Knight Watch Special - A Look Back At Goliath

With the 25th Anniversary of Season Two's "Goliath" just a few days away, I felt it was time for a Knight Watch Special and look back at the Premiere Episode of season 2 in 1983.

I read where Edward (devon) never got married. He was always doing theather or teaching overseas. He was a very smart man from what I read in his bio: Nobodys knows how many Trans Am's they used during Knight rider?

[MJKnight07]

As far as 'Hero cars' are concerned they probably only used...4-5. I'm guessing. But as far as stunt-cars go...they probably lost count as to how many were used and totaled.

Mr. MJ knight07: Great sum up! The new knight show is not as good. They made it like Team Knight a little. That show as a disaster. They should have used david Hassoff in the new Knight to take the place of devon and focused on mission oversees. What do you think?

[MJKnight07]

Honestly? I think the series should have just stuck with the team at the end of the SG Pilot- rather than the Secret Service-esque styled assembly in the series.

Why did Devon need to die in 'Knight Rider 2000', anyways?...: :( .

[MJKnight07]

Apparently Edward wanted to cut down on his schedule in real life, so he asked to be written out.

But, I don't think that was quite the way he wanted.

Two words made Knight Rider reach another level in a new season, "Robert Foster".

I believe with Glen's departure, it was Robert Foster who had the forsight and the talent to keep the franchise engine running. Robert pulled out as many stops as he could manage and even with SPM they squeezed out one more season before the final curtain. I mention this because Goliath was his debut really as exec producer.

He's the man behind the scenes who carried on the dream and I thank him for it.

Season 2 was defo Knight Rider's best out of the 4. As lots of you have said Robert Foster indeed helped the show along behind the scenes. I also felt Don Peake did some of his finest music scores in this season too.

@mengle2004 Because to make a KITT Edition Trans-Am would've been impossible because the KITT dashboard design is a property of Universal Studios (who previously was a headache to Pontiac over the Bandit Edition Trans-Am. Another thing too is that the red LED scanner lens would've gotten General Motors a lot of heat from law enforcement. It would'nt have taken much for a hardass cop to mistake a Knight Rider fan for somebody impersonating a police officer.

[mengle2004]

Why wouldn't Pontiac want people showing up wanting to buy a car?

[ShreveportConnection]

ok where is the team knight rider tie into your shows? it lasted on seaqson 24 episodes i thought it was pretty good myself.

@MrThunderwing

Nice 'Beavis & Butt-Head'/Homer Simpson impersonation, there.

[tthomaselli2]

Did Edward Mulhare ever marry/have kids/divorce/etc.?

[britainmal]

Will they ever bring a new Knight Rider back to Television or make another movie?

@MrThunderwing wish i could build a real goliath for a supply truck in iraq,make the insurgents shit their pants

Great memories of 80's Las Vegas from the Knight Rider Goliath episode. For the New Knight Rider, they should have sent Kit and Michael to do missions in places like North Korea, Iraq, and Afganistan.
