4.0 out of 5 stars "Engage Turbo DVD, KITT", October 27, 2008

This review is from: Knight Rider: The Complete Series (DVD)

I realize a lot of people out there don't like Knight Rider, but this review isn't for them! (They shouldn't even be looking at this product description if they're not interested in the show.) Apparently enough people DO like the show, since there's a new Knight Rider series airing on NBC and the release of this new boxed set.

The box is awesome...at least until the shrinkwrap is removed (reason why in a moment). This is by far one of the coolest box designs for a DVD set. Press a button at the lower-right, and a red LED scanner effect turns on with a few (very short) seconds of the show's theme music. I do think Universal should have spent a few pennies more to lengthen the audio sample. It would also have been "neater" if the effect was triggered by opening the box rather than by a push-button switch, even if it means giving up the demo "Try Me" feature for people who haven't purchased it yet.

The bad news about the packaging is a cardstock sheet on the back which is NOT affixed to the box. (Normally this kind of artwork is attached with glue dots, but not this time.) There are printed instructions for changing the LED batteries on the back of this card, and it's too big to fit inside the box after opening. So...what to do with it?? Battery instructions (and possibly a disc index) should have been printed on a card attached to the inside of the box, and the outer cardstock should have been attached to the box. Why is this an issue? Well, I for one consider packaging to be part of the product, not simply a "container" for the discs.

The discs themselves are in slim DVD cases, two discs per case, and they're single-sided encodings! Finally, fans can watch Knight Rider episodes on DVD without the technical flaws and stalls inherent with double-sided discs. There are also lots of bonus features not included with the original releases. Notably missing from the bonus features, however, are bloopers, gag reels, and NBC promotional spots. Since the size and price of this item clearly suggests it being targeted at fans, material that fans would be interested in (such as outtakes, interviews, KITT guest spots and cameos, etc.) would have been a nice addition, even at a slightly higher price.

If you're a fan of the show and haven't bought the individual season DVDs yet, get this set instead. If you've already bought the individual seasons (as I had), get this set anyway to replace the inferior double-sided discs. Even with this set's shortcomings, it's still nicely done.

5.0 out of 5 stars "One man can make a difference.", July 13, 2010

This review is from: Knight Rider: The Complete Series (DVD)

Having appreciated this series since forever, I was most pleased to acquire this comprehensive video codex for timelessly stimulating entertainment at one's leisure.

Cruising in recently to The Haunted Noctuary is the Complete Knight Rider collection, which could also be veritably named The Ultimate Collection, and The Knight Rider Codex, for it is just perfection; and here is why:

Every episode is preserved in this impressive attaché case-like sleek, glossy black box* shaped ever so slightly like the front end of KITT's front fender, complete with scanner, activated by pressing a button, which is accompanied by the theme. An overall futuristic impression. Already a gratifying experience which just gets better and better.

The DVD's & cases themselves are presented in slim, elegant black splendor, whereupon engaging the main menu, snippets of the series play along with the characteristic scanner moving with ones selection. Full descriptions on back in digital font, framed by a computer chip like border. The episodes are crisp and clear, with great sound quality,

Special features include interviews with cast and crew (The Hoff, series creator Glen A. Larson (who go at each other in an amusing repartee}, composer Don Peake, & stunt coordinator Andy Gill); an "owners manual" ("Autonomicon", detailing the various functions on KITT's interactive dashboard}; stills gallery, blueprints (of KITT, several sets, and The Knight Foundation Mansion, or the "Hassel Castle", for those so inclined; actually "Greystone"); and the forgettable film 'Knight Rider 2000' (which proves to be the "Addams Family Reunion" of this series).

So follow the adventures of this secretive vigilante (a veritable modern Black Knight**), and the wonder car KITT into the future of all possibilities.

KNIGHT IS RIGHT!

---------
* The card stock description attached lightly on the back should be removed carefully and preserved separately.
** It is interesting to note many of the parallels between Knight Rider and The Black Knight Batman {which incidentally, was never intended by creator Bob Kane to be so goofy as portrayed by the Adam West variation; but more akin to Tim Burton's portrayal}.

This review is from: Knight Rider: The Complete Series (DVD)

I was browsing Amazon tv & movies section when I saw "knight rider - the complete series" and it was like a dream come true all of the episodes in one complete box.

The box is great I love the kitt light but the timing is too short as it only lights up for approx. 7 seconds it should have been a little longer.

Growing up in a small community back in the days when knight rider aired I was a kid at the time and seeing this magnificient car which can talk and drive on its own was so exciting for me, when I would go shopping with my mom I would always look out for a toy car like KITT.

I remember I went to an electronics store and purchased a KITT light and installed it in our car and everywhere we go I would want the light on otherwise I would cry and misbehave, I would pretend that our car is KITT and would hum along the knight rider theme song.

I love the product and the packaging and would advise anyone thinking about buying to just buy it you will not regret it.....
