Knight Rider Classic is a beloved NBC television series that aired from 1982 to 1986, starring David Hasselhoff, Edward Mulhare, Patricia McPherson, Rebecca Holden, and Peter Parros. The show follows the adventures of a man named Michael Knight (Hasselhoff) and his smart and powerful car, KITT (Knight Industries Two Thousand), as they fight crime and solve mysteries in the name of justice.

Michael Knight, a former police officer, is recruited by the mysterious philanthropist Wilton Knight (Mulhare) to be the human partner and driver of KITT, a futuristic car with advanced features such as artificial intelligence, turbo boost, and voice-activated controls. With the help of KITT's powerful technology, Michael and his team take on dangerous villains and high-stakes missions, often putting their own lives on the line for the greater good.

Throughout the show's four seasons, Michael and KITT go up against a wide range of enemies, including international arms dealers, corrupt government officials, and even supernatural forces. Michael's allies in his fight against crime include Bonnie Barstow (McPherson), a brilliant engineer who maintains KITT's systems, and April Curtis (Holden), a skilled mechanic and fellow crime fighter who joins the team in later seasons.

Peter Parros plays the role of Reginald Cornelius III, a.k.a. RC3, a streetwise informant who occasionally aids Michael and KITT in their investigations. RC3 is a reformed criminal who uses his knowledge of the criminal underworld to help the team, and his interactions with Michael and KITT provide some of the show's most memorable comic relief moments.

As Michael and KITT navigate the dangerous and often complicated world of crime-fighting, they also develop a deep bond and mutual trust. Michael sees KITT as more than just a car, often referring to him as his "partner" and valuing his input and opinions as if he were a human being. KITT, for his part, demonstrates his own emotional intelligence and loyalty to Michael, often putting himself in harm's way to protect his human companion.

One of the most iconic aspects of Knight Rider Classic is KITT's distinctive voice, provided by actor William Daniels. KITT's dry, sarcastic wit and sophisticated British accent make him a beloved character in his own right, and his interactions with Michael and other characters provide some of the show's best moments.

Overall, Knight Rider Classic is a classic TV show that remains popular with fans today. Its unique blend of action, humor, and futuristic technology continues to captivate audiences, and its portrayal of the enduring friendship between Michael and KITT is a testament to the power of loyalty and teamwork. Whether you're a longtime fan or a newcomer to the franchise, Knight Rider Classic is a must-watch for anyone interested in great television.

Knight Rider Classic is a series that ran for 4 seasons (90 episodes) between September 26, 1982 and on NBC
