Shockerville..

Knight Rider is on my current hit parade.

I'm just as surprised as you are..

Really didn't expect it to be a tenth as interesting
as it actually is, but there you have it.

As a kid, the show was just some cocky looking smiley guy with a bad 'do who drives this cool talking car that goes turbo-boosting into the air and they do community service by kicking bad guy butt.* Now, it's that..plus a backstory! Amazing how some sort of an opening plot can add dimension to an otherwise useless 45 min show. I actually know what's going on now.

Ah, the magic of age.


...

Pfft. :)







*Also, I always thought it had a great opening sequence w/ that really earnest sounding deep voice over telling us all about said dude in the cool car..Nice to finally be able to fully appreciate what he's talking about...and who that person was/how he was integral to plot.. Yeah. Being able to give your full attention now that you have an attention span does wonders for these sorts of things...)

I always thought this had a pretty bitchin theme. I may or may not have it on my computer, emphasis on may. I like that this post used the phrase "on my hit parade." well done.

So right on. No-one can sit still when this thing starts playing.

I may or may not have stolen hit parade from a Whoville...but these things have been known to happen. :)
