I don’t think she had a “great” body. Her chest was as flat as a board. She had a weak Brie Larson butt. Basically her curves were modest at best. Her chin was square and chiseled like the comic book Dick Tracy. McPherson was not glamorous which is one of the reasons she was fired. And Rebecca Holden was brought in when the show felt pressure from Dallas, a prime time soap opera drama known for its abundance of beautiful female cast members. Holden was sexy and had a very womanly body. She was Playboy Playmate Of The Month material. The only reason she left after appearing in only the show’s second season was because David Hasselhoff threatened to leave the show if McPherson was not rehired. I have to admit the chemistry between Hasselhoff and McPherson was better than he had with Holden however Holden was a higher grade actress with damn good looks.

Can we all agree that Knight Rider has like the best intro theme music. It's soo good and I can listen to it without ever getting tired of it.

I have watched this show since it first aired. I fell in love with K.I.T.T and all his quirks. The bond that he and Michael share and how it developed each season made me keep watching. Wish it didn’t end after 4 seasons.

The season 2 Turbo Boost montage will always be my favorite part.

Wow! I'm 39 and this brings back all the best memories. I still love the show now..

They did not want to give away the SPM transformation until after KITT had been destroyed and rebuilt. When the season 4 premiere episode “Knight Of The Juggernaut” originally aired, it was in the form of a two hour made for TV movie. They used the intro without the SPM scenes to keep the upgrade a secret. Viewers did not see the SPM transformation intro until the second episode of season 4 aired. For syndication the 2 hour season 4 premiere movie was cut into separate 1 hour episodes. Both used the intro shown here. The purpose of this video is to show all original KR season premiere intros. Keep in mind that the season 4 SPM transformation intro is a secondary version. However it is remembered as the standard season 4 intro so I agree it should have been used for this compilation.
