* Michael's reaction to the empty shell of KITT after he's hauled out of the acid pit in "Junkyard Dog" is a combination of this and TearJerker. Don't even get started on Michael's dogged refusal to give up on KITT afterwards, from sitting outside the workshop like an anxious relative waiting outside of the "emergency room" to his talking KITT into going back into the field when he's clearly scared to death by [[YouAreNotAlone recounting the terror he himself experienced]] after his "death" at the beginning of the series.

** When the lead engineer notes KITT's been traumatized by his experience, he mentions reassigning KITT to "light" duty (basically retiring him). Michael however wont hear of it.

* Near the end of "Give Me Liberty... Or Give Me Death", Bonnie (rather contritely) tells "Michael" not "KITT" to be carful, Michael actually does a DoubleTake, before he thanks her.



** Then there's KITT and Becky's relationship. We all know that KITT it TheStoic, with a good side of snobbishness and vanity, but he will willingly sacrifice every scrap of dignity to make that little girl smile. She even calls him ''Literature/BlackBeauty''.
** A puppy was substituted in the episode ''[=KITTnap=]''.

** A good example, the season one episode "Hearts of Stone" has Devon try to get Michael off a case. Devon tells Michael it's cause he doesn't want Michael getting killed. It's the first episode in the series when Devon admits he actually cares.

* During one episode, KITT gives a down and our homeless man ten dollars from one a Foundation account. That was sweet enough, but then said man turns up again at the end of the episode with two beautiful women and a nice suit. Turns out one of the things he bought with the ten dollars was a winning lottery ticket. When he tries to give KITT back what he owes, KITT refuse, saying he should find someone else.''

* While most of "The Scent of Roses" was sad enough to be TearJerker material, the fact that KITT stayed in the same parking-lot for two weeks. Induring all kinds of indignities to be near Micheal's side is very sweet. Not to mention it actually saved Micheal's life when KITT used the hospital intercom to stop an assassin from killing him.

* Michael and Devon's relationship gets a mention. It starts off with them butting heads more often than not, at the very least strictly business. Then in later seasons, they seem to warm up to each other and develope a really nice father-son relationship.
