Knight Rider: Season Three

I was really looking forward to season 3 of knight rider of DVD.

most of my favourite episodes are in this season,

Sadly this is the most lamest transfer on to DVD #I have ever seen.

I can accept that they had to replace 2 prince songs because of music rights.

However what I can't except is the clumsy mess up with sound effects.

Only 2 episodes in the entire set are as they should be.

Kitt's engine sound is missing in places buttons sounds are also missing now and then.

The really bad episode in this set is Knight of the chameleon it sounds a chase scene near the beginning sounds totally rubbish. No engine sound no tyre sound.

For an official universal release this is really pathetic.

I hope season 4 isn't messed up like this.

A company like universal should not be making these mistakes in products.

Ahhh... The early 1980's. Reagan was president, new wave dominated the radiowaves and MTV actually played MUSIC VIDEOS! Ask anyone who grew up during this period what their favorite non-animated show was as a kid and they'll probably say "Knight Rider." KR, as its affectionately called by some fans, may seem quirky and obscure nowadays with its atari centipede sound effects, poofie aqua-net hairdo's, over-acting and "sooo not the original artist" song usage, but we didn't care...

To us this was the best thing on TV besides Smurfs and He-Man and it appealed to our parents as well. KR was like James Bond meets Herbie the Love Bug. While our mothers drooled over the blue-eyed hunky Hasselhoff, we were captivated by the ominous-looking but friendly talking black Trans Am, K.I.T.T. (Knight Industries Two Thousand) we giggled everytime theives tried to steal KITT and failed, and we cried when KITT got destroyed (but they -always- managed to rebuild him).

I found Season 3 in the mall for $24. The visual quality of these discs is pretty good. It would've been nicer if they had director/actor interviews and maybe some behind the scenes words with George Barris (the guy who built all the KITT cars for the show) I can't say I care for the double sided discs as they are terribly easy to smudge, but I guess that's the only way they could fit 8 episodes on each DVD.

This show is my all time favorite, however Universal has gone and dicked it up by leaving out various sound effects and a teaser, and a wrong Season Premier Intro!

DVD is meant to bring out the best in media, not the worst, how could they lose sound effects? Unbelievable! Just doesn't seem possible... SEASON 4 is no better...

UNIVERSAL PLEASE READ THIS AND RE-RELEASE SEASON 3 AND 4 ALREADY, THE FANS ARE EXTREMELY PISSED OFF!
