Knight Rider - Season Three

This is a great episode set. My kids love this show it has lots of action. I think it is great for the whole family to watch. David Hasselhoff is a great actor who plays the role of Michael Knight. We are so glad to see that Patricia McPherson who was Bonnie on the show came back. She is also a very talented actress. She had brains and beauty.

Well, season three is finally here, and it's certainly the best of them all. Many of the stories here and in season two are the ones I remember the best, with memorable stories in season three being KITT -vs- KARR, and of course Halloween Knight, that for some reason I remember being a lot more scary when I first saw it. Oh well. Anyway, the sound quality is good. It's mono, but is always clear and of consistent volume. The picture quality on the whole is very good, and the boxset does proclaim to have been digitally remastered, and it does show. Overall, I love it. Five stars!

I loved the show on TV and wanted to get the DVD episodes. I usually watch the episodes at least once per year, sometimes even more. It was one of the greatest shows on TV & thought the actors were terrific!! I couldn't ask for anything better and it was so great the vendor was to ship so quickly!!

Growing up, I watched this show religiously... not so much for the plots or the characters, but for KITT... that awesome, awesome car. Now that I'm a bit older and wiser, looking back, I can definitely understand why this was known as the Hoff's peak period. Knight Rider came to define David Hasselhoff's career for a reason, and even in its moment of 80s era signature cheese, it was a satisfying joy ride of live action crime fighting, gadgetry and stunting. It's also worth noting that each series package has its own unique extras within the discs, so... no reason not to try to get all four.

Another Great TV series. I have the complete series. I especially like David Hasselhoff who played Michael Knight and his neat Black T-Top car Kitt. I watch this series a lot. & I would highly recommend it to family & friends. This season met all of my expectations! And I also received this DVD in good condition.

