All right. So, I’m a sucker for books about TV shows. I’ll give you one guess what this one is about.

‘Knight Rider’ was the first of high-tech vehicles moving away from the sit-com orientation played strictly for laughs. It was also a reasonable hit for three seasons before declining in its fourth season but backthen, this was still respectable viewing figures compared today.

Knight Rider Legacy by John Huth IV and Richie F. LevineIf you haven’t caught on in the re-runs, ‘Knight Rider’ the series is about a former police detective given a new identity in an unusual witness replacement programme and allowed out on the streets with a remarkable AI talking T-top car with other useful functions to fight crime.

This book covers and interviews it’s creation by Glen Larson to its stars, David Hasselhoff, Patricia MacPherson, Rebecca Holden and William Daniels as well as key stunt driver Jack Gill. There is also a rather intense episode guide with lots of details.

If you ever wondered what record was played on a particular episode, this covers the lot right down to what KITT technology was used. It’s a shame that there was an absence of synopsises when covering the ‘Team Knight Rider’ series but I get the feeling that the omission was more to do with page count.

One has to admire the depth these two authors have done on this series. If you’re a fan of ‘Knight Rider’, then you really should be buying this book and be adding it to your collection.

It’s a great reference book on the subject.
