That was a made-for-TV movie, Knight Rider 2000. It was on the first season DVD boxed set.Mark wrote:Wait, are we thinking of the same show??? In the one I'm thinking of, Deven Miles dies, Michael Knight finds out the Trans-Am body was dismanteled, and installs KITT on his 57 Chevy. Then the meet the gal who will be the new "driver", but KITT has to drive off a pier to save Michael and the girl, and is nearly destroyed. Then they install him on a Viper (or maybe it was a Ferrari), and off they go.
And KITT actually had a laser in a number of episodes, too. Most notably against KARR and Goliath.
