Knight Rider: Goliath: Part 1 (1983)
Season 2, Episode 1
8/10
David (Hasselhoff) vs. Goliath
24 February 2024
Like the "KARR" episodes, "Goliath" (and its sequel) seeks to give KITT a supervillain to come up against. I really wish that the series had continued this trend and given KITT and full rogues gallery, but the contrast between the two auto-baddies is stark. Goliath is huge, and while it lacks the sentient personality of KARR, it has something perhaps even more sinister. Garthe Knight!

David Hasselhoff plays a dual role as the evil son of former FLAG and Knight Foundation founder Wilton Knight, and he sinks his gleaming white chompers into it like it's a Big Mac. He's dreadful, but not in a bad way. But damn I love The 'Hoff as Michael Knight. To me, he's the best thing about the series. He's so unapologetically likable in the role that he's probably the easiest protagonist to root for in television history. Modern Hollywood should take note.

This is a really fun 1 hr. 37 min. Of 80's action genre TV. The kind that they just don't make anymore. Sigh.
