Added DiffLines:

* In ''Series/KnightRider'', every button on KITT's control panel had a label. The ones that did useful things had plain English labels like "Turbo Boost" or "Oil Slick", while the buttons that were never used had obscure
labels like "7DLA", "6RM" or "PENG". After the remodel of the control panel in Season 3, the useless buttons had [[WordSaladTitle word salad labels]] like "Fire Assign" instead. Subverted in season 4 when an important-looking button just labeled "C" was added to the control panel, and neither Michael nor KITT knew what it did. [[spoiler:It turned KITT into a '''c'''onvertible.]]

* Averted pretty much entirely through Franchise/StarTrek's run. The Original Series simply omitted labels on buttons and such entirely. In the spin-off series, they were labeled with in-jokes, vague terms, and most often with a few random numbers. By the time [=DS9=] and Voyager came around, the panels and buttons were shown using actual screens and the labels started becoming a little more descriptive. It helped that television quality had advanced to the point that people stood a good chance of being able to read them at that point.
