** One of the common running gags about the show is KITT being constantly mistaken for a regular car than an advanced piece of technology. But there's a good explanation for this, and why the Mustang in ''Knight Rider'' (2008) and the Ford vehicles in ''Team Knight Rider'' make sense: If KITT didn't look like a regular car, then when he's tailing someone, the person he's tailing would notice him if he were something more uncommon on the road (for example, a supercar like a Ferrari). At the time the original show came out, Trans-Ams were common on the road. When TKR came out, each of the vehicles (including the motorcycles post visual upgrade to look like a pair of Kawaski Ninjas) look normal. The Mustang used for KITT(3000) in the 2008 was a common vehicle. The vehicles look so common that they're literally incognito in modern times.

* WhatDoYouMeanItsNotForKids: Knight Rider is often stereotyped as a kids' show because it has one hero and his super cool super car, but the first season itself is loaded with episodes about politics, corrupt police, framed murder charges, a lover implicated in soliciting crime and the murder of a sleaze magazine owner- plenty of murders in the first season. The pilot is surely not for kids. Plenty of gunshots fired in the show actually hit — and a few kill. Contrast that with The A-Team which has only two casualties in the whole run and almost none of the shots fired by the heroes hit.
