Description:
Get ready for more explosive, edge-of-your-seat adventure in all 21 Second Season episodes of television’s hottest crime show, Knight Rider. Ride shotgun with mysterious crimefighter Michael Knight (David Hasselhoff) and the baddest car on four wheels, K.I.T.T., as they chase more elusive criminals in each action-packed episode. Available on DVD for the first time ever, the heart-pounding Second Season of Knight Rider packs in even more thrills and more high-speed chases. It’s full-throttle excitement with Michael Knight and K.I.T.T. in the action series that left all others in the dust.
Amazon.com:
No one in the 1980s had his finger on the pulse of gizmo-crazy adolescent boys like producer Glen Larson, creator of Battlestar Galactica and Manimal. But the peak of Larson's particular genius has to be Knight Rider, the love story of an absurdly handsome man and his absurdly indestructible car. Former detective Michael Knight (David Hasselhoff, later to achieve worldwide media dominance with Baywatch) zooms across the U.S. in K.I.T.T., a supercharged talking Trans Am with an impenetrable shell and the catty voice of William Daniels (St. Elsewhere). From the Las Vegas desert to the Louisiana bayou, Michael and K.I.T.T. solve crimes and help the downtrodden with the aid of a multi-million-dollar corporation run by dapper Devon Myles (Edward Mulhare) and mechanic/secretary/nanny April Curtis (Rebecca Holden, who took over from Patricia McPherson for the second season only).
The first season was goofy camp from the start, but the second turned even more giddily ridiculous: K.I.T.T. developed supersensors, telekinesis, and the ability to drive on water; plots included amnesia, super attack helicopters, a desperately needed transplant for a sick girl, and a supremely cheesy evil-twin storyline featuring Garthe Knight, son of the multimillionaire who gave Michael his identity-changing facial surgery, played by Hasselhoff with a mustache, soul patch, and even more luxuriant hair. In one episode, Michael goes 'undercover' as the lead singer of a rock band, allowing Hasselhoff to flaunt his beloved-in-Germany vocal stylings. Of special note is an episode featuring Geena Davis (future Oscar-winner for The Accidental Tourist) as the daughter of a cat burglar, perhaps the only episode with a love interest as cartoonishly good-looking as Hasselhoff himself. This is definitive trash television, the kind of empty calories that, for some viewers, are irresistibly tasty. For Knight Rider fans, Season Two is a feast. --Bret Fetzer
Knight Rider--Season Two Trivia
• Although David Hasselhoff plays both Michael and Garthe Knight in one of the episodes in this season, he is only credited on-screen for playing Michael.
• For this season, Rebecca Holden plays April Curtis, KITT's new technician. She was brought in after Patricia McPherson (Bonnie) pushed the show's writers and producers to give her character more to do, possibly including a romance with Michael. Although April was not unpopular, many fans missed Bonnie and wrote in to ask for the character to return, which she eventually did at the start of the third season.
• The writers were torn between two songs to use for Garthe Knight's theme – 'Sympathy for the Devil' and 'Gimme Shelter,' both by the Rolling Stones. The episode uses 'Gimme Shelter'.
• When avoiding pursuers, K.I.T.T. rotates its license plate, James Bond style, from KNIGHT to KNI 667.
• The producers toyed with the idea of making K.I.T.T.'s water-driving ability a reoccurring function, but it was dropped due to it proving to costly.

Average Rating: 
Rating:  - classic
Knight rider was great for its time, the graphics cleaned up well but i just love kitt
Rating:  - Even better then you remember
I'm totally hooked on these DVD's. They're so entertaining and D.Hasselhoff is so underapprecieated as an actor it's rediculous. He carries this show on his charismatic broad shoulders and you can tell he loves this character in every scene. There are also SO MANY episodes per season it's mind blowing. Season One had 22 hour long episodes whereas today's dramas only put out 9-13 tops and not nearly as fun to watch.
I give this show a resounding 2 thumbs up.
Rating: - C'mon man, WORK!!!
I love the show. Always have. I own every season. It is great to own a piece of my childhood again. The problem? Every season has at least one "problem disc" that has trouble playing (if it plays at all) in whatever DVD Player I put it in, even my computer.
Rating: - Knight Rider Season 2 is excellent!
I just recently purchased Knight Rider Season 2 and could not stop watching the episodes. This is a very fun and entertaining season as we see Michael Knight and his talking carr K.I.T.T. continue to travel from town to town, protecting innocent people from crime. It is fun to see David Hasselhoff portray dual roles when Michael Knight battles an arch-nemesis. Very recommended, especially if you have already watched the First Season DVD box set!
Rating: - Fun to watch
Fun to watch Michael and Kitt battle evil villians and keep the american people safe. To bad they cant make a real computer like Kitt that can think and make desission for itself. (Not yet) But who knows, With the way computers are advancing. we might be getting close to this kind of artificial intellegence soon.
