What do you get when you combine a well-meaning billionaire, an ex-cop, a sexy female mechanic and a talking indestructible car? Knight Rider, which ran from 1982 to 1986, was the American TV version of “007” that people could catch each week on their televisions, and much better (and faster) than waiting for a Bond thriller to come out.