This 1984-85 Season DVD is mighty cool and my favorite season throughout KNIGHT RIDER's whole 4-year run on NBC, especially since every episode on this DVD is complete and uncut like they all were originally shown when KNIGHT RIDER was on NBC every Sunday many years ago, but they took a lot of the sound effects out in many scenes of the episodes, like they did in the episodes "Knight Of The Chameleon" and "Knightlines" for instance, but if you watch those same episodes on the KNIGHT RIDER-The Complete Series DVD that Universal released in the Fall of 2008, you'll notice a difference and hear the sound effects in every single scene like they should be, which was probably something else that prompted Universal to make and release the KNIGHT RIDER-The Complete Series DVD box set by redoing each episode on single-sided discs instead of putting them on double-sided discs like they did on this KNIGHT RIDER-SEASON 3 DVD box set along with all the other individual season box sets, which made a lot of episodes freeze and skip a lot in those box sets, especially in the KNIGHT RIDER-SEASON 2 DVD box set and the KNIGHT RIDER-SEASON 4 DVD box set since the episodes "Knightmares", "Knight Song", "White-Line Warriors", and "Deadly Knightshade" froze and skipped a lot on the individual season box sets, which was probably due to them being on double-sided discs which is probably why Universal doesn't make their television DVD box sets with double-sided discs anymore and why they've only been making them on single-sided disks for the passed 3 years now. This was also the season when KITT gets a major upgrade and a major facelift with a new dashboard with more souped up new features that KITT didn't have in the first 2 seasons, including a lit up accelerator and features on the car that lit up more. The Third Season is also the Season is also when Bonnie Barstow(Patricia McPherson) comes back to the show as KITT's technician giving KITT a serious upgrade from the first 2 seasons, but they should've used the proper introduction to the "Knight Of The Drones" episode like they used on NBC, since "Knight Of The Drones" was the last episode where KITT had his old dashboard before Bonnie gave KITT his new upgraded dashboard after KITT gets blown up from a hasty accident that nearly destroyed KITT in the process, but I personally like the 3rd Season of KNIGHT RIDER the best out of it's whole 4-year run on NBC. This 1984-1985 Season is also the season when KITT's evil prototype KARR returns with a vengence in the "KITT vs. KARR" episode, except KARR is even more upgraded than he was in the "Trust Doesn't Rust" episode. In addition to the K.I.T.T. Vs. K.A.R.R. episode, I also noticed that they used the older Trans Ams with KITT's old dashboard to play KARR, since KARR never got a new dashboard, unlike KITT. Therefore, KARR wasn't as upgraded as KITT was in the KITT vs. KARR episode and had less features than KITT did, since KITT didn't have as many features in the first 2 seasons as he did in the 3rd Season. Therefore, in a way it was almost as if it was KITT with the new dashboard vs. KITT with the old dashboard, since they were showing KARR just like KITT was in the 2nd Season. This is also the season when the reclusive Michael(David Hasselhoff) and KITT battle cattle rustlers using monster trucks to help them do their dirty work, which made it a lot like a KITT vs. Big Foot episode, which was quite intriguing, since I always wondered to myself when I was little how it would be like if Knight Rider went up against the famous BIG FOOT monster truck. Unfortunately, this 1984-85 Season wasn't as strong as the first 2 seasons were especially since this show was obviously no longer in its honeymoon phase anymore since KNIGHT RIDER was starting to get overshadowed by the premiere of the short-lived STREET HAWK since it started giving viewers too much of the same thing every week back in the Winter of '85 since STREET HAWK & AIRWOLF were quite similar to KNIGHT RIDER which resulted in this show getting a slight decline in ratings in this season, especially since STREET HAWK had stole KITT's thunder along with the fact that Street Hawk & its rider(Jesse Mach)had stole "The Man, The Machine" motto away from Michael Knight & KITT when STREET HAWK made its debut on Friday January 4, 1985 since ABC had STREET HAWK on every Friday night, CBS had AIRWOLF every Saturday night, and NBC had KNIGHT RIDER every Sunday night which started getting viewers too much competition & redundancy every week since they were all too closely related to each other, especially since all 3 Universal TV shows premiered too soon after one another too since KNIGHT RIDER made its debut on NBC in the Fall of 1982, AIRWOLF had made its debut in the Winter of 1984, and STREET HAWK made its debut on ABC in the Winter of 1985, despite the fact that the creation and premiere of both STREET HAWK and AIRWOLF were inspired by the creation and premiere of KNIGHT RIDER since KITT was the first phenomenal futuristic autmobile in television history at the time. Therefore, without KNIGHT RIDER, there wouldn't have been any AIRWOLF or STREET HAWK. Unfortunately, STREET HAWK nearly killed this show & stole a lot of KNIGHT RIDERs viewers away basically beating KNIGHT RIDER to a pulp since STREET HAWK was more high-tech & more advanced with more upgraded features that outclassed the Knight 2000 big time K.O.ing KNIGHT RIDER in the ratings especially with STREET HAWKs hyperthrust speed feature that KITT didn't even have, despite the fact that KNIGHT RIDER lasted a lot longer than STREET HAWK did & even longer than AIRWOLF did, especially since STREET HAWK didn't even last a year despite the fact that STREET HAWK also ended up leading to the cancellation of KNIGHT RIDER & AIRWOLF in the Summer of 1986 after STREET HAWK led to its own cancellation in the Spring of 1985 since STREET HAWK didn't get the ratings ABC wanted. Fortunately, KNIGHT RIDER stayed on the air and started another season in the Fall of 1985 while STREET HAWK was already long gone and axed, which made me glad since I always preferred KNIGHT RIDER to STREET HAWK anyways and I personally was never as fond of STREET HAWK in the first place either. Therefore, I was so happy when STREET HAWK was given the boot after only being on ABC for 3 1/2 months before it was cancelled permanently in June of 1985. In other words, STREET HAWK was a short-lived TV show that didn't even last, unlike KNIGHT RIDER and AIRWOLF, due to poor ratings, but the ratings on rival shows AIRWOLF & KNIGHT RIDER were still going strong. It was also interesting seeing guest stars like *Jared Martin in the "Knight Of The Drones" episode during his co-starring days on DALLAS *Alan Feinstein in the "Knights Of The Fast Lane" episode before his co-starring days on GENERAL HOSPITAL & SANTA BARBARA *Jeff Osterhage in the "KITT Vs. KARR" episode before his co-starring days as Detective Sgt. Vic Daniels on the short-lived police drama THE NEW DRAGNET *Barbara Stock in the "Knight Of The Drones" episode before her co-starring days on DALLAS and SPENCER FOR HIRE *Jason Bateman during his co-starring days on IT'S YOUR MOVE and after his co-starring days as Derrick Taylor on SILVER SPOONS and before his co-starring days as David Hogan on THE HOGAN FAMILY *Kimberly Foster in the "Knight Of The Chameleon" episode during her co-starring days on DALLAS *James Luisi in the "Custom Made Killer" episode after his co-starring days as Becker's disgruntled superior officer(Lt. Chapman) on the ROCKFORD FILES & during his co-starring days on the soap operas DAYS OF OUR LIVES & ANOTHER WORLD *Bernard White in the "Buy Out" episode before his co-starring days as Sgt. Carl Molina on the short-lived police drama THE NEW DRAGNET *Richard Herd in the "Knight Strike" episode after his co-starring days as Hooker's hard-nosed superior officer(Capt. Dennis Sheridan) on the police drama TJ HOOKER *David Hedison in the "Knight In Retreat" episode after his co-starring days on VOYAGE TO THE BOTTOM OF THE SEA I also liked the way Universal has provided a brief summary along with their original air-dates too. For instance, the original air-date to each of these 1984-1985 Season episodes was 9/30/84-KNIGHT OF THE DRONES 10/7/84-ICE BANDITS 10/14/84-KNIGHTS OF THE FAST LANE 10/28/84-HALLOWEEN KNIGHT 11/4/84-KITT VS. KARR 11/11/84-THE ROTTEN APPLES 11/18/84-KNIGHT IN DISGRACE 12/2/84-DEAD OF KNIGHT 12/9/84-LOST KNIGHT 12/30/84-KNIGHT OF THE CHAMELEON 1/6/85-CUSTOM MADE KILLER 1/13/85-KNIGHT BY A NOSE 2/3/85-JUNK YARD DOG 2/10/85-BUY OUT 3/3/85-KNIGHTLINES 3/10/85-THE 19TH HOLE 3/17/85-KNIGHT & KNERD 3/24/85-TEN-WHEEL TROUBLE 3/29/85-KNIGHT IN RETREAT 4/5/85-KNIGHT STRIKE 5/5/85-CIRCUS KNIGHTS This 1984-85 Season also takes me all the way back to memory lane when I used to watch KNIGHT RIDER every Sunday night on NBC when it was part of NBC's Sunday night line-up, which started with SILVER SPOONS at 7PM, PUNKY BREWSTER at 7:30 PM, and then topped off with KNIGHT RIDER at 8PM, which was of course before NBC had briefly moved KNIGHT RIDER back to Fridays in the Spring of 1985, then NBC changed their minds and decided to movie it back to Sundays in mid April of 1985, but was later moved back to Fridays permanently in the Summer of 1985 just before KNIGHT RIDER kicked off it's 4th Season. Something else I noticed on this KNIGHT RIDER-SEASON 3 DVD was Cozi-TV, USA, WGN, and the Sci-Fi Channel had deleted too many scenes in the episodes "Knight Of The Drones", "Knight Of The Chameleon", "Junk Yard Dog", "Knight & Knerd", "Ice Bandits", etc., in order to allot more time for added commercials in between each episode, but it was so nice being able to see each and every episode complete and uncut like they were shown originally on their original air-dates on NBC before they were even converted into reruns on cable TV and in syndication. This season also takes me all the way back to memory lane when NBC's motto was "NBC: Let's All Be There", since that was NBC's slogan from June of 1984 thru August of 1986. So way to go Universal. Hooray! By the way, Shout will be releasing the short-lived STREET HAWK with Rex Smith(Jesse Mach)out on DVD on Tuesday July 13th, 2010 for all you high-tech classic TV show fans out there.

