thanks Joe for giving us these amazing and informative commentary videos! Having read your books and other authors knight rider books seeing the pictures especially some of the behind the scenes especially enhanced the experience.
    Even with John Vernon,and Henry Gibson the episode is not up to the usual. I am old enough to recall Mr. Gibson on the late 1960's NBC series Rowan and Martin's laugh in,which also featured a young Goldie Hawn and Ruth Buzzi among others.
    It's a shame we all didn't get a fifth season but if they were going to roll the budget back for a fifth like something similar to the lower budgeted season 4 of Airwolf on the USA network than maybe in retrospect it's just as well that it ended here.we will always have the 4 seasons to watch and thanks to you the interesting facts make it even more fun to watch.Kudos for an extremely well done endeavor!👍👍

    Dang John Schneider said the same thing about Dukes. They all came to work ready to do season 8 just to find out it was cancelled

    Beginning in the Fall of 1986, “Knight Rider” was in rerun Syndication, and continues to be to this very day. For some reason, stations were originally offered either the hour-long or half-hour format. Why a half-hour format is way beyond me. Good thing my station, KTLA, aired it in the hour-long format.

      We got some of those half hour shows in the UK. (22 minutes really).
      It made no sense. Just like Devon wearing Bonnie's glasses.

    Oh, and it's tragic that "A knight in shining armor" is the least viewed video. Good episode, and one of the better bloopers from the reel comes from that episode.

    Great job joe on all of your commentaries. The details you provided were amazing. I particularly liked the location info, then and now. Keep up the good work particularly on the semi restoration. I’m looking forward to seeing it finished.

    I'm really surprised that Knight Rider didn't get a 5th season, because hearing that the show was doing well in the ratings you would think it would get a 5th season, but Knight Rider didn't. Great job on this commentary series on Knight Rider, Joe. The biggest mistake that Universal did was canceling Knight Rider. I would love to see commentaries on Team Knight Rider, Knight Rider 2000, Knight Rider 2010 & Knight Rider 2008.

    Well there it is. I've watched every commentary - I've gained insight, knowledge and learned more than I ever thought possible about KR - I am so so glad that Joe took the time and effort to do these. Thank you Joe - I laughed, I thought about crying, it was an experience! I look forward to whatever videos come out next!

    Big thanks for the episode commentary series, it's been fun way to watch the entire series and learn new information about it I didn't know before :) The numbers you told in the beginning are very impressive, people still love Knight Rider :) So sad Knight Rider was canceled after only 4 seasons, I'm sure 5th season would've still had good ratings, I know I would've definetely watched it. Now I feel Knight Rider was canceled prematurely, there was still "hunger" to see more Knight Rider adventures.
    Knight Rider never had one of those "memories" episodes, like some other series, so in that way Knight Rider always offered genuine new storyline for each episode :)

      well maybe it's a good thing it ended there because a 5th season would have been made on a budget
