My Knight in Shining Armor, Circa 1984

I was flipping channels and I was distracted by a commercial on NBC. Apparently, on February 17th, KNIGHT RIDER IS COMING BACK!!! And, yes...David Hasselhoff will be in it!



Could I be more excited!?!?! I remember I absolutely LOVED that show!! I was all about Michael Knight and that black Trans-am, KITT!

I had a Knight Rider Big Wheel. How is that different from a regular Big Wheel? Well, aside from the colors, there was a KITT themed "Control Board" and a hand break. Why does a Big Wheel need a hand break? Really? I have no idea, but it sure as hell was fun to pedal as hard as humanly possible and suddenly pull it so you spun out on the bike!! I also had a Knight Rider backpack. It was blue and came with a Knight Rider lunch box. Seriously, how cool is a backpack with both had KITT and David Hasselhoff silk screened on them?

Back in 1983, I was totally going to marry Michael Knight and have a car just like KITT when I grew up. Don't make fun of me. David Hasselhoff was HOT!! He had the tight jeans, the black leather jacket, the permed hair, the catch phrase "You got it", and of course the car! Who can blame a four year old for crushing on that?!

February 17, you know what I'll be doing!!

I was totally looking forward to this, until I realized it's on NBC. My crappy rabbit ears don't get NBC. Guess I'll have to watch online.
