I was really looking forward to season 3 of knight rider of DVD.

most of my favourite episodes are in this season,

Sadly this is the most lamest transfer on to DVD #I have ever seen.


I can accept that they had to replace 2 prince songs because of music rights.

However what I can't except is the clumsy mess up with sound effects.

Only 2 episodes in the entire set are as they should be.

Kitt's engine sound is missing in places buttons sounds are also missing now and then.

The really bad episode in this set is Knight of the chameleon it sounds a chase scene near the beginning sounds totally rubbish. No engine sound no tyre sound.

For an official universal release this is really pathetic.

I hope season 4 isn't messed up like this.

A company like universal should not be making these mistakes in products.

Ahhh... The early 1980's. Reagan was president, new wave dominated the radiowaves and MTV actually played MUSIC VIDEOS! Ask anyone who grew up during this period what their favorite non-animated show was as a kid and they'll probably say "Knight Rider." KR, as its affectionately called by some fans, may seem quirky and obscure nowadays with its atari centipede sound effects, poofie aqua-net hairdo's, over-acting and "sooo not the original artist" song usage, but we didn't care...

To us this was the best thing on TV besides Smurfs and He-Man and it appealed to our parents as well. KR was like James Bond meets Herbie the Love Bug. While our mothers drooled over the blue-eyed hunky Hasselhoff, we were captivated by the ominous-looking but friendly talking black Trans Am, K.I.T.T. (Knight Industries Two Thousand) we giggled everytime theives tried to steal KITT and failed, and we cried when KITT got destroyed (but they -always- managed to rebuild him).

I found Season 3 in the mall for $24. The visual quality of these discs is pretty good. It would've been nicer if they had director/actor interviews and maybe some behind the scenes words with George Barris (the guy who built all the KITT cars for the show) I can't say I care for the double sided discs as they are terribly easy to smudge, but I guess that's the only way they could fit 8 episodes on each DVD.

This was the season when Bonnie returned to the show and KITT recived an upgrade. Unfortunatelty the show focused on single story episodes with the exception of the season opener "KNIGHT OF THE DRONES". From what I understand there is not added bonuses or extras on the season 3 DVD, this seems to be normal with Universal DVD releases.

Overall some interesting episodes and character development but not as strong as season 2, which in my opinion was the strongest
one out of all four.

Now that season 3 is finally due to be released I look forward to completing my collection with season 4.

The season starts with a thrilling episode in which KITT gets hit by a rocket in the exhaust that almost destroys him but Bonnie updates the dashboard with new gadgets and lights and designs making him good looking.The Micro Jam function and the green lighted accelerator pedal are into the new functions.The episodes are real good specially KITT Vs KARR Knight and The Chamaleon and Knight in Disgrace.It's a good idea to include a Bonus episode of the last season but I don't like last one.The Super Pursuit Mode and Cabrio button is not very true.

The picture and sound is clear and well defined due the remastering but the transfer in some episodes are not quite good and some sound effects are missing giving that a bad final when watching them.I hope Universal can fix the second disc which is the one that have the issue.I will receive another set but I'm afraid it's the same one because Universal hasn't included these discs yet and retailers can't change them.

In the meantime log on www.universalstudios.com to email them about the problem.

I'm going to watch The A-Team Season 3 now.

This particular season is probably my personal favorite (a true fan I love them all), KITT gets a terrific redesign, Bonnie returns (admittedly I wished they could have kept April too, but well...), and the show finally steps more into the urban landscape-modernizing (at the time)it's look, feel and Hasselhoff's wardrobe and fully abandoning that tired (even for the 80's) middle America demographic. The storylines were always generally fast paced, but the score's heavier emphasis on synthesizers by Don Peake helped to give the show a more lively feel when it counted most. KITT vs KARR, Knights in the Fast Lane, Lost Knight, Dead of Knight are but a few highlights and the most major flaw of this and every other season of the show would be the lack of storylines that transcend several episodes. It was experiemented with in the second season, but more would've definitely given Knight Rider more miles to the gallon...

This show is my all time favorite, however Universal has gone and dicked it up by leaving out various sound effects and a teaser, and a wrong Season Premier Intro!

DVD is meant to bring out the best in media, not the worst, how could they lose sound effects? Unbelievable! Just doesn't seem possible... SEASON 4 is no better...

UNIVERSAL PLEASE READ THIS AND RE-RELEASE SEASON 3 AND 4 ALREADY, THE FANS ARE EXTREMELY PISSED OFF!

Season three is definitely the best in the Knight Rider series. K.I.T.T. get a cool new dashboard and there is the return of K.A.R.R (K.I.T.T.'s prototype). Also better compared to other seasons are the episode storylines and the working relationships between the main characters: Michael, Devon, and Bonnie (who returns after being absent from the second season).

Well,I am from Portugal and I was a kid when i first watched the series on the tv.The truth is that i loved,and that's why i bought this season and the last two as well,because they are really good.I am waiting for season four.

Thanks for making available the Knight Rider series on DVD. It really brings me back to my youth. Seeing Michael Knight with his really fluffy hair do has the memories come flooding back. A million thanks!!!!!!

Knight Rider is a classic. I was merely a baby when it first aired, but feel in love with it in reruns. It was way before its time content wise. When i was a kid, it was the car that made the show. Today, when i watch these episodes in season 3 , or any other season, i catch myself being caught up in the stories. Of course Kitt is still the main attraction, but each episode had a great storyline. I don't rate one season higher than another, but season 3 has many MANY memorable episodes!
