Knight Rider is back on TV screens once again, thanks to Universal's complete first season DVD box set. Featuring 21 episodes, a mind-blowing commentary, and more extras than you can shake a stick at, this is one package that fans of the show will not want to miss. As with many other TV discs, the picture comes full-frame with a Dolby 2.0 Mono sound option that effectively brings the show into the digital age, with little time needed for enhancement in either department. Aside from David Hasselhoff's hair, bonus features are really where the set shines, starting with the aforementioned commentary on the pilot episode with the coifed star himself and writer/creator Glen Larson. Now, it isn't clear if Hasselhoff was drunk or if he's just partied himself stupid, but either way, this guy is a slurring beast on this track! In the first few minutes, he's already spilling the beans on an affair between Larson and one of the leading ladies, and there's not one point where a beautiful woman shows up that he doesn't mention Baywatch -- in fact, he even goes so far as to say that he lost a few brain cells during that show. Well, after hearing this track, you will believe it! Other extras aren't quite as inebriated, though they're just as fun. The two featurettes "Knight Moves" and "Knight Sounds" focus on the synth score and high-flying stunts, while the "Knight Rider: Under the Hood" documentary gets into the early days of the show and features yet another choice line from Hasselhoff -- "I knew that this show was the bomb!" Other extras include a well-done photo gallery that's more in line with a music video, a Blueprints gallery that includes video clips mixed with actual original sketches and blueprints of the show, and a "K.I.T.T. Owner's Manual" feature that gives you the lowdown on every button, readout, and screen on the car's dashboard. If that weren't enough, the set also features the made-for-TV Knight Rider 2000 movie sequel, where K.I.T.T. is replaced by a souped-up classic '57 Chevy and Michael Knight teams up with a female cyborg cop (for real!). With foldout packaging and tight menu design, Knight Rider: Season One is a home run all around. So throw on that leather jacket, get out those tight jeans, and rock out to the first season of one of the most entertaining action shows of the '80s.