This, the third season of this hit show, shows off the gems still possible as the hit began to fade. It is still a necessity for anyone who liked this show when it first came out and wants to have the complete series.

My primary M.O. for aquiring 3 was Knight of the Drones, which I absolutely cherished in junior high. The entire season is just as spectacular as 1 and 2 if not exceeding them. I've read the "transfer" of this season was poor but I'm not sure what this means, and I've had no issues with disk quality with the set I bought New in wraps.

Si eres fan no lo dudes ni un minuto. Tanto el producto como el plazo de entrega han sido perfectos. Excelente compra!!

C'EST PARFAIT C'est parfait J'aime vraiment cet article....... j'aime vraiment c'est parfait. C'est parfait J'aime vraiment cet article....... C'est belle . magnifique

Brilliant

Hier mal wieder eine Serie die ich immer schon sehr gern gesehen habe und jetzt auf DVD besitze. Ich hatte mir schon die Season One bzw. 1 gekauft, da war diese in einem Pappschuber und mit den einzelnen DVD slimcase Hüllen mit je 2DVD's ingesamt 8 Stück enthalten. Bei den anderen Season's 2-4 dachte ich erst das wäre da genauso, aber diese sind in einer durchsichtigen normalen DVD Hülle, also leider nicht passend zur ersten wodurch ich mir schon überlege wahrscheinlich nochmal die eins passen zu den anderen nachzubestellen. Ansonsten kann ich diese Serie nur empfehlen zu mal David Hasselhoff in dieser Serie brilliant die Rolle des Michael Night verkörpert.

This is the best of the supermachine series from the early to mid eighties which included top tv as Airwolf and Street Hawk. The season has some of the best episodes for the entire series (which ran for 4 years. Gems such as the return for KARR, in KITT Vs KARR, the great two parter - Knight of the Drones and the highly rated fan fav Junkyard Dog. Long live the action, long live the fun, enjoy the swimsuites too !!!
